Want to learn 3-cushion

[jjspelman]

HI, I had posted in the main forum and it was suggested I try here as well.

I would like to know if there is anyone available to meet and introduce me to 3 cushion billiards in the Tampa Bay Area. I know there is a place called Billares here in Tampa but I am also willing to travel for the right situation.

Thanks!

why do you want to learn 3 cushion?
is it to learn the game or to learn ways to get the cue ball around the table?
or both?

I am sure there is. 3C 101 instruction on U-Tube.

Just one.

Absolutely both. Fascinating game in my opinion.

Just play on a pool table if you have one.

It's really cool watch the trajectory of the cue ball for several seconds before it hits the second ball.

Can a you use a standard pool cue for this or is a carom cue a better option? If so why?

At the risk of offending my friends who sell carom cues....

The difference in size between a pool ball and a carom ball is comparable to the differences between common tip sizes, which is to say down in the noise. I think the vast majority of pool players who want to try carom should use their pool cue at least at the start. Maybe try a carom cue later to see if in fact it works better for them.

Beautiful game, once you start playing you’ll never stop

I did find someone local here who was affordable. but unfortunately there was a language barrier. He was hispanic and his English wasn't the best so we were constantly, and I do mean constantly, using our phones to translate. lol

But I don't feel I was learning anything anyway so I have moved on. He was a very good player but not a great teacher, unfortunately. I will keep searching.

Have you starting reading Byrne's books yet?

I wil find out tomorrow morning if I got them for Xmas. I do, however have one of them called "Complete Book of Pool Shots", which I think is pretty cool.
