Trickshots to perform during a game

How do you get out of a bad situation?

It often happens that, during a game, you find yourself in a complicated situation, thinking you're stuck. Florian Kholer, aka Venom, a world-renowned expert in artistic billiards and holder of numerous records, will help you get out of those situations you thought were impossible to overcome. Nothing can stop you from winning a game.

Jumping on the band

The first shot in this tutorial will help you when the cue ball seems to be surrounded and only the rail in front of it can be reached without hitting an opponent's ball. Have you thought about bouncing the cue ball off the rail so that it flies over the balls that are trapping you? Florian Kohler will show you how in this video.

The impossible cut

The second trickshot in this tutorial is a seemingly impossible shot. It involves hitting a ball along a rail so that it follows the rail, while the cue ball you're shooting with is perpendicular to it. This shot requires a little practice before it is successful, but it is particularly effective.

The perfect curve

The third shot is a little special and particularly spectacular. The cue ball goes into a pocket at one end of the billiard table and then, with the spin, curves around to avoid the balls still in play and goes into the ball at the other end. The positioning of the body, the hand and the body language are very important for this shot.
