Trick shot champion Florian 'Venom' Kohler gives Rollie a pool master class | From Average To Good

[@EpicRaincloud]

Rollie: *Misses trick shot* Florian: *Gives one simple piece of advice* Rollie: *Makes shot instantly* ...That's how you know Florian is a great teacher.

I thought that was Florian.

[@jerrywyatt8200]

Best video so far. I have known Florian to be an excellent trickshot artist, but he can play 9 ball better than I thought. This 33 minute video has more information about masse and jumps than the hundreds of dollars I've spent on learning materials. Great job both of you.

[@ruebze]

That's so true... he explains things very user friendly I must say.

[@RichardsWorld]

If you practice hard shots like this for a couple hours and a friend shows up and wants to play a regular game, it seems so easy to make regular shots.

[@KarnageGaming]

Venom is really good. Out of all the pros rollie has seen venom probably taught him the most i feel like

[@corysiler487]

I respectfully disagree. What Florian taught translated to more "instant gratification" results. The other two videos were packed with alot of info that is hard to digest let alone put into practice during a single lesson. Fundamentals like stance and pre-shot routine are HARD. Speed control is HARD. Consistency is HARD. Strategy is HARD. Putting all those things into practice at the same time to get tangible results is IMPOSSIBLE. He makes a masse 1 out of 17 times and it's GLORIOUS TRIUMPH. However, he makes a ball and gets good shape on the next ball 3 times in a row before dogging a 9 ball and it seems like nothing has changed. In reality he did ALOT of things right 75% of the time and one lapse caused him to lose the rack, so it feels like a failure.

after Rollie got the big masse right, I think he was half expecting him to excitingly hug him so he through his arms in the air to either celebrate or accept the hug and not to make it awkward either way... if this actually was the case, it was genius!

[@micha-42]

Amazing! In his videos, Florian is always on the edge of the cliché pretentious trick shot player-although he plays with that-and it's great to see him being a normal (ish!) dude sharing his passion. Big fan of both!

[@caash1977]

I think you should do a tutorial because you are definetely not an average player. Love your vids and keep up the good work

[@squatch570]

A guy who doesn't know what a billiard (carom) table is, does not have enough knowledge to do ANY tutorials. Go get lessons from your local pro, you'll spend some money but it will be worth the time and effort.

[@triplebasic]

Something tells me he was joshing about "your table doesn't have pockets" The tutorial is all on the channel. Practice practice practice.

[@squatch570]

@@triplebasic Nah, most likely not. I watch some of this guy's videos for the same reason people watch "Hoarders" or "My 600lbs Life"... to see the total embarrassment, train wreck that it is. This guy is supposed to be funny but to me he's not, in the way he intends, but rather funny in an embarrassing kind of way.

[@AjeetSingh-xq4yb]

That's nonsense. You can still teach technique and other skills without knowing what a carom table is. The idea that knowing what a carom table is, is somehow the minimum standard is ridiculous.

[@EvanJaredSamuels]

@@squatch570 I bet no one enjoys being around you.

[@rickyhineman4124]

Florian seems like a really good guy. He definitely put a lot of care into teaching Rollie, and even me watching this video was able to learn a bunch about the shots I typically miss now (like the masse and jump shot). Thanks so much for this video!

[@Bruno2ndKOP]

Florian always giving Efren some praise. I love both of them👌🏼

[@dimasprajoko]

I have a lot of disrespect to florian, i always thought that his trick shots was made with a "trick" placed on the cloth to make the cue ball spin that much, but seeing this, i have absolutely nothing but admiration to the guy. Damn with 3 tables i can see the hours of dedication into the practice is insane. There are not many moments that i am humbled, but this really basically kicks me in the "balls" -- get it?

CHALK IS FREE. Chalk up for every shot. Make it the beginning of your pre-shot routine. 3 Rules for beginners: 1) Shot with the stick as level as possible whenever you can. 2) Look down the barrel of the rifle. 3) Hercules can't shoot pool. Cheers.

[@enverko]

Honestly, considering his fame and everything he's accomplished and ofc his skill he is a very humble guy, which I can always respect.

[@danodden9783]

5:00 He's so good he defies Newton's laws.

[@jeschinstad]

I've actually done that better in a game. White ball was in a corner with the eight in front. I needed to pot the eight ball in the hole behind the white. I used a draw with a little English, aimed the black at the lip of the mid pocket, white returns and goes into the side wall, eight comes straight back into the corner. Perfect shot. I'll never forget it; at that precise moment, someone said something funny and everyone looked away from the table. Best shot I've ever made and in a room full of people who'd been watching all night, not a single person saw what I did. :) It was twenty years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday.

[@pete-do3fz]

He can play decent 9 ball he's just not world level but not that many are and he could try snooker anyway and not be world at that either but still enjoy it and give it a go. That said, there's probably as much chance of finding Stone'enge in America as there is of finding a snooker table.
