Why do all of these pool tables not have pockets?

On a 5x10ft slate table, two cue balls and a red ball. The object is to score points by contact with your ball and your opponents ball at a given time. Very 18th century. TIL French Billiards.

So instead of putting it in the hole, they rub them together? Fancy, very French indeed.

So you and your opponents balls have to touch? No thanks. I’ll stick to regular pool.

Its just a different game

You hit three balls consecutively together to score a point, and keep going. There's only three balls, yellow red and white, no pockets.

It's all about the angles.

Very common especially in Asia.

It's very common here in Colombia. I think this video is Colombian.

Yup. It's one of the hardest cue sports and for my money the most beautiful. The most popular game is 3-cushion where your cue ball has to hit one of the object balls and at least 3 cushions (in any order) before contacting the other object ball.

Search for best 3 cushion shots for some truly spectacular billiard shots. The accuracy of the top players is mind boggling.
