Sorry, I find this thread to be uglier than the video. The kid is no trick shot artist, but he must have some interest in the game to bother with this at all. He has taken the time to learn a few basic trick shots and make up a few of his own. Exactly what is wrong with this? Is it that he posted the video to YouTube that bothers you? It is what kids do today, get over it grandpa.
Everybody has to start someplace, and I would guess that as teenagers more than one respected poster on AZ is guilty of show off with lame trick shots.
I hope this kids sticks with it and learns to really play. If he reads this thread, I would guess that he would be discouraged to the point of giving it up. But since pool is so popular already, what would that matter, huh?
Criticism has its place, but bashing this kid’s trick shot video is just mean spirited....
