Carom
Three cushion billiards is a fascinating variant of billiards that is characterised by its particular complexity and strategic depth. The game is played on a rectangular table measuring 2.84 x 1.42 metres and uses three balls: one red and two white balls for each player. The aim is to use both white balls to hit the red ball and then the opponent's ball with a maximum of three cushions before sinking your own ball.
Strategic planning and precise positioning of the balls are crucial, as each shot can contain both offensive and defensive elements. Players must not only position their own balls, but also anticipate their opponent's movements. Skilful techniques such as spin and precise ball control are essential to master the difficult demands of this sport.
Three cushion billiards requires not only technical skill, but also mental strength and an in-depth tactical approach. The combination of precision and strategic thinking makes this game a demanding challenge for players of all levels.
After years of efforts to satisfy the high standards of the author we are pleased to offer this long-awaited translation into English.
The discipline of Three-Cushion, considered by many to be the highest form of carom billiards, is explained, analyzed and discussed in great depth, supported by more than 800 graphic illustrations.
The book can serve as a training guide for the novice, as well as a reference manual for the advanced player. It addresses all elementary components of the game, and also presents innovative solutions to difficult positions.
Sound technical advice is offered, and intelligent sport psychology is discussed, combining in a work designed to improve every serious three-cushion player’s game.

Volume 2 out of 3 volumes of the book series Ducking Kisses in Three-Cushion Billiards deals with the many problems with kisses and respective solution strategies in the pattern „Double Around“. Especially when playing via four up to seven rails as it is the case in double around solutions, several crossings of the paths of B 1 and B 2 are generated which must exactly be planned ahead. In numerous diagrams the problem is shown first and then the respective solution strategies are presented. The patterns in this book are divided in chapters with related problems of kissing. After the single chapters the already learned strategies can be used in several example positions. Additionally, after each group of patterns there is a chapter with application examples.
