Important!! please reply |

Hi everyone,
a TV station in Belgium here has come to the attention of my video's and has asked me if I could perform some shots in a competition on TV. what should i do ??? I know i could probably pull some shots off but the problem is I don't have a massé cue. and without massé's, the performance won't be as good as i would like it to be.
I know this is probably one of those chances you have to take since I probably won't get a lot of these opportunities, especially here in Belgium...
another problem is that the TV station is located in the French part of Belgium and since I don't speak a lot of French, i would probably make an *** of myself not to mention I will be so nervous that i will probably miss the CueBall
Please tell me what you would do in a situation like this, i'm really in a dilemma here...

yes go for it, if you dont you might regret it for the rest of your life. as for the masse cue i had the pleasure of watching Dave Pearson in a Masse challange at my local pool shop in San Diego he didnt use a masse cue, if you dont have a masse cue he recomended me an extra shaft 13mm or 14mm with a soft tip.

offcourese u will go for it .... i think u better mail VASH .... he started his carreer like that he can tell u sum real time experience....never shoot hard shots in from of a live audience untill ur a master on it .... its not a place to show ur extreme thyself..... its a place where u just entertain ppl ....
choose sum good looking shots for the normal crowd ..... get a variety of disciiplines.... trick fancy prob and arched shots makes them nuts . u shoot the shots u know gonna be perfect .... coin in the glss.... jump over a crowd.... many balls in one shot .... railroad shots .... if u know how to tapmark the spots ...get urself ready b4 the show on the same table .... go for setup shots like just showing off ... butterfly etc ...i gat a shot list from VASH ...if u wanna know i can give u .
its just a show ... u need to plan it ... u need to entertain the ppl .... rem few of them r pro who will want to see a extreme shot.
after watching 5 trickshot of mine ..a girl become my GF after watching the coin in the glass shot .... <shit happens>

man, u got nothing to lose. Only good things can come out. If u mess up, no problem, ure not a big star and ppl dont have high expectations. If u make some nice shots however, u can get noticed. everything is worth one try, thats what i think. so........go 4 it!

I really want to, but I don't yet know the format. It appears that the competition will be held in a local poolhall and that the station will be filming some shots, so it's not like I have to give an entire show. But if only pro's are attending... it's not my cup of tea
If some amateurs are competing as well, i will surely enter also.

T-Buzz,
"You only get better, when you play against those better than you." Someone close to me who use to play the pro curcuits told me that. I'm finding it's true. You have so many trick shots that you can do, and do consistantly you won't have a problem with this. As for the competitors you will face, it doesn't matter what their skill level is so much as it does you keeping your focus and doing what you know to do. "Play the table, not the opponent." In this case, play the shot not the opponent. If you go into it telling yourself you can't win, and you shouldn't do it, you won't win, and you won't do it.
Opportunity is knocking on your door to hang out with the pros. If nothing else comes of it, you have one of the best opportunities to learn from the ones most qualified to teach. Do it, give it your best, and you have nothing to lose, everything to gain, and an experience of a lifetime you can pass on to others. Besides, who knows, one of the pros may like what they see in you, and may decide to mentor you. Or, someone else might see you and offer you another opportunity for something. You never know what could happen, or who you will meet at an event like that. if you don't take the opportunity, you might miss out on something bigger, and will always be wondering what would have happened if you only had done it. Don't let fear prevent you from doing it. Courage isn't the abscence of fear, it's how you respond to it.
GO FOR IT T-BUZZ! YOU CAN DO IT, MAN!

Don't worry about having to play with pros T-buzz. Last year, for a tv show, I had to play pool with Alain Martel, one of the best pool player in the world. I didn't make a single shot and I misscued a couple of times so don't worry about this. I only got good comments from people that were usualy not talking to me... You'll be famous after that ! If you have problem with french, I can help you.

ok guys here's the story, i was planning on going, so i contacted the tv station, they said i could enter the preliminary rounds and that i could get selected for the tv show.
but today they called back and said it was a missunderstanding, apparently they were in search of only 1 trickshot player who could give a show on tv for about 8 minutes. and they chose vincent facquet...
i'm really bummed about it. i was all psyched and ready to go compete but that's all gone now lol. oh well, i guess if i just keep practicing my day will come.
thx for the support guys.
