1 cushion challenge
- Thread starter Texas Carom Club
- Start date
Bring it on! Please do. You know I’m down for any challenge.
I knew once I got to 20 nursing the balls that I could probably get to 30 with that technique. I know it’s anticlimactic but don’t discount the the time and effort it took to learn. Honestly it took me days to figure it out. I learned quickly that it’s a lot harder than it looks. Concentration was key and focusing on a short stroke to helped keep the balls together was crucial. I’d like to be able to run 30 from the break one day, I don’t think I’ve even broken 10 yet but I’m still trying. Thanks for introducing me to this great game, I’m always looking for more games to play on the carom table.

Anticlimactic yes

Very kool you enjoy it and learned from this

What are the rules? And reward? Lol. Maybe do straight rail first so I can learn as I go. Balk line seems a lot harder. I don’t want to draw lines on the table quite yet but I can measure the distance from the rail to the ball to see if it’s in or out. I have no idea how to play so if u have instructions and a video that would be helpful. Thanks

striaght rail also has corner lines drawn
1st diamond from the corner of the short rail to the 2nd diamond from the corner on the long
reward? lol a nice tcc shirt, and the knowledge of playing new games well
trust me
trying to measure with a tape on shot after shot to a line thats smaller than 1/8 of an inch,
will be tiresome
caudron has a video on balkline just like 1 cushion and straight rail
here is the 47.2 video

and it only gets MUCH harder with balkline 71.2 and 47.1
if you were to do balkline, id say dont bother wtih the small anchor boxes, your not good enough to take advantage of them not being there, straight line drawn 47cm from each rail will do
but i understand not wanting to mark your table, i doubt any 3c establishment would allow it in the us even for a demo
my table and a handful of viets would be the only ones in the us doing so
mines done in sharpie
i gotta find the time to give it a few hrs a day here and there to get back to where i can probably show something well

How many points do I need to go to in straight rail?
Is it from the break?
Any game from the break is harder.
I’ll check those videos out.
I think I can eyeball the corner lines in straight rail. Thanks for the shirt offer, I really like the logo.
