    New Carom Roo.- Chantiy, VA

    It looks like Mr. Park from Los Angeles was out in Virginia changing the cloth this week. He's the best mechanic in the country! Photos from Mr. Park's Facebook

    Any Reason Not to Use a Brush or a Vac With a Brush Attachment on Cloth?

    I've never seen a robot vacuum do a particularly good job. --- I found a decently priced used Shark Stratos cordless vacuum, this 12" horse hair brush shop-vac attachment, and a 3D printed Shark -> Shop Vac attachment converter. I've been using this at my club and its worked like a dream...

    Toolbox for 3C (Using Feel/Experience instead of Systems)

    3C is my primary game but I only play a 0.4. Here’s an example shot (shown in the video thumbnail) where draw is used while the ball is sliding in order to shorten the line. 8m28s

    Toolbox for 3C (Using Feel/Experience instead of Systems)

    This one is confusing to me. Are you talking about how hitting below the equator allows a greater ratio of spin to speed, resulting in a longer return, as opposed to actually drawing the cue ball off of a ball? Drawing off a rail shortens the return angle.

    Is the 3 Cushion game picking up like the pool game is?

    I certainly think it’d be just as easy, if not easier, in pool. Place a ball in the heart of the pocket. Basic shot.

    Where to play 3 cushion in Tucson, AZ?

    I'm not familiar with any spots around Tucson as I'm coming from California. During last January's tournament, the ballroom was open until midnight each night of the event for practice. My understanding is that it was also open the night before the players' meeting, so be sure to check on that...

    [1996] Dick Jaspers giving Dan Segal a lesson

    A friend tipped me off to this video, what a gem. Somehow, it only has 300 views. 4 hours of a private lesson between Dick Jaspers and Dan Segal, a Chicago 3C player.

    Small tables

    I’ve been looking at getting a small table for the apartment. I only really have room to play comfortably on a 6ft. Olhausen quote me $5,000 for a 6ft carom table earlier this week.
