Remind me to not play pool for money against these guys….
Clearly faked. Some very bad matting too.
I saw nothing that defied the laws of physics. I’m going with probable, though unlikely, which means there must have been thousands of take to produce this.
Not sure if it is fake, but it certainly is something when those two dudes would rather swing their cues against each other than engage with the woman who could be found on the table.
i’m going to say fake
if not
impossibru!
Why are you fools saying “fake”?! He clearly credits the guy at the end of the video. Go look at his channel and you’ll see all the videos, in normal speed and slow motion, and all the mistakes they made before they got the shot to work.
Man…
Pool sluts.
I’ll play pool with these guys- first person to scratch loses. LOL.
How do they DO that? Advanced geometry degrees? Epic hand eye coodrination? Both?
Practice over a lot of time……..the girl is obviously there just to be in a video those 2 never saw a vagina up close
You tell yourself what ever you have to to sleep at night. Those two probably turn down more sex (due to an over abundance offers already) then women you will ever meet in your life time.
I’m gonna go with a computer animation group.

Very strange parabels and bounces on some of the shots
If you look closely, the reason the ball behaves the way it does in some of those shots is because he puts a spin on the ball. You can SEE the ball spinning while it is rolling. I can see this happening, it is easy to picture in your head. In fact, if you have a trackball IRL with a removable ball, flick your finger against the very side of it. Note how it will roll away from your hand, but also spin. If you have a large enough perfectly flat area with a uniform resistance (like a pool table’s fine felt top), the ball should make a “U” — the ball has forward momentum but yet a sidespin which makes it turn. The bounces are just ridiculously good aim and luck with some timing thrown in.
Is it really that hard to notice that its fake? Look closely at the ball for almost every trick, and you’ll see that there’s something not right about it.
Study some physics before you call fake.
He kinda missed a glass or 2 on his sweep at the end
I’m a player myself and i can tell you this is possible and sure no fake!
But what you don’t see in those Videos are the million trys for one such succed…
But it’s still impressive!
CGI makes all sorts of cool pool shots possible. I WOULD bet against these guys in a live setting.
-PM-
I’ll vouch that this is real. I grew up watching my dad play LOTS of pool. Putting tremendous amounts of spin on the ball will definitely make it do that. If you watch on the shots where the cue ball makes the sharp turns, you’ll notice that the players are hitting the ball from a very steep angle–almost from directly over the top of the ball. This is called masse, and people have been doing it for a long, long time.
Yeah, this is all real. I can do most of those shots… give enough tries at it.
All the jumps were done using a jump cue. A good jump cue and 5 minutes instruction and anyone one half decent in pool can jump balls all over the table.
The ball turning on the table is called masse, and just involves putting spin on the ball as it is hit (as mentioned above) Also notice all the red dots on the ball. That particular ball is VERY light and makes trick shots much easier to pull off.
The rest is just setting up props.. the black and red balls are places in such a way that ANY hit on them will sink the ball. The glasses and the girl are nothing but window dressing.
Then do the shots over and over again until you get it to work.
