this is great, gonna show it around. Pity there are no tables in England that i know of. Would love to give it a go.

Take a ride through the chunnel. The French and Belgians love it.

Carom is not boring, it's very challenging and it does improve your pool game greatly. It's why Efren Reyes is such a good kicker.

and it's completely unfair to use a contest between one pool player and one billiards player as a measure of every pool player against every billiard player. i hate when people try to compare disciplines based on flimsy evidence like this. pool and billiards are different. they require different skill sets. same with pool and snooker. just deal with it, everyone.

pocketball games are so boring and simplistic compared to carom billiards

@CarnalDiafragma It happens the same to me, Im from Argentina and I play italian billard since a year... I can win now to some old pool players lol... They just can't use cushions!!

@niaalll When you hit the cue ball on the left or right side, i guess. So "left English" => hit the cue ball on its left side

[wazoodog79]

@b5b9 you're actually in a hotbed of carom. in manhattan i know of at least one billiards hall with several carom tables on 32nd st. btwn 5th and 6th ave. in queens there are a few, with carom cafe in flushing being the most well known. some world-class players can be found there. in palisades park nj there at least 2 halls that i know of, and 1 in little ferry nj. there is also another in edison, nj.

Thats all we play here in colombia, im the shit at this game nigguh!!!

[FoulOwl]

I'd really love to try this sometime.I cant imagine where to find a table though.Its hard enough to find a snooker table in your average pool halls anymore.

[b5b9]

This is a good set of exercises to get started with billiards. The real trick is to find a billiards table. They are not very popular in the USA. I live between New York City and Atlantic City, and I know of only one billirards table in that whole 100 mile stretch. The good news is that you can practice the shots in video on a pool table. It will improve you 9-Ball as well. (Think about a 2 or 3 rail kick shot.)

Carom is great, and more popular than pool here in the Netherlands. I'm playing for a year now, and it really does make pool easier.
