Summary

Florian "Venom" Kohler received a six-foot pool table for his 18th birthday in Eastern France and, with nothing but a 56K internet connection and Mike Massey's book, taught himself every trick shot from the last 100 years in two years. Then he got bored and started inventing his own. At 22, he moved to the US with no money and told his parents to give him six months. Fifteen years, 13 Guinness World Records, and nearly 3 billion views later, he's the reigning world trick shot champion, an APA division operator in Las Vegas, and one of the most recognizable names in billiards. We discuss why having no instructor meant having no limitations, the speed-over-power secret behind his stroke, why he changes cue balls constantly, what trick shots actually teach you about real pool, and his controversial take on why the sport needs to leave hustling culture behind.
