at 0:04 he masses back along the long cushion - hitting 2/3 times and then hits short cushion at 0:09 and rebounds to the ball. Presumably hitting the same cushion more than once in succession does count?
@NAMTRIP Yes,its true.A year ago Blomdahl came to Greece for an exhibition and we asked him ''which players among all 3 cushioners do you like?''-And he answered right away without second thought''Dick Jaspers for his amazing cueing technique''.
My opinion is the same,Blomdahl for his effectiveness and Jaspers for his technique
It looks like he uses a lot of right hand english and doubles the rail -- short cushion first, then long cushion, then short cushion again out to the other balls.
Yes - I see, thanks. If he started off touching the short cushion would that count as first touch - I guess not - so presumably he must have been just off the short cushion to start with?
Because it is indeed a three cushions shot. Even if it is almost impossible to see it in the video, he touches the short cushion twice: once ton the way towards the corner and again on the way back. This shot is called a "renversé". The necessary precision to achieve this is just what makes of Blomdahl the great player he is.
The objective in 3-cushion is: the ball you use must hit the ball of your opponent and the red for make a point; BUT it must too touch at least 3 cushions before touch the last ball. In the play of the video, Blomdahl makes their ball hit 4 or 5 cushions in that little space of the table. An ingenious way to going out of a hard situation
Carom games have really interesting aspects that you dont find in other billiards games. Perhaps you have fun if you trying it for a while. I look pool boring after this games -but of course it depends on where you find the fun-. 'Hellos' from mexico city

@lsbrother The cue ball doesn't have to contact 3 different cushions as long as they're contacted at least 3 times in total.

how does the shot at 58 where he plays along the cushion, hits the side cushion and then hits both balls count as 3 cushions?

Ok, seriously, what is the point of this? Is it to get the ball to have backspin? Please help me out here.

I'm not sure Blomdahl is human. The trick shot guys are fun to watch, but this guy is something else entirely. The best I've ever seen.
