I remember flicking through the t.v bout 10 years ago and seeing 3 cushion billiards on Eurosport. At first, I didn't know what the Hell they were doing, but after watching for about 30 mins I got the concept and have loved it ever since. (watching it that is. I have never tried to play it)
Would someone please educates me the reason why switched hands to his opponent, right after he did such a great shot at 5:13? Perhaps, I’m lacked of understanding the professional billiard rules. Thank you. Oh! I understand it now. As it was explained by @aprendochino “The point in this case is scored when…, but before touching the last one your ball has to touch at least 3 cushions”. Wow! That’s kinda difficult to achieve though.
This is Billiards ! Anyone can put a ball in a pocket (Pool or Snooker, what's the difference ?) But make a SINGLE three cushion, takes 5-10 or even more attempts even for the best snooker players, I would argue !
Each player has one own queue-ball. And then there is the neural ball. The aim is to, with your own ball, hit both the two others (your opponents and the neutral one, the order doesn't matter) - but before hitting the second one, the queue-ball must touch three cushions. Then you have scored a point. The queue-ball can sometimes hit one and the same cushion twice (without having touched another cushion or a ball , just by extreme screw) ! Hope this helped !
@@Luffi98 I agree, OP's statement is a huge stretch. Every discipline pushes it's own boundaries to it's limits. Also Efren was already a good 3cushion player in the past, and it shows.
This game doesn't look like it would be very fun to pick up for a beginner. If I was able to score a single point in an hour, I think it would be entirely due to luck. Feels like it would be very difficult to see any progress at all in your skills without at least a few months of intense practice. Or a few years if you just played casually.
People usually start playing Straight rail billiards, where one point is scored each time a player's cue ball makes contact with both object balls (the second cue ball and the third ball). After learning a bit, you start playing 3 cushion billiards, what you have seen in this video. The point in this case is scored when the cue ball touches the other two balls, but before touching the last one your ball has to touch at least 3 cushions.
Shouldn't that bottom spot on the scoreboard keep count of how many proper contacts were made? The spot stayed at 0 the entire match. Sorry, I'm trying to learn.
I think the world record is held by Eddy Merckx, 50 points in 6 innings. Of course I’m not saying this to undermine Dani’s great performance, in any way. Just useful info on how much the game has evolved.
NightWatchmanState World record is 40 points in 4 innings performed by Dick Jaspers. Anyway, world 4 top players make great history in carom billiard matches.
Puzzling over the third shot at 2:00 - it looks like the cue ball hits two cushions, then the red ball, then...the other ball? Where is the third cushion hit? I can't see it even in slow motion
it actually hits the long rail again after hitting the red ball. the framerate and quality of the video make it hard to see but the cue/red balls wouldn't travel that way if he only hit the first 2 cushions
@@aaron-yoon Ah got it, thanks. Finally noticed it at 0.25x speed. Which also cleared up a decades-long conundrum - the draw shot in "Donald in Mathmagic Land." Always thought that was a 2-cushion shot, until I played it back reeeal slow and noticed the third bounce and subtle change in direction.
@@djnak7856 you're welcome. it's something you pick up when playing for fun having to referee your own games. knowing ball pathing and common shots is often easier than counting rails.
Shit man, I was wondering the same thing, then I saw your comment and the reply, checked the replay and there it was, fucking crazy. But it hit two cushions, then the ball, then the cushion again, then the last ball. So I'm guessing the cue ball just has to hit three cushions before hitting the second ball, it doesn't matter what order tho right? As longs as the cue ball hits three cushions and the red before the cue ball hits the yellow, no matter what order?
Iniciando el video uno piensa, y esos tipos de la mesa de al lado, que se creen??? porque no paran y ven esa demostración de billar?.... Después uno se da cuenta que no es casi nadie el que juega en la mesa de al lado.
I tried it for the first time tonight.. boring in some ways, but the payoff for success is pretty great, considering the challenge. Probably only made 8 points in over an hour of trying, but they're so satisfying.

Unbelievable , simplicity in rules and complications in skills.

Watch Semih Sayginer. He is the master, Efren Reyes kinda.
This game might work on tv, with a shot clock, periods/quarters of play & with a timed ending: biggest score over 60 minutes, say...
My first experience with billiards. Amazing.
sanchez es genial
Gezzz I would be damn lucky to win a race to 3.

I remember to have an old vhs with a very young Daniel Sanchez, and I immediately sayd: This will be the next world champion.
What is the best cue stick weight for play 3 cushion pool billiard?
What is a good brand cue stick for play ??
Please let me know
520-540 grams and a tip thickness of 12mm. Longoni, Adam, Predator are the most known ones
Thanks

I should have written "at least three cushions"
I think you’re get abit too excited there.
It's true that three cushions is one of the hardest variations of billiards, but thats a pretty bold statement, check Effren or O'Sullivan

Joe rogan brought me here
Same. Looks odd without the pockets but I feel like just smashing it every time would be relatively effective
Same same. Wtf am I watching?
😂😂😂same here this shit is crazy
Cool. His pool video with Lennox Lewis I presume?
guilty plus i wanted to see how many keys it took to press to see it pop up in the suggestions
The game of men
Amazing

very low resolution
da la casualidad que la mesa de al lado juega nada mas i nada menos que el numero uno; frederic caudron.
Dani made 40 points in 7 innings.
He is the best !!

Yes, you're absolutely correct. I totally forgot about that!

Is this guy supposed to be good?
Hell, it 38 minutes he couldn't pocket a single ball.
This is one hard fucking game

how can something be so technically impressive and so boring at the same time?
How can a game this skillful be regarded as "boring"?

Pues nada raro. Yo también me hago cuarenta de esas. Pero con siete entradas al orinal, cinco cervezas, y todo en dos horas....
Y eso sí no se suben demasiado las cervezas jajaja jajaja jajaja
@@juanbautistahernandez5484 jajajajaja ven doble bola o algo así? jajaja
This game is beyond confusing
how are the points scored? Why bouterin has three points at 6:18 even though he didn't do a single valid shot?
@Ivory Leyva Thank you very much, now I understand
áo trắng đáng ngang tui.
2:02 quite hard to see the 3 cushions here - I guess the referee is more used to this type of shot
I thought the same thing. I guess it hit the rail again after it hit the red. Doesn't look like it in the video though.
QUÉ PÉSIMA COSTUMBRE,EN MUCHOS DE ESTOS VIDEOS, NO INDICAR COMO AVANZAN LOS MARCADORES.
What the... What?
BoldCautionProductions you’ve never seen 3 cushion billiards before?
como puede haber imbeciles a los que no les gusten 40 carambolas en 7 entradas?
¿ Y qué tal si prefieren un mejor ángulo de cámara, mejor definición de video, mejor audio, mejor score, entre otras cosas?
this is so boreing>>>>>>
