    Just another tobacco thread ...

    Maybe in 50 years time our attitude towards tobacco may develop to be like our attitude towards opium today.

    Why is Efren the best?

    balkline Personally, I believe one major reason is because none of Efren's competitors have exposure to balkline billiards, a carom game that trains the speed control of three balls simultaneously - every millimeter matters. Anyone who's ever seen this game practiced at a high level will...

    To wrap or not to wrap....

    What about rubber wraps? Most all of the carom players that I know use a rubber or rubberized-foam wrap. -Ira

    Semih Sayginer "One Man Show"

    If you get the DVD (plug plug), you can see how he first describes the shots (very funny stories before most of them) and the proceeds to nail them one after another.... very impressive. There are shooters that can make some of his shots, but not with Sayginer's level of humor, nonchalance...

    Why did the carom champs not participate?

    I know and respect the difficulty of all cue games played at high levels. For me personally, I feel like carom (specifically 3-cushion) is the most difficult cue game to learn how to play. Obviously, everyones' opinion depends on how you measure difficulty. One possible guage is to measure...

    searching for a spider

    I know that Pockets in AZ bought two Elitte tables from Carom Cafe after the 2005 Sang Lee International Open. Is there only one table there? Best way to get an Elitte table is to contact Roberto Rojas in MX. -Ira

    Shouldn't Carom Have Its Own Forum Apart From Deno?

    I discovered back then that a great way to learn 3-cushion was to referee games with good players... Sang played a great match; if I recall correctly, he ran a 14 and a 15 in the same game. Louis Havermans is a terrific player, too - he has a lot of discipline and a classical European style.

    Shouldn't Carom Have Its Own Forum Apart From Deno?

    "Carom Billiards" is a perfect name. We can talk about 3-cushion, straight-rail, balkline or 1-cushion. We can use wei's http://cuetable.com/C to discuss shots.

    What's the 'right way' to play this shot?

    Sure thing. Even if you were a little off on the speed control and have a slight angle, you could either draw or follow it with a quality stroke and hit one of the points to avoid the scratch. If I had too much angle to avoid the side scratch to pocket in the corner, then I might even kick it...

    Shouldn't Carom Have Its Own Forum Apart From Deno?

    I'm not so informed about US snooker - but I think there is a great chance we'll see more carom activity in the US to come. Willing to help change things by gladly playing a role in the discussions and represent someone who is active in the carom "sphere" (and online). That is, if there are...
