Man, that's some mad skills! The table and cushions sound a bit dead which makes it all the more impressive, although is that just a 6 or 7 foot table?

There's a few things that hasn't been noticed that makes the shots a little more possible and I can tell you them if you like  , I know this from playing trickshots and playing on many different tables

ok, firstly, the table that he's playing on is only a 7 fter, 2. the cloth that he has on the table, is the heavier IPT standard cloth, which means that the cueball will react faster with extreme spin and 3rd, if you look at the table, you'll notice that the cut of the pockets on the table come out past the nose of the rails, especially at the side pockets, oh wait, there's more, 4. I forgot to mention that the cueball he is using is the same size, but actually slightly lighter than the rest of the balls, hence the reason why he's able to use as much spin and finally, the balls aren't 2 1/4", they are a little smaller, about 2 1/8" which is the standard size for American Snooker ball sets and 1 last thing, the bed of the table is MDF and not slate, which is why that when he was playing jump shots off the rail and over the rack, etc, the cueball wasn't repetedly buncing back up as it normally would on a slate bed table  Watch the video again and watch it carefuly and you will notice these as the video is playing  , but in saying that, the trickshots are still pretty nice to watch  Have a nice day

1 last thing, the ball set used in the video is a cheap quality set that BCE stocks, Super Pro, these are a low quality ball, which after a few dozen rack, they are lost all the polish that was on the set, when you first get them, the dullness of the appearence on each ball indicates this

You can see more of this Czech player here. His name is Pavel Poledno as far as I know and he is 27 years old. Trick ShotsObviously the table is specially made but the action is still good.

oh yes, definitely, I have watched the great Yoshikazu Kimura and that guy is undoubtedly pure amazing to watch and I gotta say that I would rank some of the trickshots in this video with Kimura's, but only a few, but the rest are still great to watch
