Pocketless Billiard Table
Our 3c CueTable was modeled after a 5' x 10' 3 cushion table. Everything was up to scale and all the markings are correct. There are multiple balls and different grids for various billiard games (3 Cushion, 4 Ball,Balkline, Italian 5 Pin Stecca). The table works the same way as the pool table. For information and tutorial on using CueTable please visit our HowTo page. It is available in 5 languages. The table is also blog ready. If you like Balkline Billiards or would like a little mind exercise, please take a look at our example blog: 76 Shots of Weingartner Billiard Program For an excellent animated introduction to 3 Cushion Billiards, please go to Carom Cafe's Website: http://caromcafe.com/

Cue Ball Control From a pool player's perspective, 3 Cushion Billiards requires the total visualization of English action and rail effects. It has be regarded as "the mother of all games" or "the Tai-Chi" of kung fu.This game has been around for a lot longer than our grand grandfather. Prior to the 50's, it was considered one of mainstream sports among upper class people. The rules is very simple: There are 3 balls on a pocketless table. The Yellow and the White are the cueballs. You will decide on which cue ball to use before the game starts. To make a billiard (1 point), use your cue ball to hit the other two balls. But wait, before your cue ball hits the second ball, it has to hit the rails 3 time. Therefore it has got the name: 3 Cushion Billiardsd. It is a game with positive attitude, people encourage you go for the score instead of playing safeties. The game is always going foreward; there is no penality in scratching (no pockets), jumping the ball off the table, miscuing, hitting blank or hitting the wrong cue ball.
Trivia
"Do you know Billiard was more popular than Basketball in America before the 50s?" "Do you know Billiard, Bowling and Cricket all share the same origin?" "Do you know there is no point penalty in 3 Cushion Billiards?" "Do you know George Washington played Billiards?"
"In billiard, every stroke is an expression. Sometimes you have to hit a ball hard, you need to transform your whole body into a hammer to achieve the level of intensity. And for a soft shot, you will be flowing as light as a piece of feather." - a good Billiard friend
