I wonder how many times they hit each other on that head-to-head opposite corner shot :eek: Let alone how many tries they had to attempt.

For a hint, watch her throw her arms up in the air immediately after finally getting both to go.

For those that don't know, those balls barely fit in the pockets. That was quite the feat pulling off that shot!
 
I agree, amazing shots. A feat in itself to get the balls to skim that close to each other, let alone pocketing them at that distance.
 
Great shoots indeed. In the intro they claim that this type of shots were never done before, which is not true. Florian Kohler had many similar done on a pool table.
 
The shots are impressive especially due to the size of the table but as mentioned not completely original. Here is a page from Byrne's "Treasury of Trick Shots in Pool and Billiards" which was published in 1982.

apparently they were talking about pyramid. The shot is hard on a pool table, let alone 12ft monster with tight pockets.

But it turned out to be "not so tough" ;) These shots were videotaped to set up a contest, the winners are first who makes similar video. And go figure, some guys of your age managed to complete the task in a couple of days!
