7 ways to play caroms in three-cushion billiards, with a greater margin of error!
00:00 Introduction
00:15 Big Ball
02:10 Play 5 Cushions
03:35 Double Chance
05:47 Zig Zag
07:45 Ball Near the Cushion
09:38 Rotation
10:35 Reversé
These ways of playing will allow us to be more effective, since we will have more room to make mistakes, and still score the point.
These 7 ways to play will help us make better decisions when selecting the shot.
FIRST:
The first way of playing, known as the big ball, occurs when we have left or managed to place a ball close to the corner, and thus have a fairly large margin of error to make the carom.
This is a widely used strategy in the position play game, and it is effective as long as the ball in the corner is the 3-ball.
In this channel we have several three-cushion billiards systems to play this type of position. View the L.K.L. System Video Series
SECOND:
The next way to play is to play 5 cushion instead of playing 3 fair cushion.
In the diagram shown on the screen we see that if we decide to play 3 fair cushions, we will have a very small margin of error to achieve the carom.
When we decide to play over and over again, with little room for error, we are exposed to failure over and over again!
In this type of position, and whenever possible, it is better to play 5 cushions, as we will have a much larger margin of error and this will allow us to be more effective!
THIRD:
Here is a way of playing known as the double chance, because even though the 3-ball is off the rails, we can miss the 3-cushion carom, but still score the 5-cushion point!
This way of playing is usually used mainly when the 3-ball is close to the arrive line, 20 to the corner.
It would be a tactical mistake to miss the carom on the side that doesn't have a double chance!
FOURTH:
The zig zag is a way of playing that offers us a good margin of error, and is widely used to solve many uncomfortable positions.
In this channel we have about 5 3-cushion systems to play this type of position!
FIFTH:
The next way of playing, called the ball close to the cushion, is used when we have a ball, different from the playing ball, away from the corner, but close to a cushion.
As shown in the image on the screen, this type of position gives us a good margin of error, if a shot is selected where the ball closest to the cushion is ball 3.
SIXTH:
When we have a ball very close to the cushion, and we decide that this ball will be ball 3, if we play with rotation, this will allow us to have a greater margin of error.
In this channel we have several 3-cushion systems to play with maximum spin or rotation.
SEVENTH:
Finally we have a way of playing known as the renversé, this way of playing offers us in certain positions, a fairly wide margin of error.
In the position shown on the screen we can see that we have a margin of error around one diamond!
