Here is a final match at Artistic Billiards which is a form of carom billiards that has been around for about 100 years as an organized competition. You will see some shots that look impossible. The balls and table are not doctored (although they may need a doctor after these shots 
).
Some of the shots have no cushion required. Some require all balls to end up in a quarter-circle. Some require more than three cushions.
Among the shots are some piqués.
In the competition, both players try the same shots. Each gets three tries with varying points according to the difficulty of the shots. Misses are not counted against except as a tiebreaker, I think. Only the good shots are shown in this video with the exception of one shot that's within a mm of scoring.
