Book video for Carom Billiards: Small Table Circle Patterns

This is a collection of shots that occur within the quarter table at the short rail. The cue ball goes off the long rail, short rail, and the opposite long rail - but only within a two diamond area.

For each shot, there are two table layouts. The first is the ball positions on the table. The second is how the pro player made the point.

++++++++++++++++

There are two ways you can use these examples.

First - as a mental exercise. Study the ball layout and the ball paths to determine how the shot was played.

Second - as a table exercise. Set the balls up in the positions. Try to duplicate the shot. It may take only a few attempts, or a lot before you learn how to consistently score the point. You will do a lot of experimentation with different speeds and spins.

The result will be a better understanding on how to play similar shots during your competitions. Enjoy the learning process and good luck!!
