Different Way of Carrom board Playing Techniques

Almost certainly the most vital face of a player’s game is their grip. Having a right grip is vital for maintaining reliability and correctness in ones stroke. Here we will look at few of the basic grip configurations and discuss their pros and cons.

carrom

The Straight Grip:
For the direct grip, the hand is held palm side down, with the fingertips latent evenly on the carrom board. The wrist rests on the border of the board game. The shot is made by the index finger (or at times the middle finger) with an easy frontward push of the finger. A lot of players find that in case they hold the striker amid the thumb and third finger (as shown in photo), and let go the striker as they are making the stroke, it adds good control and improved accuracy to their shot.

A general fault made by beginners is to cock their index finger at the back of the tip of the thumb, and then let go the finger forcefully, smacking the striker with the tip of their finger. This can have a aching result, and more prominently, it is damn tough to maintain correctness when making the shot in this style. An additional improved approach is to rest the index finger slightly on the carrom board, directly at the back and simply touching the striker, and to make the shot with a light push of the finger, as opposed to a strike. This approach will lead in far better correctness and a more lovely experience of the game.

The Scissor Grip:
This grip is best comprehended by looking at the photograph at right. In the scissor grip, the stroke is made by the middle finger, which is laid plane on the carrom board, vertical to the intended path of the striker. The index finger rests atop the middle finger, holding it behind until the moment of release, which gives a snap that can make great power when done correctly. Consequently, a lot of players who use the straight grip for their usual shots are called to use the scissor grip at the time of breaking.

The benefit of the scissor grip, in addition to the augmented power, is (at least in theory) that the finger, at the time of resting at right-angles to the path of the shot, more possibly, in the arc of it’s stroke, to propel the striker in the accurate direction. One can picture, for instance, that when making a shot with the straight grip, the striker might be inclined to roll off one side of the fingernail or the other, because of the roundness of the nail.
