I'm in the money! How do I tell if I am a pool player or a carom player? I like the idea! I would like to try to beat a carom player.( maybe Jim Shovack) I play both games but for the last couple of years my game has been 3-c. So, 57 years of intermittent pool with some carom mixed in, very...

The Samurai is coming! "Shoot Straight with angles" Dan Bennicas

look good The comment about how good appearence seperates the 3-c players from the working class is out of sync. For the most part the tournament players are the working class! There is no extreme wealth derived from tournament winnings, most have real jobs just like the rest of us. The 3-c...

dpamond system Bill, You speak the truth and never before have I heard it spoken so well! I was taught the system many years ago and never mastered it with much success although I use it on some shots on shots that are played on either half of the table, it seems to be somewhat accurate...

carom inserts on Gold Crown Bob, It seems that the Gold Crown with inserts and full size carom balls and 860 simonis cloth plays slightly shorter, almost not discernible. A novice player would probably not notice the difference. When we play three cushion on the Gold Crown we usually play...

carom balls Bob, from my experience and the feedback I get from ALL my customers the overwhelming conclusion is that playing with full size carom balls is the only way to go on a pool table with carom inserts. Yes, it is true that a ball could jump off the table if struck with extreme top...

baulkline shot Bill, How about this! Thin of right side of red with high center medium to hard stroke, long into opposite corner tight, short, long, long, short long. All three should end up in clustered near yellow. Dan

fun shot Bill, I shoot this shot with slightly low center ball medium stroke, strike long rail first in front of yellow cueball then across backwards to long then reverses short, then back to long then to point ball red for four rails if you misjudge sometimes the cue ball goes past the red...

every picture tells a story Tom, What a fantastic piece of billiard history! Where did you find this?------- This depiction tells the story. --------- First of all the guy on the right won the match!. You can tell by the smirk on his face, that expression is familiar to me, I have seen this...

fun reading this thread It seems odd to me that no one has mentioned the barometric pressure reading while trying to thin hit an object ball a certain way or the moons gravitational pull on the earth or weather the tide is coming or going or if the table is heated enough or the balls were only...

help! Bill, I agree with you,"PROPER PROFESSIONAL INSTRUCTION" is probably the best way to learn how to play carom billiards. Also, I agree about the difficulty of grasping knowledge from books and videos we experience. The problem some of us have is there are no professionals in our immediate...
