How did Florian Kohler do this trick shot

[Cardigan Kid]

Andy Segal got in his head right off the start when he did the draw back and shoot at three balls while cue ball is moving. Since florian is not a pool player, he couldn't do what was to the commentators and audience a very simple demonstration. Florian was flustered after that. It was fairly gripping for a trick shot finale

I was watching that shot when it was on TV and also thought it was relatively simple. It wasn't until I realized there was next to no draw at all involved that I said holy heck! It is almost entirely a side spin shot. When you mention draw in your response it makes me think you don't realize how difficult and interesting this shot is. I think that Andy got up next to try the shot and failed as he was trying to add draw to the shot.

Also, if you disagree with me that is fine, but saying "a lot of guys on here can do that shot" when Andy Sigel failed it twice (4 time trick shot pro) is quite a claim.

I always said, pool has a lot of secrets, once you know it, shots becomes easy. i tried a simpler cross faced shot (one you put OB in center of table & try draw CB back) almost 400 times, finally i got it, it is not easy , there is secret (or knowledge need to be used). and Florian shot is not easy on std slow table and dirty balls, you need silicon and fast table, Florian shot has draw in it but he kept it to a minimum to keep CB hugging the rail with the side english.
