Incredible! Brilliant! He will be one to watch! :wink:
That is amazing. He is going to be a force to be reckoned with if he keeps on like he is. I couldnt shoot left and right handed like that if I tried. His stroke is great and he just fires the balls right in there. I'm blown away.

Amazing what a young, open mind can learn! Kid has better fundamentals than most adults, and at three it's already automatic to him! If he keeps going and having as much fun as he is now, it's very possible this kid will bring pool to a whole new level. Truly a joy to watch him!
That is so cool, thanks for sharing. He is having so much fun, its awesome.
That is so true!!
From your experience and knowledge how can you explain it?
How about those long cut shots on a Snooker table?
Is it just that he's the human version of stroke test robots like Meucci introduced?...
Nature with a lot of nurture. Young minds are very acceptable to new info. They are like a sponge. You teach a child the correct way to do something, and they have it for life to build on. When we are older and try to learn something new, we bring a lot of unnecessary baggage to the table that we have to undo first. Our minds usually are not very willing to undo old habits.
To be honest, the way that kid is just firing balls in table length without a moments hesitation has got to be sickening to even the best players! But, there again, his mind is totally free to just perform the task at hand. There is no baggage of the penalties of missing the shot. Just total freedom to perform as we all really can. But, to be able to do that so well with at most 2 years experience, well........ it's amazing!
I say two years exp. because it's possible that he had a very small table to play with before he even could walk. His mind could very well have already associated somewhat how the balls react to each other.
I'm posting right after Neil again so I sincerely hope that this thread does not get derailed. If so I will have nothing to do with it beyond this post.
The best thing about that video is the fun & enjoyment that he is having except for when he scratched so he does understand the penalty aspect.
I called my Doctor right after I finished watching it & left a message on his recorder. I want to have my forearm shortened by the end of next week.:wink: Just something to think about.

Kid picks up a baseball at 3 years old, pitchs 9 strikes in a row from the pitchers mound....does that mean he's the next Nolan Ryan?
he could be if he keeps at it? who knows? point is he's a natural and could be better than someone who picks up a baseball at ten...
It would have been more impressive if he was shooting more than one ball a row, instead of just the takes where he actually made a ball.
Those pockets are huge and he doesn't have one foot on the floor.:thumbup:
