Top Spanish Player Makes Hard Shots Look Easy!
Not every position that comes up in 3-cushion billiards can be solved with a system or some theory. That's why we thank our friend Jaime Sanchez Faraco for producing a terrific video with practical solutions to bad positions, especially with one or more balls stuck on a rail.
Even when one of these positions produces the usual discomfort and difficulty in one of your games, Jaime's ideas could save that point for you. But remember... Jaime is an elite player and has for many years been at the top of the Spanish national ranking. What he makes seem easy in the video, may require many hours of practice. So good luck and good billiards.
