Okay I get why you're so comfortable saying it, you're old as shit.

Ever said that statement to someone's face who had an autistic child in your 89 years of life?

More people watched this "junk" when it was on ESPN then when regular pool was on ESPN. The stuff we do in competition is not the circus act stuff that people see on videos. Its interesting when I have good pool players try and attempt some of our competition shots. They usually fail miserably.

To your post about "when does that happen in a game" a number of the concepts from our competition shots do come up in games. However, our stuff doesn't have to come up in a game. It is a different aspect of cue sports. And a lot of people watch this stuff. Florian has the most subsribers on social media than any pool player, then any league, then any tour. More people watch trickshots online then regular pool.

So while people are watching our event and enjoying it, you can stick to whatever pool you want to watch.

Juggling requires great skill and practice. That doesn't make it a sport. Most trickshot "artists" are very average pool players. Please don't start on the outlier Mike Massey.

Youtube views by random viewers don't make for validation. Gangnam Style is not Rock & Roll hall of fame stuff. Trickshots are the pornography of pool. Not real life.

I was thinking the "Venom" guy must be a great 1 handed player.

i agree on a personal preference level, but it's definitely a good thing what these boys are doing in terms of getting eyeballs to cue sports. if only a fraction of venom's millions of viewers takes up pool it's a big win.

Do You know if there is anywhere a person can download the trick shot catalog?
 
I loved trickshots growing up.

It took me years to figure the stacked ball trick was a prop.

Trickshot championships are amazing.
Most fans dont know how challenging the shots are.

Trickshots are the most fun to practice and after awhile you learn enough to put on a show.

Watching trickshots is a demonstration of a physics experiment that can be replicated.

Trickshot commentary has a long way to go. Usually the shooters are entertaining.

It's one of the tabs on the home page of Artistic Pool -- a link is given above. The page itself is very hard to read, so you might miss it.
