What is a "carom"?
A carom is a shot in billiards where the cue ball strikes two object balls in a single stroke. The goal is to make the cue ball hit both object balls, typically in a specific order or pattern. Caroms are the basis of games like carom billiards, where players earn points by successfully completing these types of shots. The challenge is to control the cue ball’s path accurately to hit both object balls, requiring skill and precision. Caroms can be made directly or with the help of cushions, depending on the specific rules of the game.
