[ali44993]

برافو برافو حركات رائعه والله

[PcmRox182]

other part?

[TheAnthek]

fuck u...

[Dragonflamz]

as much as i appreciate this takes skill i much prefer the pocket games

[lemonite1]

I can see/predict what he's doin on some of these shots but when I try and play them I double kiss most the time. I'm figuring out that the speed and angles of the 1st object ball hit has alot to do with this game, not just stroking, hitting w/proper speed and riding the angles w/english. Object ball control, someone please explain so that I won't keep double kissing.

[edwardvanhalen123456]

on some shots its natural that you def wont double kiss, i would say on most shots you can avoid that but just practice man

[emrei78]

very nice row

[tearlach45]

this game looks extremely boring

[CadillacMatt95]

Wow that takes so much skill

[raaabjk]

[raaabjk]

[vidpro007]

It's not pool, Mr. Felson, its Billiards.

[meowtrox]

@vidpro007 what's the difference sir?

[barkingspider403]

@vidpro007 Let's see the line is: "I don't play pool Mr. Felson; I play billiards.

[KCOME99]

i dont get how to play pocketless pool

[jvswerbo]

@KCOME99

Hit a ball, touch 3 rails and hope you hit the other ball. tough game.

[TrackMania753]

@jvswerbo does it matter hat ball you hit first?

[asmcveigh]

@TrackMania753 no, it doesn't

[assassinspharaoh]

your ball can hit the first ball and the 3 rails in any order you want, as long as you get 3 rails before you hit the second ball.

[geeraertsr]

schitterend stukje biljart alleen 't commentaar in 't Smosmosjefs is vervelend.

[BrianMichaelEvans]

I don't understand how anyone can be as good as Blomdahl.... ALL of his hits are DEAD center ball. How can someone be THAT precise and THAT consistant. .....incredible.

[sas1ni69]

this game is soooooooooooo hard !

[DLPBurke]

like your brain.

[geovajo]

es un fracaso

[eohax1]

this is my first time watching a game like this. THAT LOOKS IMPOSSIBLE!

[leopoldoespinosa1985]

I´m a big fan of Torbjorn Blomdahl, and surely he was the best player in his moment. Somebody said that he was the greatest of all times, but recently he was playing not so good as he used to. Now I think that Frederic Caudron and Dick Jaspers are playing better than him, but that´s just matter of time, the monster will rise again.

[SlickRick4EVER]

@leopoldoespinosa1985: I believe Torbjorn's waining down. He was not as strong as in the 80s and the 90s. Jaspers is a good player, only he's quite slow. Frédéric Caudron is possibly going to be a very strong verson of Ceulemans. If Blomdahl steps down, I believe that Caudron's going to be the next carom star only because he's got his basics down very well (Straight Rail; Balkline 45,1&2; Balkline 71,2 ; One-Cushion).

[espinosaleo6212]

My friend, I think you´re right in what you said. But above all the things that can be said about Blomdahl, in the time he lead 3 chusions game, no one can defeated him, nor Jaspers, nor Caudron, specially Cuelemans. I´m agree with you, Now Blomdahl is waining down, there´s a big distance between his highest level to the currently now. Caudron actually is the big carom´s star, his technique, agressive game and precision make him the strongest player in a carom table. Thanks for your answer.

[SlickRick4EVER]

Can you believe that Blomdahl set a record for 50 points in 9 innings?!?! That's a 5.555 average! Yes, Torbjorn was a monster back in the 90s. He still plays well, only what's up must come down and for him, he's already in the downhill stage. Will he play like Ceulemans and stay the same game as he gets older? Absolutely.

[espinosaleo6212]

Absolutely agree. I have video of Blomdahl in Mexico in 1998, he made in a practice game the highest run (I think so) ever catched: 38 points. Yes... 3 cushion points. I´m sure this video is a jewel, send me your e-mail and I will share this piecemaster with you. It´s a practice game against a mexican player. I´m sure you´ll love it

[espinosaleo6212]

Oh, I almost forgot it, there´s a player named Eddy Leppens (surely you know who is he) and his game is very interesting. We must pay attention to him, he´s getting stronger. In the last two world cups of WBA he defeated Caudron, Blomdahl, Jaspers, Fortohme, Murat Naci Coklu and many other players of the top ten ranking.

[SlickRick4EVER]

I recalled Eddy Leppens, but I believe he's just another up-and-comming player. I wouldn't really shun away from the Koreans; they can play! Perfect example: citizenized American and late greatest, Sang Chun Lee. The man played Dangoo (four ball freegame), converted to 3-cushion, and become a sensation here in the US. The day he died was the day that three cushion nearly died... we lost a great carom player.

[espinosaleo6212]

Surely! Mr. Sang Lee was, no, he still being a legend on 3 cushion billiards. Sure Koreans can play, but, have you ever seen a game between Mr. Ryoul Kim and Blomdahl or Caudron, Europeans ever domain him. Maybe koreans must give another step in their levels to defeat Blomdahl, Caudron or Jaspers, even Sayginer. About Leppens, I saw a video in which he made a shot of 25 points! Can you belive it? And some other video in wich he made 60 points in 13 innings, incredible too. He´s growing surely

[SlickRick4EVER]

About Europeans dominating: You know they have and always will. :) Those people have the utmost patience for the small games, great carom tables, excellent cloth manufactures from their countries (simonis & granito), and they have that metric system in them to calculate shots to the millimeter. That is why the USA will not be the carom elites of the world as they were back in the first half of the 20th century. Willie Hoppe was the last ever master of all carom games.

[ibcannonball]

this takes alot of skill. i play very good pool and still can not do this consistently. These guys are awesome!

[jtmoney606]

how do u play this game i don't understand it?

[JohnPizzaPan]

With your object ball (white or yellow), you have to strike the cue ball into 1 of the 2 object balls (if you've got white then that's red or yellow, and if you've got yellow that's white or red). After caroming in a ball, you have to hit 3 cushions or more and then carom in the 3rd ball.

[timen1986]

i give this comment +1

[cptCrax]

That's *almost* correct. You have to hit the other two object balls, and before the second one, you need to hit three rails. That means you can do rail, rail, rail, (1),(2), or you can do rail, (1), rail, rail, (2), etc.

[JohnPizzaPan]

Thanks for the precision.

Even though those shots don't really happen that often, it was necessary to point out that flaw in my explanation.

[WZamp]

@cptCrax your explanation is very helpful, thanks. except just one thing I dont understand. Are you allowed to choose which ball is your object ball, or is it always yellow?

[OsirisGOLAD]

@WZamp One player has the white ball as the cueball(the ball they touch with their cue) and the other has the yellow as their cueball. The term "object ball" refers to a ball that you are trying to hit with your cueball, thus you never touch an object ball with your cue. Henceforth, the red is always an objectball, and the white and yellow are object- or cueball depending on the colour your were assigned as your personal cueball at the start of the game.

[DLPBurke]

This is a cheap version of billiards then? Played on a snooker table

[JohnPizzaPan]

But in billiards you don't necessarily have to carom balls against each other ever since you have the option of Potting the balls since it's a Snooker table if i'm not mistaking. Plus, in 3 Cushions Carom, you have to hit 3 cushions like I explained earlier. Table may be bigger in snooker but 3C Carom takes a incredibly huge amount of skills to master.

[DLPBurke]

You get more points in billiards by potting balls as well as hitting them. The more balls you cannon and pot the more points.

billiards is also exremely talented and this is obviously a descendant. It is also much harder to get the same spin on the ball in snooker....

[jakevmorales]

its not a cheap version of billiards BUT this IS Billiard,,, no pockets or sometimes called carom.. this is the original game where pool w/ pockets came from..

i can tell you are a Newbie...

[DLPBurke]

More tactics involved in one I play :) I feel

[sas1ni69]

don't confuse them you tard. it's a 10 by 5 billiards table not a snooker table.

[mattarex]

Semih Sayginer always on top

[xedvux]

Blomdahl is the best.

[Haberdager]

omg left-handed and he makes it too

[adityarockstar]

NICE  VIDEO
