The interview is great! Blomdahl I feel doesn't really get the credit for what he did to Efren in the 90s. When Efren was in his prime.

Wild stats when you consider Caudron and Zanetti are both in their 50s and playing at world class level.

@Bert van Manen US Bida is the carom cafe of Texas. By far the best equipment and the most well taken care of in Texas. The service is great too!

I respect that opinion but I think it’s up for debate. I’ve gambled with Alex in 3c and I think Alex might say Manny is the better 3c player. Regardless, it’s definitely close.

I’ve seen him bark at Skylar Woodward to gamble some 3c Skylar politely declined lol.

From my experience most snooker tables in the states sit pretty high up. While all the carom tables I play on sit pretty low. Probably because the majority of carom players in the US are Asian.

Sometimes trying too hard to force progression will stagnate one. It’s hard to accept that it takes time. Simply playing pool in general applies to all the things you listed. You can’t fake or force experience. If you could teach a toddler everything you know in life in the time it takes to...

No. Because i want to win.

The biggest misunderstanding I see pool players make about 3c is that, "3c will help you with your pool game". This idea is only half true but much more nuanced that pool players like to believe. 3c will teach you how to use new angles yet the equipment plays so radically different that most...

I think i agree with the pool rooms. 99% of real pool players don't care about carom billiards At bogies billiards in Houston we used to have a 10' carom table and literally no one ever played on it. Years went by and it just never made any money.

The biggest tournaments in the US are not promoted that well at all. The smaller local tournaments you'll never hear about unless you play at the same place regularly. Membership? Those are not as common in the US as they are around the rest of the world. Promoting? Very little to almost none...
