Is carom a gentile mans sport?

What you mean by gentile man? Carom is not so popular in some countries like USa but it is extremely popular in many asian countries. It demands strategy and skills to be good at carom. My american friend was laughing at badminton but when he saw a tournament, he realized that a good player can practically kill him at will. I taught him to play badminton so that I can saw him that it's not only tennis that is so competitive. Carom is the same. If you mean carom is for a sissy then think again.
