Michael Shields, a recent TikToker on the app, with the handle, “Thatll.Work,” posts a viral trick shot with a tissue paper roll and a golf ball as props.

If you want your dose of exciting trick shots, there are tons available on the internet, most famously by Dude Perfect. They have created a brand out of their Youtube channel, including their own merchandise. But on TikTok, you won’t find many users who are creating content specifically on trick shots. 

This is where Michael Shields steps in. Michael Shields, a relatively new TikToker on the famous platform, entered the game somewhere around April of 2020. With the world battling Covid-19 – under strict quarantine conditions – Michael started posting his eye-popping trick shot clips. 

“Thatll.Work,” is a befitting name to Michael’s TikTok account, because even though he posts trick shots, they don’t always come out perfect. Furthermore, he integrates humor into his clips, including his failed attempts that he shares as well alongwith the rest. 

This seems to be working quite well for him, as he has gained a massive following of 1.4 million people, within a year. While watching his clips, you can quickly figure out his athletic background, as all his videos revolve around sports. The most common ones that best portray his versatility are baseball, basketball, tennis and golf. 

Speaking of golf, one of his videos, that went viral, revolves around it. Tons of golf balls, a club and a tissue paper roll, are all Michael used, in attempting this trick shot, making the TikTok community go berserk in awe of his sheer brilliance. 

Looking at the TikTok, you can see the extreme difficulty of the shot and the energy required to maintain patience at consistent levels. The tissue paper roll seems to be surrounded in a pool of golf balls, but Michael doesn’t give up until he gets it right. 

Maybe after a gazillion attempts, Michael finally lands the ball through the tissue paper roll, and goes crazy with excitement, when he finally accomplishes the feat. This somewhat makes one emotional after witnessing his hard-fought victory. 

With more than 4.5 million likes, 13,000 comments, it is easily one of the best trick shots you can find not just on TikTok, but on the internet. Furthermore, over 20,000 people have shared the video on various social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter and Whatsapp, highlighting the shot’s popularity. 

For future TikTokers who want to step into the realm of trick shots, bear in mind, it is not easy, and Michael Shields is a witness to it. It requires hard work, patience, tons of energy and a brilliant mind that constantly churns new ideas.
