The object of the game is to score cushion caroms, meaning a carom off of both object balls with at least one rail cushion being struck before the hit on the second object ball.

One-cushion carom is still popular in Europe. In three-cushion carom, the object is to carom off both object balls with at least three rail cushions being contacted before the contact of the cue ball with the second object ball.

Three-cushion is a very difficult game. Averaging one point per inning is professional-level play, and averaging 1. Wayman C. McCreery of St.

Louis, Missouri , is credited with popularizing the game in the s. Louis, with McCreery a participant and Leon Magnus the winner.

The high run for the tournament was just 6 points, and the high average a 0. On September 22, , Willie Hoppe , the world's balkline champion who later took up three-cushion with a passion , and Ralph Greenleaf , the world's straight pool title holder, played a well advertised, multi-day, match to points.

Hoppe was the eventual winner with a final score in of — Three-cushion billiards retains great popularity in parts of Europe, Asia, and Latin America, [1] and is the most popular carom billiards game played in the US today, where pool is far more widespread.

It had been staging world three-cushion championships since the late s. In artistic billiards players compete at performing 76 preset shots of varying difficulty.

Each set shot has a maximum point value assigned for perfect execution, ranging from a 4-point minimum for lowest level difficulty shots, and climbing to an point maximum for shots deemed highest in difficulty level.

There is a total of points available to a player. Each shot in an artistic billiards match is played from a well-defined position in some venues within an exacting two millimeter tolerance , and each shot must unfold in an established manner.

Players are allowed three attempts at each shot. In general, the shots making up the game, even 4-point shots, require a high degree of skill, devoted practice and specialized knowledge to perform.

World title competition first started in and required the use of ivory balls. However, this requirement was dropped in Without proper care, the surface of the tip can develop an undesired smoothness or glossiness which can significantly reduce the desired friction between the tip and the cue ball.

Cue chalk is applied to the tip of the cue, ideally after every other shot or so, to help achieve the desired friction and minimize the chance of a miscue.

This is especially important when the cue tip does not hit the cue ball in its center and thereby imparts spin to the cue ball.

There are different grades of hardness for tips, ranging from very soft to very hard. Harder tips major brands include Blue Diamond Plus, Triangle and Le Professional or "Le Pro" maintain their shape much better, but because of their hardness, chalk tends to not hold as well as it does on softer tips.

The hardness of a leather tip is determined from its compression and tanning during the manufacturing process. All cue tips once were of a one-piece construction, as are many today including LePro and Triangle.

More recently some tips are made of layers that are laminated together major brands include Moori and Talisman.

Harder tips and laminated tips hold their shape better than softer tips and one-piece tips. Laminated tips generally cost more than one-piece tips due to their more extensive manufacturing process.

A potential problem with layered tips is delamination, where a layer begins to separate from another or the tip completely comes apart. One-piece tips are not subject to this problem, but they do tend to mushroom more easily.

The end of the shaft has a cuff known as the ferrule which is used to hold the cue tip in place and to bear the brunt of impact with the cue ball so that the less resilient shaft wood does not split.

Tips for break and jump cues are usually nickel radius or even flatter, and sometimes made of harder materials such as phenolic resin; the shots are forceful, and usually require less spin.

A leather tip naturally compresses and hardens with subsequent shots. Without proper care, the surface of the tip can develop an undesired smoothness or glossiness which can significantly reduce the desired friction between the tip and the cue ball.

A potential problem with layered tips is delamination, where a layer begins to separate from another or the tip completely comes apart.

One-piece tips are not subject to this problem, but they do tend to mushroom more easily. These days there are synthetic, faux -leather or even rubber cue tips available that have similar playing characteristics to animal-hide tips.

Often these are less affected by moisture and humidity than leather tips, tend less to bulge and mis-shapen, and are suitable substitutes for the average player.

The end of the shaft has a cuff known as the ferrule, which is used to hold the cue tip in place and to bear the brunt of impact with the cue ball so that the less resilient shaft wood does not split.

Ferrules are no longer made of ivory, but, rather, are now made of carbon fiber, or a plastic such as melamine resin , or phenolic resin , which are extremely durable, high-impact materials that are resistant to cracking, chipping, and breaking.

Brass ferrules are sometimes used, especially for snooker cues. The heavy, lower piece of the cue is the cue butt, and the smaller, narrower end is the shaft.

The two cue pieces are attached at the joint; normally a screw rising from butt end's joint male is threaded into a receptacle on the shaft female , or vice versa.

The joints are made of various materials, most frequently a plastic, brass , stainless steel , or wood outer layer, but some custom cues are made of bone, antlers, or other more expensive materials that are less common, but serve the same effect.

Most snooker cues have brass-to-brass joints. The internal male and female connection points are almost always brass or steel because they respond less to temperature changes and thus expand and contract less than other materials, preserving the life of the cue.

Joints have different sizes as well as different male and female ends on the shaft and butts of the cues.

Traditional designs employ a fully threaded connection, while newer versions marketed under such names as Uni-loc, Accu-loc, Speed-loc, and Tru-loc employ half-threaded "quick pin release" connections that allow players to assemble and disassemble their cues faster.
