Where to learn/play in NYC

[ejw2164]

I live in NYC and wanted to know where I can go to practice my one pocket game. Been playing 8 ball since I was a kid but started watching one pocket matches a few years ago, mostly to see my favorite 9 ball players make cool shots, but it's become my favorite game to watch and I think I've finally started seeing shots/understanding strategy. I know the pool halls I can go to just to practice on my own/play myself but feel like the pressure of actually playing a more experienced opponent is the best way to learn.

The most 1P is at Sandcastle in Edison, NJ. They got some super tight tables there
Some action at Skyline, some at Amsterdam and Society.

Welcome aboard. Consider virtual lessons with Tom Wirth if you can find a source. His book (One Pocket A Game Controlled Aggression) is very valuable as you begin to understand the game. Nobody explains 1p better.
