Just came across this vid of a carom player called Semith Sayginer, who has some absolutely amazing shots.

Welcome to 3-cushion billiards! For those of you who missed Semih Sayginer in NYC 10 days ago... He did an amazing one-man show that was filmed after the tournament. Unlike a lot of trick-shot shooters, this guy doesn't need that many tries to make those crazy shots you see... also rare for exhibition shot players, is the fact that he also is a top tournament player. He's got a stroke like no one else in the world.
BTW, Sayginer got 3rd place in the tournament behind Frederic Caudron and Torbjorn Blomdahl.
Keep checking www.highrockproductions.com for updates on how to get Sayginer's DVDs...

LOL. You're not the first to ask this question. He is real. He does use silicone spray on some of the shots to make the ball slide longer. I have had the pleasure of watching Semih make about a dozen of the trickshots in the video I posted LIVE. I'd say he took 20 tries to make the 12 shots.

Besides the silcone spray,bigger balls etc, the table he plays on is heated which also enhances the effects.Nonetheless this man is extremley talented with a superb stroke.It was a pleasure to watch for sure.

Well that is true, but bigger balls (61.2 mm) and heated tables are normal in billiards, that's why I didn't mention them.
gr. Dave
Some people know about the heated tables/bigger balls and others don't.
The bottom line is that some of the shots these billiard players pull off,could not be pulled off under normal conditions.
Either way Sayinger is an awesome talent.
