I've watched this at least 20 times and it never gets old. The perfection over such a variety of shots, all strung together, is magical. Thinking back to 2000 when averages were 1.2-1.5 (that range anyway), it is amazing how the game has matured. I realize we're talking about Caudron here, born with table game genius, but even his carom game has elevated spectacularly over the decades. More tournaments in the USA and more paying fans.
As a once semi-serious player I've experienced the groove when you just see the angles perfectly in your mind's eye -- and then almost nothing seems impossible -- from feathering the object ball at table's length so as to create an angle that really isn't there -- to hammering a 7 rail force-follow shot. And, I believe, only a billiards player can appreciate the incredible skills that come in to the fore in those times. Not even golf (my favorite sport) can touch billiards when it comes to finesse, delicacy and creativity. When I was a kid (60 years ago) playing my best, Willie Hoppe had the record at 25; and that stood for years. (I ran 18 a few times.) I honestly believe the balls are truer today than they used to be and that they roll further now. -- But, YES! -- Today the players are better too -- way better than we ever were.
Equipment is better, the cloth, tables, cues, tips, chalk, balls, treatment and cleaning of the tables, ... the list goes on; everything is better. Also, there exists now shots and techniques that just weren't even imagined yet back then. But yes, three-cushion billiards is incomparable to any other sport in terms of difficulty, complication, and I would say esthetics. My "record" is 13, so I am nothing in this sport. But there are times when I do some incredible shot, all watching and myself included get some weird kind of a satisfaction that is impossible to replicate in any other sport, not even a hole-in-one fluke in golf. PS: Would love to see a video of your seven rail force follow shot. Peace.
Very nice comments in here guys ! I would maybe stick Tennis in there as far as control of the ball,…you know….topspin, Stun, soft touches, heavy touches- backspin, drop shots and flicks and trajectory/ behaviour of the ball On a personal level, the thrill and satisfaction of a single one-handed sizzling backhand down the line winner ..equals to the satisfaction of executing a beautiful carambola’s high difficulty shot or trick shot Satisfying to watch and to execute It’s a sport where you can be good at it, but you can also be so creative with it, and that’s another similarity with Tennis 3C billiards is, for me, A mixture of the most traditional and highest form of art on a table and in sport in general , mixed with real futuristic scientific feel. Imo it should be an Olympic sport ! . Bowls is….. Archery is…. Tennis is….. Curling s … Golf is …. Definitely the “Artistic” discipline should be considered and would be fun And more in tune with those other sports. As far as, you know, the 3 tries one gets per shot A lot of similarities there, in fact, 3C billiards is a conglomeration of all the skills on those sports ….and then some !! Anyhow, those other sports I mention …you can just be really good at the technique or have a very good style, but you still only Gotta do what you Gotta do that’s required in the game to achieve the final goal. But 3 cushion Billiards and Tennis ALSO allow you to do so in a standard routine way with different styles, but crucially, using genius and creativity and innate alien vision and touch, and come up with stuff out of this world, crazy and never seen before. Testament and profto this…is the fact that you can execute a shot in many different ways, but also there is a “trick shot” option as well ….again, massive similarities between the two sports And yes, good guess, I play both. ha ha ha ha And my dream is in fact to own a tennis club, with three blue tennis courts, with the clubhouse set in a way that there is three blue IIIc billiards tables right in the middle with bars around and seedings going up to the sides. Sort of semi theatre way / kind of split levels.
25 seriyi her oyuncu yapabilir belki ama caudron dan hızlı kimse yapamaz bence.adam hem cin gibi hem yetenekli hem de fazla bekletmeden ve asgari sürede vuruşunu yaparak oynuyor.bu yönüyle caudron u izlemek her zaman keyifli
Her oyuncu yapabilir mi? Ömrün boyunca oyna, 1 kere yaparsan gel buraya yaz :D Ve set sayısını almamış olsa belki de devam edecekti, 25 olmayabilir o seri.
Soy Fan del mejor jugador del mundo en la historia de este maravilloso deporte como lo es el billar a 3 bandas. Inolvidable esa gran final en el 2013 aca en Medellín contra otro fantástico Torbjorn Blomdahl en la cual se coronó campeón Caudron. Maravillosos jugadores.
con todo respeto pero he visto muchos videos de tres bandas y hay un vietnamita que cuando esta enchufado es sorprendente ya le gano una final a caudron . Quyết Chiến
@@7808joseph Claro que si, se de quién habla ud, pero a este muchacho le falta mucho rato y recorrido para alcanzar los títulos y el prestigio de esta leyenda viviente. Y otra leyenda que volvió a un gran nivel en este momento es Semih Sayginer.

That’s so funny I scroll down, and I find this comment, LOL On another comment on mine in here, Since the conversations were all in English, I was going to write that Coudron reminds me of the Scottish Higgins of Snooker, as far as maybe demeanour, experience, old school/classnc mixed with full knowledge and perfection in execution, and also the crazy stuff mixed in as well …if needed,
Correct. His skill is unparalleled. He’s definitely the favored to win every tournament he enters. I wish 3 cushion got the recognition it deserved. It’s a shame to see a tournament being played with so many empty seats. All the 3 cushion organizations need to do a better job at promoting. Back in the states, you can’t even find a 3 cushion table much less, find a tournament. I’m lucky enough to live close to carom cafe in Queens New York. But even that place resembles a mortuary. What a shame!!
increible !! tuve la suerte de verlo jugar en New York en 2006 , el torneo Sang Lee y no deja de asombrar con su juego impecable !!!Puis dans sa langue maternelle congratulations Frederic,toute une série , bravo !!!!

31 Ago 2019 Run de 25 De F. Caudron (Bélgica), lástima que no siguió para ver si rompía su propio record de 28 de 2013 compartido por otros 3 grandes Junichi Komori (Japón) 1993, Raymond Ceulemans (Bélgica)1998, Roland Forthomme (Bélgica) 2012. Al turco sólo le quedó aprender porque le hizo carambolas de todo tipo, sigue vigente el record con 28.
Si bien el partido era a 40 carambolas, hubiera sido interesante permitirle a Caudron que siguiera la tacada fuera de competición, por el mero hecho de buscar batir el récord mundial.
solo que no es permitido..de seguro el tuviera el récord mundial..y sin una pisca de soberbia ..termino con 25 en serie y ni una sola expresión de altanería de festejo .un caballero en la mesa y deporte de carambola..es un monstruo en las 3 bandas..por much el mejor del mundo a mi gusto..pero es un caballero en ese deporte .felicidades a Frédéric..
The 40 point barrier was the only reason that prevented Le Grande Maitre Caudron from continue and establish its own record. I can almost foresee that last cushion position was feasible for this great player to keep earing both points am history.
OMG that's insane, no way you're hooking this guy in regular pool game lol. I knew a guy that played 3 cushion and he did some fancy shots that surprised everyone since he knew the rails so well.
Böyle oynayabilmek için gerçekten çok çalışmak ve araştırmak gerekir.Bu oyun çaba sarf etmeden ortaya çıkmayacak olan bir beceridir.Tebrikler @ Frederic Caudron.
Hace poco ando viendo videos pero de todos les digo este es mi favorito ,.como no serlo con tantas 3 bandas de segidas además de su buen estilo y carisma el mejor para mi

Hello there thanks for the sharing!
Is a matter of evolution too. Past player average was lower than today. Only Raymond Ceulemans was ahead of his time..
This was a masterful performance.

Satisfying to watch and to execute
It’s a sport where you can be good at it, but you can also be so creative with it, and that’s another similarity with Tennis
3C billiards is, for me, A mixture of the most traditional and highest form of art on a table and in sport in general , mixed with real futuristic scientific feel.

Not much hesitation no matter what sort of shot he got..legendary player ever
사구 120을 치던 어린학생이 당구장에 걸린 쿠드롱의 사진 한장에 반해 3쿠션을 배워 20년을 넘게 오직 이 선수만을 동경하며 그의 자세와 스타일을 따라해왔다. 나는 지금 수지가 500이 되었다. 나의 영원한 우상 쿠드롱.
25 y ni un alarde eso te hace ser el mejor .humildad .serenidad.frialdad .temple de acero un mounstro
mejor no lo pudo decir y describir.
this guy is out of this world !! so many great shots one after the other. it's insane
As a guy with a measly run of five to my credit, I can't deny the greatness, but it does get easier with each point.
Unbelievable, Frederic is legend !
I like the way he makes the shots, fast and effective. Thanks for sharing

Runs like this is why we need to get him back into the UMB.

Caudron mãi là Caudron...chính xác trong từng nút số và kĩ thuật mềm mại trong từng cú ra cơ! Legend
Hi vọng khiêm lê khi thành tài ở 3 băng cũng sẽ đạt được trình độ này
Rất tiếc trọng tài không để cho ông ấy đánh đến hết cơ, kỉ lục thế giới hiện nay là 28 điểm. Cơ vừa rồi 25 mà bi vẫn còn khá đẹp...

3쿠션도 올타임넘버원 실력이지만 만약 보크라인, 원쿠션, 쓰리쿠션을 한 경기에 섞어서 플레이하는 경기가 만들어진다면
쿠드롱이 전 대회 우승할거임. 클루망 할아버지가 전성기 때 우승 싹쓸이 했던것처럼.
As an American pool player, lemme just say... That was sick.. A little bit of everything too..
O melhor jogador de todos os tempos.
Can be one of the satisfying video ive ever seen
He is the best player in the world
Dick Jaspers is the best player
carlos eduardo maldonado vera

Incredible and perfect 3 cushions play.
Mil gracias por compartir tus bastos conocimientos, tus explicaciones siempre claras y elocuentes 😊🙏
Una verdadera máquina, extraordinario éste belga,da mucho gusto verlo jugar 👍👍👍
World class,
There's nobody like him!! Many come close but he's the Messi of billiards
Then who is nr One if this guys is second. He must be insanely good
This game is far more difficult than 8 balls
Obviously but I still wondering if it's more difficult than snooker
Es un mounstro de la carambola no hay otro como él felicidades maestro
Amazing vision to see the possible shot then tremendous skill to execute under pressure in a competitive game 👏👏👏👏
Caudron makes it look so effortless.
대단한건 당연한듯 저렇게 칠수 있게끔 얼마나 많은 연구와 연습을 했을지 노력없이 절대 나올수 없는 실력이네요
Hallucinant ! Le summum de la géométrie appliquée !
