I tried to explain as much as i could; how to get a clean locking grip. I hope the video won't be too long, and will be usefull for all the players who asked me for this tutorial ;-) Music from www.bensound .com
I'm glad I found your tutorial. Since I'm a complete beginner I was hoping to learn everything the correct way right from the start. 😀You are the best.
Hi Pierre. Madhu here from Chennai. At @01:00, I had an opportunity to learn this technique ( when I was a kid), taught by 'Bangaru Babu' (considered as father of Carrom by many in India). He had asked everyone to stand, raise our playing hand in front of us at 90 degrees( like taking an Oath) and then crumple the newspaper using fingers alone. It was very effective then to play our shots well.
Wow !! thanks for your experience returns !! I know Sir Bangaru Babu, we met several times in International tournaments. Maybe this news papers technique come from him; and i heard it somewhere. I hope you're still playing and enjoying the game !!
@@seyeah1 I had an opportunity to attend a training when I was about 24. Now I am 36, with a full time job which took precedence 🙂. I recently had an opportunity to interact with you on youtube. Remember 'carrom de club' 🙂. I have started to prepare for competitive level over the last 4 months, with an aim to prove my potential within 2 years. Hopefully our future paths will cross each other 🙂
@@seyeah1 No doubt I still am enjoying the game. My achievements though, are at a very low level compared to competitive levels 😇. I won 2 years straight when I was in school and a year back, was the winner at my intra-company tournament 🙂🙂. There came the spark back to me! Not everyone makes it to the competitive level like you 😉😊😊
It is a very nice video for beginners and regular players. I would add here that locking grip is a better option for beginners. For regular players, to change any grip (other than locking grip) to locking grip is not easy because they are not used to with this grip and all persons playing carrom have different sizes of fingers. One (regular player) has to work hard to adopt and stick to locking grip and wait for better results. Very well narration of different types of locking grips in this video. It will be useful to carrom players who will choose one of the locking grips. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience unselfishly with carrom fraternity.🙏
Thank you sir! Great educational video! You are the best teacher! You are truly helping thousands out there to improve their Carrom game. Much appreciated.
I had locking grip when i started but over the years i made changes. But i realize the fact that it gives u better control and adds power to our shot wherever necessary. As always great insights and very useful information provided.
Its quite interesting for me as Im a player who has only ever used the scissor grip and prefer thinner striker. Im from Mauritius btw. Carrom is quite popular here.
Strangest one man talent show I’ve ever seen at the start of this video lol I just found out about this game, have to figure out how to get me a board now. I might be obsessed!
Thanks for taking time and explaining in depth. Your dedication and passion towards carrom is always great. We all owe you a lot for everything you do for this game. Keep it up mate. Thanks a lot :)
True professional. I like the way you teach. Very detailed. Thank you. I have always played using my middle finger and I can say I am an average player. But I could not get better. I used to see other guys play using the pointer finger and I was just too lazy to start all over again switching fingers. After seeing this video i understood that it is possible to switch esp if there is experience and understanding of the geometric of the game, then all os required is a practice and patience. I have tried and am surprised at the outcome. Using focus patience and experience I am confident.
Thanks for your comment, I was also scared at first to change my grip after so many years playing with the middle finger, but really it was benefic to me. I trusted in Arun Deshpande's advice and he was right, even if it took me several years to become again European Champion, it was a good decision. All the best to you for your improvements with the index finger grip
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

Hi Pierre. Great video:) I'm planning to buy a new carrom board. The one I currently have is a surco champion carrom board. Which one would you suggest me to buy now? Awaiting for your reply. Thanks!
Hello, I have searched all internet, but don’t know what is the logic behind the semi circle arrows, and the design on the carrom board. Any chance you could explain please?
Hello Pierre, I have a cheap but new carrom, but it doesn't slide! Can you please tell me how to use the Powder to make it smooth? (I bought WTC powered but don't dare .... Fear if putting too much or too little and therefore damage the board!!) Thank you for your help 🙏 Wishing you a great year ❣️
Hi Pierre. Madhu here from Chennai. One query. What steps do you do to improve your game on a monthly basis? Do you have anyone who watches you while playing ( or at least recordings) and helps in correcting few strategies? If not, I would strongly suggest for the same as I feel you could still reacher better heights,with your game play 👍
Thanks, no, nobody correcting my game, no coach. I'm playing more for fun now, trying to understand champions startegy that's all... but i have ups and downs in my level...now i hurted a finger while doing skateboard, so it's a bad phaze for carrom. Now i'm mostly practicing with online carrom different rules with some friends in small groups, live on facebook. But i planned to re-build this channel with a friend who is much better than me in editing and communication, let's see !! Thanks for your encouragments
I am Rammohan from Hyderabad. Hi pieri it is a Good video .l am generally good at pocketing coins . But at times I face with the problem of being unable to release the striker And missing the point of contact after releasing .Please tell me the remedy .
Hi Sir, if you concentrate fully on the point of contact, and make the aiming routine correctly, with good practice you should be able to release striker with accuracy. Only practice can give bring you to full confidence...that's the main thing, that's why i'm also not enough confident nowadays, because not enough practice
Sir please tell me how to avoid slipping of Stricker sir I am using locking grip but even due to small powder my fingers starts slipping sir please tell me what should I do
In my videos, out from Asian tournaments, we are playing with potatoe starch powder; that's why it looks faster in this video. Which Carrom is better ? Difficult to say...maybe SYNCO Platinum, but Precise and Sisca are also very best Carrom Boards, and even Carrom Boards from Ayan Khna : MK Carrom Boards are very nicely finished. Hard to see a difference...
Hi , thank you Sir .. I bought strikers in different places in India, from Irfan Khan in Delhi, Ayan Khan in Mumbai, Ashraf Khan in Panvel... All Khans !!
@@srinurao570 hi, thanks ! This one is just a simple Champion Board from Synco, Brown frames, World Carrom Tour deposit trademark from Carrom Art. You can ask directly to Synco if you want one like this.
