Thanks, interesting clip; but it really looks like a boring game to play. It makes it clear why 3-c was invented, that caliber of player could go on with those little dink shots forever.

his record break is 4137... if i'm not wrong at one point in his career he would give a spot of 7000... or rather he conceded 7000 points first or something like that... he was a freak...
Have you ever played it? Though it does look like it could be tough for us mere mortals, it also appeared boring to me. Is it more exciting than the clip suggested? Three cushion doesn't strike me as boring, but this does.TheOne said:
I figured out that a billiard appears to be 2 points and a pot appears to be 3 points, is that correct? Is there something that is 1 point?
The great Walter Lindrum
Thank you so much for this very rare footage of a man many consider the best to ever hold a cue. What is REMARKABLE is that he is talking about what he will do on each shot, prior to shooting, and never misses a beat. To talk and shoot is SO hard to do. Try it sometime.

Yes played it when i played Snooker in the early 90's. I also watched some friends play it regulary at a snooker table in Sydney, think the high run was in the 70's which got them pretty excited lol and many of them where 100 break guys. Sure they could have got big runs but they didnt play it much. It can be a little boring I guess but teaches you alot, many of the old boys encouraged me to play it as it teachs you potting/scratch angles etc.
3 points if you pot red and it respots
2 points if you pot cb BUT it stays in pocket
until end of break then opponent gets ball in hand in the D. was 2 or 3 for carom, prob 2 forgot sorry lol
