Mostly about carrom, this fantastic indian game i felt in love when i was a child... Since these old times; i had the chance to participate in so many Nationals, Europeans and International tournaments; and witness many of the best players in the world. You'll see many highlights of so many games i recorded in India, Maldives, Korea, Eurocups and France as well. I've been now 5 times European Champion in Singles, 8 times National French Champion and 2 times 3rd in World Cups with the french team. I hope you'll enjoy the channel and it's content !! There will be several videos of the african instrument called Kass kass or asalato, i really apreciate as well.
@@allfrombehind2345 this was just an experimental tournament in 2006 called world series of carrom on ESPN. We had to announce which coin we were playing with the numbers, and the rules were adapted for the tv show (4 boards only) with a "power play" , a kind of joker to double the points of that board.
*Carrom Gyaan* A locking grip is most important to keeping your striker stable and your aim effortlessly flawless. You cannot get a very high accuracy without keeping the striker stable and your striking finger on a predictable action path every single time. I use the middle finger, gives a lot of power, but since I only lock my middle finger with the thumb, it’s not very effective for very high accuracy. Almost all international player use the index finger to strike. And all of them use a locking grip. Some aspects of a locking grip: - the striking index finger is locked behind thumb and/or a combination of middle, ring, little fingers - There is a very small gap between the locked index finger and the striker (5mm) - The releasing force in the striking index finger comes by opposing it with other fingers locking it - Use of non-locking fingers like the index finger or middle finger to stabilise the striker or point out before striking is common. For e.g Prashant More points out the middle finger but others like K Srinivas just use it to stabilise the striker. - Before gripping the striking finger you would have already fixed the striking point on the coin and visualised the striker path before it strikes the coin. The grip lasts for a few seconds (2-3) only. - If you don’t “feel” the above, stop your routine, pull the striker out and try it again - Gripping should be comfortable for you, and you can vary it to your suitability - Your body, head, feet all should be aligned according to the direction of the aim. - Many players also vary their grip according to the shot. For example Bomb shots typically lock less. See this excellent and very artfully done video from Pierre Dubois explaining this crucial technique meticulously!
@@4pankajpawar hi, this lamp is easy to find in Europe, in Ikea shop for example, described as an architect lamp. It costs between 10 to 20€ in France.
17:58 What do you even call this giga combo shot 🤯? Double Glance Cross Double Deep Cut Reverse Double 😱 Pocketed 2 extremely difficult coins and nearly pocketed an impossible one!!! Certainly won that difficult frame 😅
@@alokbisani thanks, yes it's a kind of glance but with the aim to double the first coin touched, and hook after that. So maybe Double-Glance-Hook combination 😅
@@rikuwijewickrama2698 thanks 😇 Total might be around 10.000 hours, because I don't play regularly now...but from 2002 to 2006 I was playing 35h per week.
thanks for the video friend, iv have just started learning about the game and was excited to watch this, but now i v come away with knowledge on the game Carrom, and the need/want to learn how to juggle and play them interment things 🤣 so i guess thank you for that as well
I fail to understand why thumbing is allowed at this high platforms,, can't these experts hit rebound shots!!?? 😳😳are they incapable?? it is kids who are desperate to pocket,, and resort to thumbing,, &many a player puts striker at half ring position!😳😳what purpose those rings are drawn when this is allowed!!?? 😳😳
Bonjour Pierre, never seen or heard of this game before but this video was in my recommendations and I sure enjored it! Have you gone on to win a world championship since? Do you still play competitions?
@@RobJaskula bonjour ! This game is really interesting and requires lots of control and strategy to play at a high level. That particular tournament was a bit different from all the other ones we play, regarding the rules, the coins we had to announce, the points and so on. Since 2006, I have been 6 times Europe champion, 4 times runner-up, and we came 2 times 3rd in team event in international tournaments with the french team. In singles in worldcups, I came once 8th in the main event, and once 5th in the mixed open called Swiss system. I had nice successes against top Indian, SriLankan, Bangladeshi, Maldivian players who are definitely the top 4 best countries in carrom. I never reached a semi-final yet in such tournaments, and I know it will be tough, those players are professionals and paid to perform, it's not my case. And recently the french federation decided that I won't be part of the french team anymore, because I live in an outside department in Reunion island, so I can't be ranked with all the tournaments in France. I hope you'll have a chance to discover this game one day, it's really a great game 🤗
