I didn't know the Cue Ball had a facebook page. I don't do it or twitter, so no big shock there.

3 cushion...to become proficient in that game is probably one of the toughest things to do in cue sports. A 10X5' table, no pockets. 3 balls, usually red, white, and yellow.
Balls a bit bigger and heavier than pool balls. The object of the game is what makes it tough. Hell, anybody can hit an object ball with a cue ball...but to have all three balls contacted with having to bounce off three rails? Well, you'd better be damned good at banking while having extreme knowledge of how English works.

Hit all 3 balls, one point. For someone to get 25 in a row is damned fine shooting.

Who is the best? Probably still a Turk name of Semih Sayginer. In an email, Evren reported seeing a new Mercedes with only 3 colored balls on the license plate.

A short video of Semih playing in the 2018 3 cushion world championship.
