Worst trick shot video ever
- Thread starter u12armresl
- Start date
the second one was alot better actually. he even did Mike Massey's famous jump shot in the shoe eve though i don't think it was done properly but i good trick anyways.....what kills me though was when he jumped on the cushion catches it and throws it lol.

Now this is a post I can pile on too....(and agree with 100%)
Perhaps we can turn this negative thread around and notice that this kid added some pretty cool slow mo effects....He is probably getting the chicks his age with that video...When I was that age I would have thought what he was doing was pretty high level and been totally impressed....
If he did it for a high scool media project...I would give him an A..
BTW...I like that music...

I can't believe how dead the rails are. He is hitting them warp speed and the ball barely has enough steam to make it across the table twice.tsw_521 said:
yea, like some people said, at least this kid isn't vegged out on the sofa playing X-box! but there is something strange about a kid "pre-drivers license" having hair longer than most girls!
I am MUCH more impressed with stroke shots, then "set up" style trick shots. If that kid puts up another video of him drawing the ball 3 rails.....then I will be impressed!

Two Stooges Sports Bar & Grille will be adding $5000. Dr. Cue Promotions will be adding $1000 and the WPA-APD will determine the breakdown.

The format will start with the preliminary round of 40 shots (from the 56 shot program), followed by 12 players advancing into the playoff round.

Each playoff match will consist of 16 shots selected by the players (1 per discipline per player), followed by each player selecting 2 additional shots which can be any shots in the program.

The player with the highest point total at the end of the match will advance.
The event will be played on 4 Gabriel 9 foot pool tables. 3 practice tables will be available. The cloth, ball sets, etc will be posted at a later time.

I wonder if Fast Larry will throw his stick on the table after he does a trick shot

I'm with Jamison. I'm glad my videos aren't showing up here. hehe
I've got to say though, we all started somewhere, it's just that most of us didn't have a digital video camera when we 'thought' we were good. I know you remember the time when you 'thought' you were good, only to find out a year or so later, as you improved, what you 'thought' was good was actually quite bad. There was a time when I was the best player at Freed-Hardeman University. I thought I was hot-stuff. Turns out there just weren't any other good players there. It took another year for me to realize I needed to compare myself to better players.
With that, I am now what you see, a better-than-average trick shot artist (modestly speaking).
You guys don't know how many times kids, just like these in the videos posted here (and probably the same kids), send me their clips asking me what they can do to get better. "What do you think?", they'll ask. It's hard not to say, 'well, it's terrible, but keep working on it'. Honestly. Nevertheless, we who are more accomplished in the game should encourage these kids to stick with it. One day they'll look back and say about what they thought was good, "that was terrible", but delight in what they've accomplished since.
I wish I had a few videos of me performing what I thought were good shots 2 years ago so that I could compare them with what I'm doing now, but I don't. I will say this though, we've probably all done the railroad shot and thought we were the bomb for hitting it. And now look - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0ly8Ee_7jM (http://www.ericyow.com/videos/EricYowMasseInsanity512.wmv)
Because He Lives,
-yow!

thx
I greatly appreciate the encouragement, guys. I didn't mean to hijack the thread, though. I just mean that everybody starts somewhere. I look at other players like Semih Sayginer, who is arguably the best in the world at what he does, and say, "he wasn't born that good". A previous poster made a good comment that these kids could be out doing far more deconstructive things. I commend them for there time spent at the table and not in the streets. People like Mike Massey and enumerable others less famous (Scott Lee, et. al) have it as a special purpose to use this game as a tool to give kids the desire to do something besides drugs and sex. As do I.
On a side note (ok now I'm hijacking for sure), I hope we receive a lot of support for the World Artistic Pool Championship. We want this facet of the sport to continue to grow, immensely, if possible. There are 8 spots still open and I personally will dedicate my time and attn (via emal if by no other way) to teach anyone how to perfect any shots in our program that they may be having difficulty with. Also, if anyone has any connections with billiard media reps let me know. I'd love to make some contacts in regards to coverage of this and future events. Thanks.

Actually, I did have a video camera back when I 'thought' I was good. OK, I never thought that because back then I could never draw the ball. But the clips that snuck into my compilation video that aren't on my website are indeed from back in the day. Those are only a select few as well. The rest of them shall remain hidden away only for me to use when I feel like I need to cringe.
