Don't be sorry .....1 pocket is the toughest game there is, and I went on a quest...much like now with 3C, to learn 1 hole about 5 years ago. I set up a camera over my table and worked out many of the situations we set up over at the 1 pocket forum and loaded them up at Vimeo. Maybe I'll start...

O.K. So, I come to AZB and always check out the Carom section first to maybe learn something new since I'm a noob to 3C....But there are just too few topics and I can't stand reading the main forum sometimes! So I am just going to ask questions here about what I am working on during my sessions...

and blurting out random comments on the forum! :) kidding kidding....I had no idea why you posted this so I had to make some sort of comment! I'm a plumber and have to deal with so called people in their element (dirty bathrooms....icky kitchens etc.) i feel for you man! have fun, G.

Yea, Bob... I have been noticing that as well. Also I have seen cues where the extension goes at the joint instead of the butt end? interesting anyway :) OP, I am also searching for a new carom cue. I use my pool cue with an OB2 shaft and I can move the ball fine, but I have used carom cues...

Welcome, I too just returned after a long hyantus, hernia, hessians, hyawatha, ....lay off! :) wheres my spell check? d_day.... Hey cool name if it comes from Animal House BTW! have fun... G.

Like I say to my apprentice weekly.....EVERY person in the world should have to spend a week in the shoes of a plumber! We see more nasty stomach turning junk in the average home then you all would ever expect to see in the corner bar! You drive thru the average suburb neighborhood and suspect...

If you lose the lag and the other player runs 5 and out, do you get a chance to break? G.

I also used Champs for a spell on my Schons and I am now using Kamikazi "S" and "SS" which might be a shade soft so go a step harder and you will love em! Not to mention the price is right and the guy is an AZ'r. G.

I know right! I already caught myself walking past my gun cabinet calculating what to sell to afford a gabriels or the like! but the GC is doing ok for now :) All I need now is a bar table and I will have the trifecta (9' GC pocket/10' 3C/bar table) in the basement. My own little pool room :)...

Thanks for all the great info guys! 3C Learning is coming along GREAT, and faster then I expected. My table is playing fine, but obviously slower then the Kronos down at the pool room. I think that helps me because there are many shots that I cannot force to go on my table that you can on the...

Sweeet room! I'm not far from you down here in Montco. Gerry

I really don't care what my player "looks" like so much as, I care what it "SOUNDS" like. The sound a cue makes when hitting a ball is my #1 concern because it tells you very much about the construction of the cue/shaft. For me the perfect sound you ask? it is almost like a hammer hitting very...

Well Put! Well put man! I am accomplished at playing 1 pocket, rotation games, 14.1 etc. and safety play is a big part obviously. I have been watching HOURS of 3c matches and those guys just look to me as they are firing at the point at all cost. To put it another way...I would not feel...

So, I'm playing some over the weekend, and hitting em good. The guy I play a lot wants me to pay more attention to "safe" or the defensive aspect. He plays with leaving the other guy nothing to shoot at before he looks at making the point. I don't like to play that way because to me it feels...

THAT, and for my $250, will I at least get some kind of memorabilia so when I explain the tourny to the next generation....they will get that the pool shooting public made this happen.....NOT just Dragon Promotions? G.

Thanks for the info man! I have gotten a few pm's about the k-55 rails. And, yea, I hear you about the installer.....I did take his word on the condition of the rubber, but the final decision was mine I guess...maybe I should have gotten a durometer? If I was gonna stay with the Simonis300 I...

I hear you man, and I can come up with the bucks for a high end piece, but I want to try to get this old girl playing nice if I can?! I learned on a table exactly like this one, and it was built the same year and month I was born! June 1966 :)I have a total of $1200 in the table so far....SO...

Hi guys, I am looking to have a 3 cushion billiards/carom cue built. Here is what I have in mind. >Butterfly cue with flame veneers above handle only. >Must have Low Deflection shafts....(2 please) >Joint can be wood to wood. >No purple heart please. I do like Burl woods. >Wrap less cue...

help! OK, After a week here is an update of my table so far. My rail rubber is DEAD! it makes a "thud" when hit and the ball slows instead of rebounding. I can practice short angle shots fine, but when I step up the speed the performance just is not there. I think I am going to break it down...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Bkt2u-fmsU For the past 6 months or so I have been playing 3 Cushion Billiards and LOVING it....I recommend it to you all. Pro speed is an average of 1.0, meaning you make 1 billiard per turn. About 1.8 and above is world class speed, and where they can average...
