Welcome to TrickShotTim.com.  I'm Tim Chin, aka "The Dragon", a world-ranked trick shot artist and entertainer, currently based in the Boston, MA area.  Whether you're a player, a fan, or just want to learn more about artistic pool, I hope you find my site fun, educational, and entertaining and can use it as a great trick shot resource.

 

I want to promote artistic pool, show you some of my amazing tricks, and help you learn how to do a shot or two.  I'll post videos of my favorite shots, give instructional tips and pointers, and maybe show you a couple of things you might not have seen on a pool table before. I am available for exhibitions and events looking for cool, fun, unique, and exciting entertainment or instruction. Please contact me for more details.

 

Enjoy your visit and check back often for updates! Rack 'em, rock 'em, and roll 'em!
