What do you team players love and hate to hear from your team captain? Is there something you wish your captain would do that he/she doesn't? Also team captains if you have something to offer that would help other captains. Chime in!

I play all the games with Elkmaster tips. which are soft tips. Ironically, spin has never been an issue for me. especially in Carom games. I've never once in my life not been able to get enough spin regardless of tip type. but plenty of times have not been able to get enough power. meaning a...

I've had Robert Gomez run 3 consecutive points on me. In Houston we play if you foul, i.e. hit all 3 balls out of turn, you owe every player whatever the bet is for 1 point. Once we were playing with 4 people including myself for $20 a point. I fouled and it cost me $60 Fouling is more common...

Dumb rule, no doubt.

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 3-sequence game in order to score 1 point...

It's called Taiwanese carom or 235. Super fun but really hard. Like really hard. I think most players shouldn't play it if you don't have a strong cue ball.

You can also hear him say, "10". 5 seconds before his shot. But when he yelled 5 it seemed a little louder maybe facing towards Gorst. I also don't think Gorst intended to concede. He was just frustrated and was like screw it.

I think Gorst got sharked, you can hear someone yell in the crowd during the middle of his last stroke.

One interesting thing is, top pool equipment now plays closer to carom equipment than it used to. Basically slicker equipment in pool. Of course it's still much different but it's a lot closer. So when it comes to adjusting from one game to another, well... I don't have the answer. I'd say for...

Do you agree with his comment about having to choose one discipline over the other in order to be a champion? What about Boston Shorty?

Oh man... what a treat! Thx for posting

Anywhere down bellaire between hwy 6 and beltway 8. you'll find many places. Goodays, US BIDA, and Trish off beechnut that has both carom and pool tables.

Alright... let's get you to bed grandpa.

What are you trying to say here? are you agreeing or disagreeing or what?

If you are trying to play caroms to improve your pool game, there is nothing wrong with playing it on a pool table. In the past, I used to think, that playing caroms on the pool table was quite silly. but carom tables play much differently than pool tables. You'll hear good players say things...

On another note. I think a table that plays a little too fast is far better than a table that plays a little too slow. Why? Because you can do more with the cue ball and you don't have to sacrifice the object ball with power in order to get position. i.e, rattling the object ball cause you hit...

I thought the video was pretty darn cool.

I would also think @Bob Jewett would be able to help you or point you in the right direction.

There are definitely pros who will give you lessons. Easiest person to contact I think would be Mazin shooni

I think that works well too. I've heard people complain that water hurts the felt. If that's true, what happens when it's a humid day?
