[Colin Colenso]

Is the one of the IPT broadcasts, or perhaps the Women on ESPN??

With over 115,000 views on Youtube plus many thousands more on other online video sites.

It's also on the top page of recommended (dugg) videos on www.digg.com - the site that starts the news trends these days.

Whomever he is, he sure has some great abilities. Looks like a 4 by 8 table, with huge buckets though.

Looks to me more like a 3'x6', or possibly 1x2m. Also the way the pockets stick out well past the rails is very odd. Are tables like that common in parts of the world, or is that a weird homemade job?

I assembled a cheap Target-bought table for some kids I know and the side pockets stuck way out like in the video. I'm sure that is just a practice table he feels comfortable drilling the slate with masse strokes. Although I didn't see too many burns marks on the cloth, I'm sure they're there. At the end of the video, he posts a website to visit with the web address country code of cz. I assume thats Czech but I dunno.

The guy is from the Czech Republic. He's a nice guy, who practices a lot, but is humble, and doesn't consider himself very skilled. Obviously he knows how to stroke a CB! LOL He says he cannot do the shots on a slate table yet...and has no money to buy one. The table is 3x6, and has a plywood surface, covered with very cheap cloth. That's why the CB jumps like crazy. The whole deal cost the guy under $200.

Wow, only 200 and he made something out of nothing with it. It is a fantastic video. I just wish that the most watched pool broadast was a match instead of just trick shots.

He is talented as hell though, just trick shots arnt my thing, Id rather watch matches.

I agree.

While his trick shots are impressinve, I am even more impressed with the story of his sub $200 table. Goes to show how much desire and talent trumps equipment. That I find inspirational. Next time I start to whine that I *only* have an 8 foot diamond someody slap me.
