Carrom Tips
- Pocket the queen early when she is open, but only if you can cover her next shot.
- Use the rebound. Banking the striker off the opposite cushion reaches coins you cannot hit directly.
- Low power beats high power for precision shots near pockets.
- Break up clusters when you have no clean pot so your next turn has options.
- Guard your coins near pockets; opponents can pocket them to gain tempo in freestyle.
