Trick Shots on a Brandt Custom Table
3x Champion Rico ‘Ricochet’ Diks puts the Hillshire table through its paces.
Three-time European Pool Champion and trick shot artists Rico 'Ricochet' Diks spent an afternoon at the Philip Martyn Design showroom showing off his skills on a Billiards by Brandt table. The handsome and distinguished, yet modern in its design, the solidly constructed Hillshire bespoke pool table would look as at home in a contemporary interior as it would in a more traditional one.
Whatever your preferred game is nine-ball, snooker, pool, or another cue sport, Brandt billiard tables are built to regulation for even the most competitive of players.
“I’ve really enjoyed playing on this pool table by Billiards by Brandt as its playability is truly excellent .... These tables could be used on any professional tournament worldwide.”
Diks has toured the world as a champion pool player for more than 25 years. During this time he has won 8 Bronze, 4 Silver, and 3 Gold medals at the European Pool Championships. Considered the pioneer of professional pool in the Netherlands, he is part of their “golden generation,” which has now spawned top pool stars such as Nick van den Berg, Niels Feijen, and Alex Lely.
He is featured regularly in World Championships matches live on Sky Sports & ESPN StarSports in front of live viewing audiences of over 50 million, has graced billboards all over Asia, and is also regarded as one of the most feared hustlers in the world. As a coach, he was a victorious vice-captain twice on the European Mosconi Cup team, broadcasted live on Sky Sports, and has given lessons worldwide.
It was an honor to have him take a Billiards by Brandt custom table for a spin and we welcome him back at any time.
