Can Anyone Beat Mike Massey?

Me and Mike Massey Mike Massey is a nine time World Champion and also a mastermind in trick shots. You may have seen this man on ESPN or other professional tournaments therefore; you would know how great this man is for the sport of billards.

Mike came into my town tonight for a trick shot exhibition. He also offered chances to play against him as well as getting autographs. I played against him tonight and of course lost--just like everyone. Mike allowed me to take the first crack at the rack and let me break. Unfortunately, no balls had fallen. Mike came up to the table with easy of confidence and ran six of his balls in a row. He did miss on the seventh ball when he suprisingly did Massey's magic when he stroke the cue ball but his object ball had gotten hung up in a corner. Then, it was my last attempt to beat this pro and I had no shot available. So, I aimed down on my pool stick and tried to squeeze my ball passed his object ball that was hung up in the corner but never made it. I knew the game was over after I had missed and he won the game. As a great sportsman, he shook my hand and said, "Good Game!"

I admire his personality with the game of billards and interactive with the audience. He would set up trick shots and have audience participants try to execute the shot. Generally, the balls would have fall and you would hear a roar from the audience as each trick was executed perfectly. This is my second time I have ever met Mr. Massey, but from both times he presents has been enjoyable. Thank You, Mike!
