I only play the 3c and haven't met a cuesport I didn't like yet.

I'd play the shit out of some 1c but nobody else wants to do that.

I mentioned previously I ran 20 on a pool table (I don't know how, I think I was just lucky since this is kind of difficult). I finally got to a carom table last week, and after some adjustment I was able to run 21. I was actually very surprised that practice on a pool table could translate to a carom table so quickly, and also within the same day. I am back to the pool table and I am struggling to get past 10 now lol.

I guess you can learn a lot and then translate it, unlike some people believe.

It amazes me that the level this game was played in the 1940 s deteriorated so quickly in about 20 or 30 years, and stayed that way another 60. If someone had said he's a great player, he ran 140, they would have had a giggle fest.

You clearly don’t know the difficulty of this game nor the highest level of modern play which is the highest ever been

Congrats you learned something today

I guess I did learn something , This game sure looks like a version of straight rail to me. Not that I have much experience with it , only heard about it and watched about 3 minutes of it. Maybe it isn't a duck , but it sure does look like a duck to me. {and probably 99% of the people who don't watch 3 cushion or any other carom games.] If it wasn't for Semih Sayginer's trick shots, I would have only watched about 5 % of what I have seen.
Thanks for explaining the game to me, and helping me to learn to appreciate it.

It has a lot of problems to solve and its own position stragety but no baulk lines which is nice. Similar to straight pool in a way. You learn ball behavior very well
