Stumbled on some videos (youtube) of the ANAG Billiard cup in the Czech republic which was held last year . The tournament Featured 6 of the best players in the world for the small disciplines of Carom billiards. Games of 71_2 baulkline, 1-cushion, and Three cushion were played. The Finals was...

Somebody made a neat 20 minute clip of the EK Classics Teams final ( small games ). Here is the youtube URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7yqOc0MLJQ Two Dutchman and a Belgian vs. Two Spaniards and a Belgian:smile:

I was at Eight Ball Billiards in the city of Maywood, CA today, 21st of April. This weekend, including today, is the three cushion open. 10 bucks to enter as a spectator. Mostly standing room only for spectators. Saw the Shovak vs. Professor Q ball ( I think ) match. Both players made...

If you go to the site "Vimeo" ( Vimeo.com"), which is a site where people post videos like You tube. On the search bar you want to type in the term "Billar". You should get a lot of Carom and three cushion videos from Spain. Usually these videos are one camera angle, but most of the players...

my cue case I am poor, so I first bought the Sterling (Taiwan) 2x2 hard case which design was probably ripped off some American cue maker. I have more then 2 cues these days so recently I bought a Sterling 4x8 soft case. I like the soft case but my butts have a rubber grip and I find it hard...

Might be that there is something wrong on the Butt end of the cue? Perhaps the threads inside the butt side of the joint is askew?

I agree that it might be a good idea to promote the smaller game disciplines. I think the reason Korea has so many good three cushion players now is because they have a very large four ball straight rail base. If I were to use a balkline stencil and mark up one of the local tables I play on...

I am learning both games at the same time. I believe that some things you learn in one discipline compliments the other, while some things in one discipline are totally foreign to the other. If I practice billiards I find it easier to start with practicing Straight rail first and then play...

Thank you.

I like the open ball Idea, and the three chances.

Also learn gather shots, as it helps you get the speed down for certain patterns. I bought Xavier's book and in my opinion it is the book to have on the small modalities, even if it is in French.

Mezz Carom Cue I was also curious about the Mezz line of Carom cues. I contacted the American Distributor for Mezz cues. The Lady I talked with said for now they are not going to sell the carom cues but may in the future. I have seen Mezz A-yo carom cue being sold on Ebay in the past.

Banda you inspired me to go look on the internet for one cushion matches. I found some on the Vimeo site. The matches are of the Spanish Players: http://vimeo.com/21256228 http://vimeo.com/20576108 http://vimeo.com/21228046 http://vimeo.com/21171431 http://vimeo.com/20536525...

Thank you.

Hanbat Help Here is the URL for the Hanbat three cushion line wood joint: https://www.hanbatcue.com:44304/shop.php?c=list&mall=3 if you click on an individual model the page will change. In the botoom of the page you will see the words in English " Billiard front image", click on the inside...

That particular model in the craigs list ad is one of Hanbat's lower cost cues. The Hanbat's sold at Kozoom.com are the high end cues. I am not saying the lower cost Hanbat cues are bad quality, I actually own and play with a low cost Hanbat and really like playing with it. If you go to the...

I just discovered on youtube two recent matches of one cushion: http://www.youtube.com/user/antonioruizbillar#p/u/32/NM4p_1qT35c Three of the top players from Spain: Rafael Garcia Poveda, Raul Cuenca, and Jordi Garriga. There is also videos of Emile Wafflard teaching 47/2. He is the Teacher...

El Monte Thanks for the information. El Monte is just down the freeway from me.

Brawley Billiards I went to the Brawley Billiard hall a few years ago. At the time I was living out in the California Desert and the town of Brawley was less then two hours away from me. I remember asking the lady behind the bar for Carom Billiard balls and she didn't even know what I was...
