Here in Houston, we play it as a ring game. between $5-20 per point but if you foul or carom all 3 out of turn you owe everyone whatever the bet is.

I'll try to make this short & simple. Taiwanese carom is played on a pool table, NOT a carom table. Even though there are other variations of the game played on carom tables. There are 4 balls including the cue ball. 1 white, 1 yellow and 2 reds. Color matters but number doesn't. It's a...

Have you played it? Super fun and hard.

I hope you get well soon.

That seems to be true on the surface but for me it's hard to say. In games I'm unfamiliar with, this is often so much overlap that you have to weed that stuff out before you can get to the parts of the game that are maybe specific to that game. i.e. Taiwanese carom also called 235, on the...

I know there is two different versions and then there is a game called Kaisa I'm not real familiar with. Either way it seems like a fun game to play.

Have you played any pyramid Bob? just curious. I know they got some tables in NYC and I know a guy who has a home table in FL but I've never had the opportunity to play.

I'd love to play @garczar at any game.

I think gambling is required at the higher skills levels because, In many games, there is an option to runout or play a lock up safety to win. Both are in the player at the tables capability but maybe the runout is a little bit more tough than the lock up safe so get ball in hand and runout...

Great if you want to run 714 points in 14.1 though 😝 for real though hats off to Shaw for that. regardless of equipment. My bad for getting off-topic here.

They do this in 3c tournaments as well. Like at Carom Cafe in NY

That's what I used to think. But it's not. many 3c shots require you to go so many rails but having to shoot the shot kind of soft.

It's not as bad as you'd think.

I'm also not convinced that hyper-clean equipment is absolutely better. It's better/easier to do some things but harder to control other things.

Where I play 3c, they have a guy whose job it is to vacuum the tables and bring a new set of clean balls after every game. He sits and waits for games to be finished and basically you hear a vacuum in the background the majority of the day.

What is OWT?

Every time you post a link referring to something you've just been proven wrong about in the thread. I just get the sense you don't care about the truth of the argument and you are just trying to grow your business/reputation by posting more links to market yourself. Kind of annoying really...

It's clearly what we're talking about.

Well you made a whole video about it.

Does all this mean that I can start playing one pocket with my phenolic break tip? That way I don't have to have more than one cue. Would be pretty convenient. I could rough up the tip really well and use toam chalk.
