I think this would take me more than one try.
Warning. Not in Engrish. Super cool how he bows when he misses.

Crazy hard drill I wouldn’t waste my time even attempting. I don’t think I’d ever get past the first side pocket even if I tried it for a week! That table has some lively cushions!
Isn't this the Honduran rotation game?
No it is not. Close one though..
That can't be... only those ghastly ole Diamond tables have springy rails
That's a tough one no doubt. Thanks for sharing. I wish it was subtitled though!
I'd bet even money I could get to the 3rd ball...with 10 tries.
This is very similar to a very painful drill from Max Eberle I've tried. I got to the 12 once but then left short on the 13, and Max's seems easier than this!
I will add, this drill improved my game more than any non-stroke oriented drill. You 100% start learning exactly where the ball is going to come off the rail, how speed and English affect angle, how speed affects angle, max angle you can achieve coming off the rail, LOTS of stuff that applies directly the majority of shots you shoot during a game.
If you're a 500-550'sh Fargo player I highly suggest you try this drill a few times a day, 10 times a week, something, it WILL improve your game.
EDIT: Not sure how l lost your quote in my post?
I can confirm that statement, at my peak I was a 630'sh Fargo and I never got past the 12 ball in Max's easier drill, and I was happy to get there
It is a brutal drill.

I would put this on my billiards aptitude test as well, but I only have 1 set of balls.

Not sure, but it looked like it said "Take 50" right before he ran out.
Just watched the second. He runs 82 balls and then apologizes because he didn't make all 105. At least that's what I think happened since I don't understand Japanese. Really like this guy, comes across to me as humble and respectful of the game.

Yow - 105 balls (7 racks)!
I used to see Marco Marquez practice banks with two racks of balls (using both cue balls as needed), and thought that was pretty amazing.

I think the drill Max shows is much more useful to the average "good" player than the original one in OP.
