Since you guys know it all on here, I'm wondering if you any of you know who this kid is?

If he can move around the ball like that, I'm sure he can play regular games decently strong for his age (maybe any age). His fundamentals look strange, so there's much to learn. But if he sticks with it, I'm sure we'll be hearing about him in years to come.

Landon Shuffett was my first guess, but without the baseball cap I can tell thats not him.

Doesn't look like Landon to me. Fantastic stuff...BUT...whith his forearm cocked forward at address and with his significant elbow drop he'll never actually be able to play pool!!! (-;

Yeah, I'm wondering about his actual game as well. Don't like his fundamentals, either, but he's 12, so he'll be able to learn those, no problem.

Unless he's just a trick shot genius and nothing else. But I'd guess if you're that good at trick shots, you should be able to excel at regular pool.

My first guess is that his name is Connor. :D Already he has a good repertoire of trick, jump and stroke shots. His parents probably play pool too, so maybe someday we may learn his full name and where he is from. I hope he sticks with it. Larry Nevel Jr. !!

BATA CONNOR is a good trick shot artist and can probably pot a traditional shot or two as well.

He will be unable to shoot without dropping his elbow. :p

Thanks for posting the young man's video. It was awesome.

Not too many kids who can afford to have TWO different pool tables. :)

A great video! The kid definitely has talent.

I have to wonder though how many tries it took him to make these shots. I have a feeling that some of them took awhile. But thats not all bad.

Any good pool player could make any shot shown on this video if they knew how to set it up and what stroke to use. There are no "Mike Massey" type stroke shots here.

I think he is advanced for a young player, but I seriously doubt he could beat Landon or Austin in a match. I'd have to see that to think he was some kind of prodigy. I'm betting on Landon if they play. Put that one on TAR!

Ah yes...start them gambling early. Jay, you're too much.
 
The kid put on a fantastic show. Landon and I are impressed!! Kid, if you're ever in the Kentucky area, you're invited by for grilled burgers and then you can show Landon a few of those shots. Our info is on justcueit.com

I know this is an old post, but I thought I would comment. I agree with what Jay said, alot of these shots probably took many tries. They are still impressive though, especially for his age. He has made quite a few trickshot videos, and has posted them on YouTube. One thing I have noticed, is that he comments alot on other trickshot videos. Most of the time, its very negative. But again, I know he is just a kid. Hopefully he will grow out of that, because he does have alot of talent.

I personally comment on YouTube quite often, and you would NEVER find me saying anything negative about anyone doing a certain shot. Everyones skill is different, and there is ALWAYS someone better out there.

If players out there think there good at trickshots, go try the pro artistic tournaments. That will make 99.99% of players really appreciate the sport.
 
Sticking with it
