This shot was ridiculous. You need to absolutely PURE the cue ball.
Best display of cueing you've ever seen

Yep,
I’ve been playing since the late 1950s.
Btw, I still have the Guiseppe red, white and blue case with your name on top!

The poster...bought hizzelf a diamond the other day.
He had posted a wwyd with a shot he was having trouble with and was referring to that.

marvelous display of cueing control and creativity

that's a lot of nursing for me.. what's he doing at 6:05? how is that not a foul?
impressive run either way.
thats the highest level of play you can get in the game, to continue to get to that position
ref was watching, dont know what to tell you other than it probably wouldnt get the correct action if it was a foul
It's a soft masse shot. Those are pretty standard at the "small games" of carom billiards.
How do you feel he fouled?
right. i meant if it's froze against the cushion, the tip would make double contact. like a push shot. no cierto?
About 10 years ago Larry Nevel won the Music City Open (he actually chopped with J. Archer) and he never missed a ball the entire tournament . He got out of line one time in the finals and was very upset. I loved watching him play. RIP Larry!
Almost. The rules of carom billiards are different from pool and snooker. At carom you are not allowed to shoot into a cushion the cue ball is frozen to. At pool and snooker it is allowed.
Since there was a ref right there, I have to assume the cue ball was close to but not frozen to the cushion. The ref must announce a frozen ball.
(If the cue ball is frozen and you shoot into the cushion at an angle, the tip will normally make only one contact.)
Speaking of carom, in one of the last 18.1 (47/2) balkline championships, Caudron ran 300 and out in his final three matches, I believe. I only saw the last two on video. Here is a video of Fred demonstrating and describing a run:
YouTube refuses to allow that path for me. Maybe they hate reddit. Here it is direct from YouTube, but you have to click "Watch on YouTube".
