Filmpjes over Vrijspel - Movies about Straight Rail

Summary of the Belgian Championships Billiards 2015 : http://vimeo.com/117398362
 
Straight rail forms the basis of all carom billiards disciplines. Derivates like balkline and three-cushion billiards were invented to increase the difficulty of the game and at the same time make it more attractive for the spectator. This could lead to the false conclusion that straight rail is easy to master. In order to grasp the basics of the game take a look at these movies of one of the all time grandmasters of the game, the French Roger Conti. These movies contain some hidden gems which will take you some time to discover, challenging your patience. Let this virtue be the one you'll need most in order to excell in this game, in other words a very good exercise :-). Good things come slowly. These movies are in French.
