If you’re into athletic trick shots but you’ve never seen Max Hilty’s brand of magic, prepare to witness the bar being raised before your very eyes.

Max, 28, from Colorado works as an assistant golf pro in a pro shop as well as giving lessons, but in his spare time his myriad other sporting talents are allowed to shine.

For example, here’s a trick shot where Max’s skateboard skills meet his basketball prowess.

“When I played basketball my coaches used to get mad at me for attempting behind-the-back passes and half-court shots in games!

“It wasn’t until two years ago though that I actually started trying to make trick shot videos.

“It really wasn’t until a couple of months ago that I started incorporating different sports other than golf into my trick shot videos.

“Before long I found out that I was still very capable in my past athletic endeavours and that almost any sport combination was possible!”

“If people can’t believe that what you pulled off is real you know you must be doing something right!

“Most of the non-believers thought it was impossible to get a soccer ball to do what I did with a golf club.

“What most people don’t realise is that I had to manipulate my swing to get the ball to pop up in the air like it did.

“For anyone wishing to attempt this type of shot in the future I must advise you to use a 60 degree wedge with an open face to swing a sever cut right underneath the ball.

“If you go out there and try to hit a soccer ball with a normal golf swing you will end up hurting you wrists and the ball won’t go very far!”

“In the meantime I will try to continue to have fun coming up with new trick shot ideas that I have never seen done before, and that I think people will enjoy watching!” he said.
