Thanks again for having me guys, had a blast :)
Met Florian around 6 or 8 years ago when he came to do a trick shot exhibition at a pool hall where I was working at the time. He was only paid for an hour, but stayed after to talk with people and give instructions. About an hour after he was supposed to have been done, he realized that a tournament was being set up. When he was told that it was a wheelchair doubles tournament put on to fund a couple of our regulars who are wheelchair bound to go to Vegas to play in a tournament, he asked if anyone needed a partner. He played and hungout til nearly closing time. Long story short, Florian, in my limited experience, is a very humble and kind man who is generous with his time even when he doesn't really need to be.
Wow this guy is really impressive
"I don't have names for the shots" - proceeds to name every shot
I wouldn't give him credit for inventing 10,000 shots. What he did do is increase his odds of hitting shots that even professionals wouldn't make 1 in 100 and do them in 1 to 3 tries.
Don't ever let this guy shoot on your table.
Regarding the last bit in the video there is a quite famous quote by Neil Gaiman: "When you don't know it's impossible, it's easier to do!"
I found his skills and channel simply because the collab video of him with Dude Perfect
Ok, he's good at pool, but did you ever heard a french person without accent like him ?
his dad is Walter white
I remember this guy doing such unbelievable trickshots!! Wow he has come this far
This guy has amazing control of his balls.
Congrats on the video Florian! It's very well deserved brother!
Holy crap! How can a human brain even visualize these shots? Superhuman skills.
got skills fer sure. ❤ seeing people doing what they love
I was waiting for a new Wired video, and this showed up right on cue.
Legendary play
I love the Florian Cuetec Avid. I ordered the exact Florian Cue, but had to return it because the shaft was warped, likely due to UPS shipping. It's was a beautiful cue. I might get one again locally. Meanwhile I got the Avid shaft which plays extremely well.
I absolutely love watching pool but this!! This satisfied me way to much!😲😇💜 I will definitely talk my sisters into playing some with me. It's been awhile😅
He was featured in Dude Perfect and I'll say hes incredibly talented
