 Johl
started playing pool as a young child, and at age 12, he was a star Aussie rules
footballer, and junior Motorcross champion. He was forced to choose between
his three favorite sports at a young age, and his love of pool took over as
his number one interest. So he embarked on a professional cue-sport career.
Johl became Australian junior 8-ball, 9-ball and Snooker Champion a few
years later. He then went on to become a professional Snooker player for 7 years.
Johl later turned his hand at 9-ball and he became the best Australian
player, winning the Australian 8-ball and 9-ball champs.
Later in Australia, he earned a spot in the World 9-ball in Cardiff, Wales
and was and was narrowly defeated, by a 13-11 score line. Johl developed
a growing frustration with cue-sports in general, with the prize money that
was constantly decreasing in the UK.
