This channel have a lot good stuff. It is Turkish but i still recommend it!

Thanx....I’ll go there a few times....Turkey has been a serious Billiard nation for a long time.
a Turk in Montreal showed me a pic of a nine legged carom table...can’t find it on the web....
...ever heard of that?....one of the legs is in the center.

then use a pool simulator to analyze shots in carom

Byrnes trickshots for carom are known shots that work and most are pretty easy.

An appropriate dialog would have you responding to the question.

Why would someone who wants to learn how to play a game benefit from a trick shot?

trick shots are about repetition

do the reps, it helps and matters

 

[Black-Balled]

You next contribute much but trash talking people.

I am satisfied with that. Can't say ithats wholly inaccurate.

Game play still FAR better though.

Trick shots are where you end up, NOT where to start……

Br careful there brother. You just dipped your digits into uncharted waters by semi-agreeing with 'the num'.

Anybody who thinks you're NOT an idiot troll who should be ignored is being hurt by your clueless posts. Go away and ruin your own game.

Sounds like a pretty solid table.
A room I used to play in all of the time had a heated Gabriel's Kronos with granite bases under the legs.
Very solid table and played great.

start with the byrne shots in his trickshot book.

That is like telling someone who wants to learn first aid to start with brain surgery.

To the OP -

1) you don't need a billiard cue in the early going, but if you keep with the game you will eventually want one. Personally, I have a Hanbat, which is a high quality brand with a number of very reasonably priced models. You can find them in the kozoom store. hanbat on kozoom Scroll down for the less fancy more reasonably priced cues. There are, of course, many other very fine brands, most of which are also sold on the kozoom site.

2) in my experience the biggest difficulty I, and other beginner/novices, have is 'finding' a shot. Watching some of the very many high level billiards videos on YouTube is a great resource. I like to pause before they shoot and try to predict the shot. It is this abstract nature of the game where you first have to figure out a shot before you can shoot it that sometimes frustrates pool players.

3) Learn the patterns and principles in Byrnes' books. The big ball, the 2-way shots, the naturals, the 5-rail pattern, short angle shots, tickys, etc. One you learn the basic patterns you'll spot those shots easier and learn how to adjust them as needed.

4) If possible, play with and learn from better players. And, if they are open to it, ask questions.

5) Have fun. Treasure the points you make and don't get frustrated by the ones you miss.

Is there really no (decent) book aimed at beginner 3C players, introducing them to the game?

Someone should write one.

But Hoppe brought the diamond system to the public as a learning aid

That’s great advice, thanks.
