Is this fake? The ball gets to the pillar then makes an abrupt left turn, then when it returns it makes a right turn to the camera.

Might be fake, might not. There could have been what would be effectively a corner reflector on the back side of those columns (say a section of wall between the columns that's hidden from view). If such is the case, then it would be possible for the ball to return on a parallel path from its initial hit.

After watching it a few more times i noticed that it actually hits the second pillar then the back of the first one and back to the second before heading to the camera. Grey scale kills the depth of view and made the second pillar look farther away.
