If you are fortunate enough to be in New York at the right moment any summer, you have a chance to visit Carom Cafe. The tournament is the closest thing we have to a World Cup - until we (hopefully) once again have one - and our one chance to bring the world's best three cushion players to the US to play. Yet there is one event in this country that continues an international tradition - The Verhoeven Open. And the USBA tournament calendar, with events having a large enough prize fund to attract international talent, is slim to almost non-existent. We have not held a World Cup event here in the United States for many years. International players rarely make it to the USA.

This makes the raw material to be about 4 inch. The most solid wood pin you will have when shaft and pin are out of 1 piece of wood. When it goes about playability I think there may be differences in hit or feedback, but not more.Īn advantage of an external thread system like used in most pool cues I see in the wood length that's needed for the shaft. But with today's available glues and techniques the differences maybe small. And the pool pins may have originated from the idea of cutting a onepiece-cue into two halfs and joining it together with an external, additional thread. Maybe in earlier years this could have been a reason for having wood pins at carom cues that have to take more dynamic load than a pool cue, especially at 3cushion. These combinations are connected by threads and glues, and all connections have potential to loosen sometime. All other pins like you see in pool cues are in principle made from a combination of different materials. I could imagine that a pure wood pin is the easiest way of having a stabil and durable joint.
