'Carom Skills' derive from actually playing, 'Straight rail/1 Cushion/18.2 Balkline on 'Carom' tables! Because of the 'Diameter' of 'Pool Balls' on 'Pool tables' as to the 'Carom Angles' much different to 3C Balls on a '3C table/cloth/cushions. The Actual 'Size' (has to be twice as long as it...

When a 'Short cushion' is used/needed in this type of shot it's called an 'Across the Table Shot'. It's the 'Cloth' not the table. If you noticed in the video I was using the CB, 3ball and 1 ball! Not 3C balls, are too large for 'Pool' table cushions. Think about the difficulty of 'Running...

Billiard or Pool table it would not make a difference! 'Billiard cloth' 'would make the CB Slide' a little more of the 1st rail. 'Pool cloth' 'Grabs a little quicker' off the 1st rail. In the 'background' of the video there is a GC 1 is a 5'x10' Pool table, about 8 years ago I ran (13) on...

From a while back when I was going to the 'Pool room.' Closest 3C tables are, 150 miles North and 150 miles South of me. I compromised/improvised!

Tell Keith, 'Smitty' from the 'Rack' said Hi!

Just found a couple pics of Bob. One is the last photo of He and I. And Bob getting the $!

That's the 'Noun/word' they use to define an 'Attempt/counting swing' at the golf ball.

If "shoot' is good enough for Robert Rosen, it's good enough for me!

To each their own.

In the USA, a 'Casual/Hobby minded/amateur' player is around 0.500-0.750 average in tournament/gambling play. Gambling at 3C was 'Very Lucrative' for me! Personal achievements for me in Nationwide tournament play in 82, 83 were 'Record Breaking' for that era! BTW, All on 'Unheated' Brunswick...

No One that plays 3C at a 'High Level' does it just for a 'hobby!' I think you may not understand the 'High Level' 3C game. This Man knew what 3C was, even in the 19th Century. Abner Finn who wrote this about billiards. “It is a science—the study of a lifetime, in which you may exhaust...

I feel I should share a little more, 'honesty' about Bob and I. We reunited again about 8 years ago after not seeing him since the 'Burlington' tournament. He came to play in a 'Team 1 Pocket' event held by a friend of mine Gary Patrick in Cocoa Beach. We picked up with 'Cutting up jack...

Let me give the 100% Facts on Bob "Big Bob" Ogburn post demise. In the beginning of the week in this thread, I noticed a couple of posts that fished around the fact that Bob's remains had not been handled in the proper manner! On Wednesday morning, I decided to investigate truth/status of what...

I first saw this Very Sad news about Petie on FB from Bob (Bobby two rails)Feldman. I didn't want to believe it! I called "Fusco's the Spot" and they confirmed what I had dreaded. I was in Total shock! I knew Petey wasn't in the best of health for a while, since I had spoken with him around...

I thought Jay W. was handling the arrangements. I can tell everyone, from personal experience when the deceased wishes are to be 'Cremated' a 'Blood' relative has to sign off on it. A friend of 50 years and I were in Tulsa in 2006 doing some gambling. On a Friday we went to play Golf with a...

If I remember correctly, Le Pro's weren't really 'solid leather!' They were ground up leather dust mixed with glue! In the early 90's I was one of the first in US to get them. $100.00 (50) Kamori n a metal tin.

What's up? You're killing my action here! Nevet wakeup a Sucker.

Just a Bump!
