That's a nice clip of Semih aswell, I assume you saw the one I posted a few days ago? The older man who is commentating on some of the shots is Raymond Ceulemans, if you can impress him on a carom table, you can start thinking about giving up the day job.

That's some crazy masse' on the CB like the shot where it zig-zagged in the corner...

Yea, some of those shots are close to unbelievable. I would love to see him do some of those in person.

When he comes to the US to play he usually does a short show. He was in a Billiards tournament at Carom billiards in Queens, NY last fall(?) and a few guys I know saw him play and do his exhibition.

Did [Sayginer] win?

He finished 2nd behind Blomdahl. An article from Billiards Digest by Bob Byrne is available at http://www.sfbilliards.com/BD2005_10_SLMtxt.pdf

I think Blomdahl has won more major tournaments with an average over 2.0 than all the other players combined. If you get tapes on 3-C, look for the ones on which he is doing the commentary.

Here's your chance. I'm pretty sure he'll be there:

The 2006 Sang Lee Open will be August 13-20 at the Carom Cafe in
Flushing, NY. The prelims have been opened up to 96 players and
if the field fills, the prize fund will be $100,000.

There will be four hours of programming from the 2005 edition on
TV on the America One network (which also carries Billiard Club
TV). Shows are scheduled for May 7th and 21st with two other
segments to follow through August. See:
