Types of billiard games

Billiard games can be largely divided into a carom game and a pocket game. A callum game is a form of playing on a billiard table without a pocket, and a pocket game is a form of playing on a billiard table with a pocket open. Previously, Callum Billiard was more popular, but now pocket games are surpassing the popularity of callum games in Europe, Japan, and Taiwan, not to mention the United States. As a kind of pocket game, there is a snooker game 무료스포츠중계 that is popular in the UK.

Billiard table

There are many different types of billiard tables. There are three types of billiard tables: a platoon, a company, and a battalion. Currently, what is widely distributed in Korea is a company. The company is 2540 mm wide and 1270 mm long, and the battalion, the international standard Callum billiard table, is 2844.8 mm wide and 1422.4 mm long.

The pocket billiard table is the same size as the company's Callum billiard table. Previously, it was the same size as the large-calum billiard table and had a smaller pocket, but it is now the current standard for easier scoring. The snooker billiard table is about 90 centimeters longer in width than an ordinary pocket billiard table.

The floor of the table is made of three slates, covered with billiard paper (Lasa), and equipped with a frame. Inside the frame is a triangular rubber cushion to allow the ball to hit and rebound.

On the outside of the billiard table, a mark called a diamond is attached at the point where the long cushion is divided into eight and the short cushion is divided into four. Since the aspect ratio of the table is exactly 2:1, the spacing of any diamond is the same.

Home billiard tables can be easily purchased and installed at billiard material suppliers. Of course, it costs a considerable amount of money, but considering that a billiard table once installed can be used for a lifetime, it is perfect for those who can afford to bring the billiard table in their home and enjoy it with their family, relatives, and friends.

Cue

A typical cue stand measures 137-147 centimeters and weighs between 450 and 650 grams. The most important part of choosing a cue stand is to choose one that is not curved. Choose a cue stand that can be separated from the middle so that you don't poke people while carrying a cue stand. The cue stand varies considerably in value depending on the material.

Although having a personal cue stand allows you to hit the ball more stably, it does not significantly affect the shutdown technology. The quality of play is determined by the tip rather than the cue stand. If you give Raymond Kulmand a good tip, he shuts down a lot.

It is possible to use only one cue in your lifetime. In order to do that, don't put it in boiling water or in the trunk of your car to freeze it. You can't keep it against a wall for years. Even if you lose the game unlucky enough, don't hit it on the floor. Don't fight your opponent with the cue stick. Don't poke anything except the ball in cue. Let's feed them roasted chestnuts when young children touch the cue. Let's not let relatives, neighbors, and pets touch it.

If the cu-dae is dirty or your hands are sweaty, the cu-dae doesn't move smoothly. In that case, the powder should be applied between your thumb and index finger. Don't apply too much flour to make the table floor white. When the cu-dae gets tight, wipe it with a wet cloth, dry it completely, and wash it thoroughly if your hands are dirty. If your hands are still sweating, keep a dry towel close by. If necessary, rub the cu-dae with a scotch bright light. This removes lubricating oil or other impurities from the cu-dae, and continuing to use it won't make the cu-dae as thin as a toothpick. Alternatively, you can use sandpaper.

Tip

The tip is made of leather, so it doesn't slip when it comes into contact with the ball. Usually billiards players prefer hard tips to flexible tips. However, the hard tip should be roughened occasionally to ensure that the choke powder applies well. The shape and outline of the tip are very important factors. There is no excuse for the poor shape because it only takes about a minute to trim the tip. If the tip diameter exactly matches the tip end of the cue, it will have longer tip life and you may play better. The tip edges should not protrude at all. If they stick out, keep the cue upside down on the floor, press them, and then trim the protruding areas with a knife. Then trim the cut with a rope. To make the tip edges firm and glossy, first dampen the tip, wrap it around the tip with a paper matchbox or leather, and rub it up and down quickly.

Let's not use flat tips. Trim these tips with strings. It takes time to attach the tip to the cue, but it's not difficult. The tip is relatively cheap, so it's good to use a good product. When attaching new tips, remove dry glue and other foreign substances from the end of the cue with a knife and sandpaper. The flat part of the sacrum should be flat, so it should not be rounded. Choose the tip that is slightly larger or the same as the sacrum. Apply a thin layer of strong adhesive to the sacrum and tip. Press with your thumb until it fits into place, keeping the tip centered on the sacrum. Next, place the cue vertically around the corner with the tip upside down so that it touches the floor. Wake up early the next morning to trim the sticking out of the tip and outline the rounded shape.

New tips will flatten while playing and will need to be trimmed again. Also, the tip may become too hard and shiny, so the choke may not smudge very well, so you may need to rough it with a string.

Ball

Because elephants are in the process of extinction, the balls are no longer made of ivory. The ball for carum games is set at 61.5 mm in diameter, 57.1 mm for pocket games, and 52.4 mm for snooker games. The ball weighs about 230 g for carum games and 170 g for pocket games. In pocket games, a single water polo and a red ball marked with numbers from 1 to 15 are used.

The 65.5mm diameter ball, which is currently widely distributed in Korea, is a strange ball that cannot be found in other countries and is only found in Korea. Perhaps it was designed to make scoring easier in a four-ball game, but the ball is large, so it does not roll well and can only put strength into it. The standard ball is a little smaller in diameter, so the scoring target is reduced, but it spins well and rolls far, so it doesn't require much effort in the game. It is especially suitable for games that require long distances, such as three-cushions. Therefore, we urgently need to replace all the balls with standard balls. When billiards were first available, balls with a diameter of 69mm were used in Japan, but now they are all gone. Please note that there is also a billiard room that is currently operated only with 61.5mm balls.

Chalk

Applying choke increases the frictional force between the tip and the water polo. If the tip has not been painted with a choke, you can't give it a spin exactly. To say that you have to apply choke every time you hit the ball is not absurd. When applying choke, you have to turn the cue stick in the choke and shake it left and right without making a hole. After applying the choke, check that the choke is completely smeared, and if not, apply it again by brushing. To deliberately get on the opponent's nerves, he turns around the billiard table and puts the choke so that he can pick it up. If there is only one choke, put the choke in your pocket while pretending to be stupid. It is a trick to miss the shutdown because the opponent does not apply the choke.

One habit that annoys players is putting the choke upside down. That way, the choke powder gets on Lhasa and the player's hands and clothes. Therefore, the choke always has the open side up. Otherwise, people criticize me as a careless person in everything.

There is also a clause in billiard etiquette that states that people who have just finished playing should not pick up a choke. Because this is the time when the opponent picks up the choke.

Not all chocs are good. Good chocs are hard and fine in powder. Also, good chocs are more expensive than rough chocs, but they don't make much of a difference.

Stance

There is no right posture. When bending over a billiard table to shut down, some of your weight is carried on your left leg, some on your right leg, and some on your left hand that you bridge. The percentage of weight that depends on the placement of your legs, arms, and head. Some athletes keep both knees straight and legs spread out, while others bend their legs together and knees bent. Perhaps you will be most comfortable shutting down by bending your left leg a little so that most of your weight is put forward. While some do it while keeping your upper body very low, some do it with your chin almost touching the cue stand. Snooker players, who must perform sharp shutters like an awl, all adopt the latter position. So, the more elaborate the shut down, the more you conclude that you have to bend your upper body. Once the posture is fixed, the same posture should be taken for all shutoffs. The left arm should be stretched out in a straight line.

Grip: How to grip a cue stick

Again, there is no such thing as a proper grip. Some players use their thumb and all other fingers to clasp the cue stick tightly, while others use only their thumb and index finger to make a powerful shut. Some cheeky individuals use their teaspoon to gently clench their fingers.

The position of the right hand should vary slightly depending on the shot. In soft shutters that require maximum accuracy for speed or twisting, that is, 'touch' or 'sense' is important, move the right hand in front of the cue stand and place it a few inches back from the center point. In shutters that require maximum speed, place the right hand behind the cue stand. In most shutters, the right hand is placed 6-8 inches back from the center point.

Bridge

If you place the cue stand on a groove formed by your thumb and index finger (open bridge or V bridge), you can see the cue stand better than you can (open bridge or V bridge) and it is an appropriate bridge for weak hitting without twisting. However, the best bridge to give a spin is to hold the cue stand.

If you don't know how to do the bridge properly, you will never be out of the novice class. Even in a difficult position, know that there is only one bridge that works best.

If it can be shut down with the left hand, there is no need to use a mechanical bridge, which is a great advantage in difficult positions. Using a mechanical bridge makes preliminary cue difficult and it is difficult to accurately control the speed and twisting.

Stroke

Before bending down, hit a certain point of the pitch and decide how to twist and speed the water polo to go out correctly. If you make a significant change after bending down, raise your body again and start from scratch.

Set the line of sight, then fix the position and bridge it firmly. Place the head directly over the cue stand.

Do a preliminary cue twice to see how fast the cue comes forward. Once the speed and spin are determined correctly, do a few more preliminary cues with the aim line in mind. When you think you can hit the target correctly, add a preliminary cue once or twice, pull the trigger in a straight line, then look straight ahead and leave your hands on the table floor for 1-2 seconds.

Some good batting becomes instinctive and some becomes teaching. If you think you still have room for improvement, let's study good players. It's even better if you can be taught by them. Here is a list of shut-down checks.

1. Determine the shutdown before bending over.
2. When hitting lightly, place your left hand near the water polo and hold the cue stand further forward.
3. Put the Q-tip close to the water polo and hit the exact spot.
4. Secure the bridge.
5. Always keep the cue stand as level as possible with the floor unless the water polo curves or lets it jump.
6. Don't rush and do the reserve cue slowly and gently.
7. Do at least three preliminary quizzes.
8. When performing preliminary cueing, move the cue stick back and forth with the cue tip in close contact with the water polo and bridged hands.
9. After the final aim is achieved, even if you close your eyes and hit them, there should be little difference from when you open your eyes.
10. After shuffling, extend forward beyond the length of pulling the cue back.
11. Keep the Q-tip to one side while extending the Q-tip.
12. The more elaborate the shut, the more bent the body.
13. The moment you hit the ball, you stop moving all parts of your body except your right arm. Do not let your body lean forward after hitting the ball.
14. After batting, he does not take his hands off the table until he is done stretching the cue sufficiently, and does not let the cue leave his hands.
15. He thinks that the ball goes the way to scoring by himself, not by human power.
16. Ask your friend to evaluate your posture, bridge, batting, cue stretch, etc.
17. When the shutdown fails, don't be offended and step off the table.
18. When you lose the game, let's praise the other person for not losing because you did it wrong, but because the opponent did well.

Mental posture

Mental posture and concentration are a big part of winning and losing games. When you feel pressure to win, it is a big advantage. Always have confidence. Always have the idea that you are the best player. When your turn comes, I'm sure you can control every situation without hesitating. I think I'm very close to a choke or a cue.

Once you've conceived the shutdown, you hit the ball violently and explosively. Always have the belief that you can succeed in the shutdown.

Controlling the mental state is just as important as controlling the ball. It shuts down quietly and powerfully in the state of selflessness, conscious of only the ball, without being conscious of the opponent.
