Region3
Ryder Cup Winner
Posting about snooker earlier got me thinking about spin etc, and I remembered this guy.
The game he plays is 3 cushion billiards and the idea is that you have to make the cue ball hit both of the other balls on the table, but it must hit at least 3 cushions before it contacts the second ball.
The first video is exhibition shots so there is some artistic licence to the rules on some of the shots. The second one is part 1 of 2 from a run of 15 he made in competition. The second part will be in the related vids down the right if it interests you.
The cloths are stupid fast, and I think they use 2.25" balls (same as American pool) but still, the spin and control they get is (imo) nothing short of awesome. Puts snooker players positional play in the shade!
If you've played a cuesport to any sort of level I hope you'll appreciate it.
