The origin of carrom game is yet unclear. It is well-liked in Asia and is played well with family and friends. It is a game of fun and rules are set aside to a minimum. In the early days there were actually no written rules and it was all hand written down by word of mouth. All games must be played with the only motive of enjoyment. As with all other games the part of contest creeps in. You desire to show that you are better than the other person in playing the game. However, if you are the loser all the time then you lose importance of carrom.
In the UK, Carrom has recently started to gain popularity and competitions are taking place at all levels. To a greater extent rules are being introduced like setting time limits among shots; not talking to your challenger in case you put them off; not being clever to stand up during a game to extend your legs; not being able to shout and leap in the air when you are unbeaten after a tricky shot etc. Adjust your move toward to the game depending on whether you are in a contest or playing for fun amongst friends. There are different ways of flicking the striker with one of your fingers. Try all of them and then choose the technique, which suits you the best. You might find later on that shifting your style might perk up on your accuracy.
Regardless of which technique you select two things are important. The first is stable your striking pass on the carom gear board with the base/edge of your palm, and/or thumb, and/or non-striking fingers. This makes sure that the striker is flicked and not pushed. The other thing is to confirm your striking finger is as close as you could to the striker, touching it if possible. This has the outcome of pushing the striker without affecting your finger. If your finger is a far away from the striker, when you flick it your nail will hit the striker that could simply cause pain in your finger. If you get more pain than pleasure from this game I don't think you should desire to continue playing, otherwise it is the most brilliant game to be played for fun.
