Am posting this under Snooker rather than Caroms. Is English Billiards still played as it was played before Snooker and it brings into play potting balls caroms ,straight , cushion etc., also scoring the cue ball into a pocket and probably defense. Once had a book published from UK "Teach Yourself
Billiards and Snooker" - Richard Holt. Also author said
" a good billiard player can give a good snooker player a game but a good snooker player would not possess an earthly against a good billiard player at billiards". Is it apples vs oranges?? Never played either but have played pool and 3-c . It seems to me that the English Billiard player can pot balls and can play defense so I might agree with statement. English Billiards seems to be a vey interesting game but probably lost audience due extremely high runs.
