roughly six minutes into the second video (of 7) you will sit back and simply acknowledge that Torbjorn Blomdahl is better than you

as for Sayginer, how's about this: http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhyCFH7tqSo&feature=related

house music + carom billiards even-trickier-than-usual-shots = all-time win

I'm the undisputed champion of pocket billiards...

I wanted to start a thread purely about Torbjorn Blomdahl, but tbh anyone who plays this shit to any sort of decent standard deserves big props.

Frederic Caudron is quite good too: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=mG0wLRejHZg&feature=related

Oh SHIT that match is a total thriller!

seven years pass...

I'm going to say this should just be the all-around billiards thread

There are some incredible videos on Youtube, including this utter gem featuring a cue sports pioneer and legend, Murt O'Donoghue, well into his 80s, giving a complete instructional guide to billiards:

Or if you want to be hypnotised, here's Caudron playing one of the oldest forms of billiards. It's almost completely inexplicable:

Or, how's about some artistic billiards? Note the table full of implements, and the players using them to craft their arsenal of cues while they're not taking shots:
