This guy is simply amazing, watch and see. Each shot is better than the last.

That is pretty impressive, but (with the exception of about 4 of those shots) almost anyone can do those shots. 90% of making those shots is setting up the balls. I do the coin in the glass trick with a dime and a shot glass. I've done the other one with the 6 balls and the drink on the table (minus the drink). The 15 ball combo is pretty kool and gets a lot of oh's and ah's but in all reality making most "common" 2 or 3 ball combos in a real game are harder. But all in all it was a very cool video and thank you for finding/posting.

The one I liked the best was balancing the 4 balls on top of the coke bottles and making the top ones drop down while the others jumped out from underneath.

You're right about setting up the balls, but it takes a great measure of skill to be able to control a cueball the way he does. Most of those tricks are "camera friendly", easy to see from a distance, crowd pleasers.

The finest points of the game are difficult to see and are much less sensational.

That is so 2003 : D There is only one of those tricks that I could do, and that is knocking the cue ball in the hole with one shot. I couldn't get the other six balls in before the cue ball went in.

The main reason I posted it was for that one I described above with the bottles... It's worth watching just for that.

9 ball is all about controling where te cue ball lines up for the next shot.

An awful lot of trick shooters come out of professional 9 ball.

I have a cane I made from my old Meucci ST-2 9 ball stick. I used to play when I
was in the Navy. I couldn't get rid of it, and I got tired of it sitting in the case
collecting dust.
