Career
Kohler started watching exhibition videos online and trying to imitate shots in them. His influences include Mike Massey and Semih Sayginer. He began experimenting with his own versions of trick shots, and eventually developed many new concepts, such as ball jumping, massé-ing with multiple cues simultaneously, executing jump and massé shots on moving balls, and executing very high jumps.
He has set a record for highest jump shot on a moving ball, at 23 inches.
Kohler assisted in the development of the Mezz massé cue, which is specially designed to execute trick shots. Kohler has stated that he is a black belt in judo.
