Estonian billiards trick shot specialist Juss Saska sat down with the popular TV programme "Ringvaade" to talk about his unusual hobby — and the remarkable skill behind it. Saska, who also works professionally as a camera operator and visual effects expert, has carved out a niche for himself in the world of billiards through his love of the spectacular.

According to Saska, his trademark moves involve shots where the cue ball bounces off multiple cushions before finding its target. His personal record is an impressive nine cushion bounces in a single shot. "My goal is to make the white ball move in an unexpected way," Saska explained, describing what sets his approach apart from conventional billiards play.

Rather than focusing on competitive or recreational billiards, Saska is drawn specifically to trick shots — complex, carefully choreographed moves that prioritise creativity and visual flair over straightforward gameplay. His dual background in visual storytelling and precision sport appears to inform the theatrical nature of his billiards performances.
