Hi...,everyone!
Some closed frind to me, told me that If I want to start to count with the right way,
I have to read the Frederic Caudron Diamond System.
Any ideas where I can find this information, please?
 
Have a look at Andreas Efler's "Systems in Three-Cushion":

Personally, I think a great place to start is Bob Byrne's book(s). The second half is dedicated to 3-Cushion,and gives a good discussion on the corner 5 system (I think it's called)

http://www.amazon.com/Byrnes-Standa...UTF8&qid=1413484348&sr=8-4&keywords=bob+byrne

I am sure there are many others, but surely this is a good one to start with. (Mandatory in my mind)

Good luck.

+1 for this. I learned a lot from his books, studied them for pool then when I picked up 3 cushion already had a nice library of information! His explanation of the Corner 5 system with all adjustments etc. is one of the best I've read.

Thanks everyone for the ideas. I follow the link for the Byrne's book but I'm getting a description for pool game. It's sure that I'll find 3-cushion system inside?
 
If you live in near a 3C teacher/pro, then the hands on explanation is very helpful. I am fortunate enough to be able to play against George Ashby most weekends and for me, being able to see it work and on the spot tutoring/help make the systems easier to learn. Books and videos were good also but just not the same. Also some decent basic info on youtube.
As for use during pool games, the knowledge can help but you need to make adjustments for the table size.

I just wish I learned the stuff over 30 years ago!

Good Luck

I don't think it's the table size, more so the rubber is different on pocket tables. If a billiard, pool, or snooker, as long as the tables are twice as long as they are wide, (5'x10', 4.5x9, 4x8) the table size has NO bearing. IMHO.

Yes, the second half is Billiards. If you do not trust me, check out the table of contents through that link. "Book Two: Three Cushion Billiards"

Best of luck!
