Blomdahl runs 15 at SLIO 2007 Part 2 of 2 (CaromTV CC107-01)

Why are American commentators unable to draw straight lines on the screen? I'm the sure the technology isn't that expensive...

@sillywalks111 CaromTV is a non-profit organization. I'm sure they would appreciate your contribution of such equipment since it seems like the cost would be negligible for you.

[rob3c]

@sillywalks111 Also, ball paths rarely follow straight lines between rails. They curve after every impact, and often the intent is to show which curves are significant and why. For "straight line" tools to be useful, they'd have to be clever enough to show the curving, exaggerating small ones when necessary for illustration - something easy to do freehand.

Drawing perfectly straight lines between rails isn't helpful to anyone learning the game since it ignores one of the most important aspects.

[sillywalks111]

@rob3c You've made your point. I'm just used to the crisp lines that are shown in televised snooker matches. I would never have thought it would be expensive.

will somebody stop him?? 

[drewfla]

Wow, every time a shot is set up, I have NO clue what to do. I have absolutely zero knowledge of this game lol

[tuitenlabi]

is there anyone score more than 15 points????

[rob3c]

short answer: yes, many times!

The highest recorded in an official tournament is 28, although a few people have made runs in the 30s unofficially.

Unfortunately, the 15-point set format that is common these days limits runs to 15 in most tournaments. The event that this video is from was *not* in set format - it's just a coincidence that the tournament high run for the finals was 15. There were actually a few higher runs in earlier rounds, but they didn't count towards prize money.

@tuitenlabi yes my friend, RAYMOND CEULEMANS, the BEST biljartplayer in the world EVER from BELGIUM has broken ALL records, i'm not sure what his highest score was, but it's around 25 or 30 i think !!!!

search for him on the net, he is really the ALL time best player ever !!!!!!

Luc - Belgium

just like a 147 break in snooker we have 15 run in 3 cushions

[forcefollow]

Its guys like blomdahl that makes me feel like a rotting bucket of puke. The only thing he needs to work on is his hair style, but if you can do something like that who cares?

[bbnut]

Blomdahl is such a geek, but he's deadly at any cue game.

[akaLpasLan]

Good player

[enesparla]

I'M TURKISH THAT VİDEO SUCCESFULLY

[xedvux]

Blomdahl is the greatest 3 cushion player ever.

[psssa55]

He's the man. no doubt.

[Hernan7]

I'm the first person to comment on this video !!! Actually the third person to view it :D. It's just amazing to see Mr. Blomdahl play 3 cushion. I wish this game was more popular in the U.S.

[davricsin]

yeah, is the best game that ive played, but still dont play snooker :(

[winda20]

This is not snooker this are billiards and hopefully its pretty popular in Portugal.

Blomdahl is an FC PORTO player now (my team) yay!! =D He is awesome!
