Fun and impressive shots that anyone can make at pool with Florian Kohler

You don't have to be a billiards pro to try your hand at trick shots and start landing a few. The proof is in this tutorial, which teaches you how to do three of them, even if you're a beginner. Benefit from the advice of a prestigious expert: Florian Kohler, two-time world champion and holder of numerous records for trickshots.

The four marbles in a row

The first move in this tutorial is a very easy bet. Just place four marbles stuck together in front of the middle pocket and ask who can get them all into the pocket in one go. Nobody will succeed except you, because you'll know the trick to do it for sure.

Four marbles in four different pockets

Florian Kohler's second trickshot in this tutorial again involves positioning four balls stuck together, but this time getting them to fit into four different pockets. The important thing is to position the balls correctly and hit them in the right place. This shot is relatively easy to execute, even for a beginner.

The splitshot

The third shot in this tutorial, known as the splitshot, is a classic of its kind. It allows you to get four balls in at once, but for practice you can start with two balls. This time, the two balls are not positioned against a strip. And it's precisely the positioning of the balls that's crucial to succeeding in this trickshot. Once you've mastered it, you can make it a little more difficult by adding two extra balls. Here again, Florian Kohler, alias Venom, has the solution to make this trickshot a success.
