  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Why have his cue balls got red dots on them?

    @petejones879@petejones8798 ай бұрын

    • They are colloquially known as "measles" cue balls. They are the same as a regular cue ball, but the red dots are great for instant feedback to see what kind of spin you are putting on it. They help the audience to see what is going on during some televised tournaments, whereas it is nearly impossible to tell what kind of spin was put on a cue ball when it is completely white. I hope that helps.
