French billiards originated in France, also known as Caron billiards, which means hitting two balls in a row, that is, touching two balls with the main ball in a row, which is the most basic requirement of French billiards. The main difference between English billiards and American billiards tables is that there is no net bag. There are many kinds of Caron billiards competitions, the most important of which is Trilateral Caron billiards.
Kailun billiards
Karen billiards originated in France, but it is very popular in Japan. It is called "Japanese Impact Billiards" and is one of the international competitions. Karen's table for billiards has no pockets. This is a billiards game with a cue to score points. This billiard game is rarely seen in some billiard halls in China. Karen billiards can be divided into four styles: star opening, three-star opening, four-ball opening, straight opening, table opening and so on, but the most popular one is four-ball opening.
The "four-ball start" has four balls, two red balls and two white balls, and the two white balls are the main balls of both sides in the game. The old rule scoring method is: the main ball hits two or more balls before it can have the right to hit the ball. The home ball scored 2 points when it hit a red ball and a white ball; Play "double red" on the home ball and get 3 points; The home ball is "double red", and a white ball gets 5 points. This binary system, three-point system and five-point system were commonly used in the past. However, the new rules all adopt the scoring system of 1. As long as you touch two of the three target balls, you can get 1, which eliminates the scoring gap caused by ball configuration and is relatively simple to calculate.
The result of the game depends on who gets the agreed score first. Therefore, when we get the right to hit the ball, we must try our best to get more points. Because the ball used in the "four-ball opening" is slightly heavier, the club is thicker than other types of clubs.
At the beginning of the "four-ball tee-off", there are two red balls between two white balls, and the four balls are in the same straight line.
The ball is placed on the table, and each side hits an empty pole to the end, which determines the batting order. Players with the ball near the bottom get the option; You can also draw lots to decide the options. On the kick-off side, the white ball with black spots is the main ball, and on the other side, the all-white ball is the main ball. According to the rules, the opponent's main ball can be his own target ball.
According to the rules, the first tee shot must first hit the opponent's white ball, otherwise it will be judged as a mistake and the right to hit the ball will be exchanged. Because the initial swing ball is that there are two red balls between the main ball and the white ball, and the four balls are in a straight line. So the kickoff side usually hits the table, hits two balls (that is, hits two tables), lets the main ball hit the table, and then hits two balls.
In the "four-ball opening" style of play, the role of the table edge is very great. If you can't hit the ball in a straight line, you should try to hit it once, twice, three times or even many times to achieve the goal of playing double balls. There are many similarities between hitting skills and three-sided Karom billiards.
