Interpool Open Champion Raj Hundal “The Hitman” Is Making Things Happen Around the Sport of Pool

Professional pool player Raj Hundal “The Hitman” is making things happen both on and off the pool table. Along with his recent win at the InterPool Open in Sweden, Raj has taken part in an innovative ad campaign for Fosters beer which teaches viewers trick shots.

Raj Hundal’s family is from Punjab, India where his grandfather was a captain of the Indian Army. The Hundal family moved to the UK and introduced Raj to cue sports at an early age. He started playing the game around 6 of age.

Raj has a strong background in snooker, achieving century breaks by the age of 13 and winning local tournaments.

Coming up in pool with top UK player Steve Knight, Raj emerged as a pool player after falling in love with the game of 9-ball.

After turning pro in 2000, Raj has earned many titles including being ranked #1 on the UK Tour by the age of 23, winning five ranking tournaments in a row.

Raj is also the 2005 World Pool Masters Champion and helped his European team win the Mosconi Cup in Vegas.

I recently spoke with Raj about his victory in Sweden, and got the breakdown on this fun campaign he took part in.  Check out the story for the details… 

JT: Can you give me a brief description of how the finals went?

Raj: I was behind early, then caught a gear and went 9-6 up, then Marcus played a great shot from my safety and next time I shoot, I’m 10-9 behind and then get a chance to win with him dry breaking even with his huge break, and I finish off the match 11-10… awesome stuff in front of a packed house in his home town.

JT: What did it mean to you to win the event?

Raj: It means a lot, as it’s my match training for upcoming events, plus there were other champions in the tournament like myself, Mika Immonen, Marcus Chamat, Niels Feijen, and the best in the Scandinavia region too….

JT: How would you describe how you are playing right now?

Raj: Right now, I’m playing better than I have ever done before in my life I feel.  I’m training and it feels as if my tactical and strategy play is much stronger now than ever too… my vision is very clear.
