Did anybody watch the final of the world Championship in Peru? I was curious what Zanetti was upset about in the first set against Jaspers?

Golf is a game that uses the numbered snooker balls. I have seen it here in California and my Mexican friend said it is popular in the Northern Frontier of Mexico.

A worker at my local Billiard hall uses a tiger Carom cue with a 10mm tip to play the game "Golf" on the snooker table.

Looking forward to playing straight rail on a Diamond table when the tables make their way to Southern California.

From off the top of my head In Europe using 61.5mm balls: Three Cushion Free game 47_2 baulkline (Cadre) 71_2 Baulkline (Cadre) 47_1 baulkline (Cadre) There are other Baulklines played on smaller tables but they are essentially the same as the above three. Cushion (one cushion) 5-pin In...

For three cushion I play with a constant taper shaft with a 12.5mm tip. I think the meatier shaft helps me play three cushion. For straight rail I play with a 11mm tip with a Euro taper. The Straight Rail shaft is smaller and lighter then my 3-c shaft. The Straight Rail shaft is used for a...

About those other pics I mentioned that I took pics with my digital camera but was not allowed to attach to this website because the pic files were over the limit. I have posted the pictures here at Photo bucket: http://s1112.photobucket.com/albums/k490/Billardfriend/

I purchased a cue from Mexico a few months ago, NTS-B. Cue came with one shaft. It is supposed to be a Helmstetter carom cue, made in Brandenburg Germany. I honestly do not know the authenticity of this cue, but I will say I had an old Helmstetter shaft and it fit into the butt of this cue...

Great find Ira, Thank you. Here is another rare one of a young Jaspers teaching Straight rail: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5K6X55s1sM&feature=channel_video_title

Thank you.

I have not had the chance to play with a Layani cue. As for the weight of the cue it sounds right.

Libre cue A Longoni cue with a Constant taper and a 11mm tip with the cue weighing less then 500 grams is the way to go if you like libre. Lowest cost model starting at around 200 dollars. Here are two websites that carry in the USA: Traffic control Caroms...

Yes, I do. I live in Los Angeles. Out of the hundreds of 3c players I have found only five serious straight rail players, if you do not count casual players who play Korean Four Ball. Here is a youtube channel with lots of non 3c carom footage...

Hi Gom, I played in the little three cushion tournament on fridays at Hard Times at Bellflower, but I am a C player playing other C's. I thought the B+ three cushion tournaments at Hardtimes was on Wednesdays?

Hi SlickRick, if you like the small games I found this youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/BillardFriend?feature=mhum Check it out. As for the skateboarding keep at it.

I think table cleaners and tournament organizers are the unsung heroes in the Game. Thanks to all the worker bees out there.

To answer your question SlickRick I think the tables in the old 4 ball videos of TBC are not heated. I think now some of the new Hollywood Carom 4 ball tables have a heating element. Having Gone to Korean Billiard halls I noticed that the Korean owners like to keep the tables very clean. How...

I think Women's Three Cushion is a good thing. I always liked watching the pool matches of the WPBA when I had access to cable. I am not sure if the Lady Japanese Carom players will come to a Tournament held in the USA this year or next year given what has and is happening in Japan.

I may be wrong but I always thought a smaller tip was good for penetration while a bigger tip was good for spin in 3_C? :confused: I use a little over 12mm tip for 3_C and use a 11mm tip for libre (straight rail). It seemed like the bigger tip helped me with spinning the ball at 3c speed...

Hello Manuel, I am below .5 player for 3_C, but I am also trying to learn the free game. Nice to meet you. Have you seen the book "Billar / Billiards: Modalidad a la banda / The Band Mode " by a Valeriano Parera Sans? Dean
