  • One of the best if not THE best.

    Three Cushion Billiards is a carom billiards (carambole) the rule of the game is to hit 2 balls with your cue ball. Simple huh? well they must have thought so too, so they added a twist to it. The shooting player's cue ball must contact the cushions of the table at least three time before first touching the second object ball of their shot in order for the shooter to add a point to their count.. All his shots would actually win a point in a tournament eventhough they look like trick shots. If 9 ball could be compared to NASCAR and snooker to LE MANS, Three Cushion Billiards would be definatly the F-1.

  • name of the game

    The name of the game is "3-balls" I think...

    You must hit the other 2 balls with your ball

    • he's just a trick artist

      he's just good in tricks in carom ball. He's not the best player in the world, give respect to Efren Reyes,Earl Strickland and the likes. And this is the first time I heard of him.

    • Name of the game
