Think you're good at pool? (vid)

Nice, bet that took practise, also bet he isn't very good at acually playing!

Unlikely. With the ability to spin and position the cue ball like that, you'd dominate.

Fair play. A lot of those shots are cool but like e.g. juggling a football they're useless in an actual match.

I'm sure when a car wheel lands on the pool table, one of those shots would work
 
Awesome play, I agree if you can pull of those kind of tricks I'm 100% sure he can play pool at professional levels.
 
I wouldnt agree that being good at trick shots makes you a good pool player.

Look at the winner of all the pool trick shot competitions, and see how many names you recognise from tournamnet pool. Very few, i'd wager.

Lets face it, if someone practices playing trickshots everysingle day for a year, they're gonna be pretty good. Put them on a table in a competition setting, where you have so many other variables (different tables, different opponenst, different match situations), and it doesnt in any way follow that good trick shot player equals good tournament player.
 
Hmm, on one hand some of that trickshot skill, backspin etc would translate to match pool, hed definitely be a good player, but at the same time, those trickshots are calculated and setup, no doubt practised many times over aswell.
 
Meh. 3 of the shots were simple break shots, americans use HUGE pockets, and some of the backspin shots are quite simple. Given 5 minutes i could probably do that :)

Some of the shots were quite good, but i've seen miles better :cool:
