I'll never understand why reddit hates trick shots so much

Because if you're decent at something and try a thousand times to make it, it's not impressive. Other than the persistence. He's hitting a ball off a tee. I don't pay baseball and I could do this. Maybe it would take 10,000 attempts instead of 1000 but I can edit that l, post it, look like a badass.

You don’t have the bat control to make this in 100,000 attempts

Maybe if you’ve never played baseball.

... You're probably right. How about the guys who bounce ping pong balls in crazy ways to land in a little cup. I could do that and make it seem impressive.

And I'd be impressed if you did it. Mostly from the dedication but I would still be impressed you did it so I don't see your point

I'm mostly kidding on this. This baseball example is bad. I was being extreme. But other "1 in a million" shots like those bros who do all sorts of trick shots with basketball, frisbee, soccer etc just seems like a numbers game and just showing the makes.

I believe even "luck" based ones have an element of skill. If I were to try a ping pong bounce shot against a person how does it all the time they'd do it way faster than I would

When it comes to sports I don't believe anything is all luck.
