In an incredible display of skill, focus, and confidence, American basketball influencer Tristan Jass has set a new Guinness World Record for the longest basketball shot made while blindfolded, achieving a distance of 22.51 meters (73 feet 10.2 inches).
The record-breaking moment took place at an indoor sports arena in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where official Guinness adjudicators were present to verify the attempt. The crowd erupted in cheers as the ball arced perfectly through the air, swishing cleanly through the hoop — all without Tristan seeing the basket.
Tristan, known for his viral trick shots and creative basketball videos on social media, described the moment as one of the highlights of his career. “I’ve made a lot of crazy shots over the years, but doing it blindfolded — that’s another level,” he said after his successful attempt. “This record means a lot because it shows what practice, patience, and a little faith can do.”
The challenge required extreme precision, spatial awareness, and muscle memory. Guinness officials confirmed that multiple cameras, measurements, and witnesses were used to ensure complete accuracy and fairness.
Fans around the world have followed Tristan Jass’s journey from a high school basketball player to one of the most recognized digital sports personalities, with millions of followers on platforms like YouTube and Instagram. His creative trick shots and positive energy have made him a global ambassador for the sport.
Sports analysts praised the feat as both entertaining and technically impressive. Shooting a basketball accurately from more than 70 feet away — while blindfolded — requires elite-level coordination and consistency.
Following the announcement, Tristan shared a motivational message on social media:
“Don’t let fear blindfold your goals — focus, believe, and take the shot.”
The Guinness World Records organization congratulated Jass on the official record, noting that it represents “the perfect mix of athletic skill and showmanship that inspires millions of young athletes worldwide.”
