The most humble and respectful player in pool. Melling and Woodward are up there when it comes to a perfect representation of pool. Love watching Melling play. Very unique style. Congratulations signing with Cuetec. They've come a long way and love all their products.

[@Normastitz18]

Agreed both always have positive attitude and are fun to watch

[@Kierron85]

I came to make the same comparison with Skyler. Pair of absolute gents!

[@nakkadu]

Compared to someone like Jayson Shaw it's just night and day

Love this series

[@karlboyes7844]

Thanks

[@terryschaad4286]

Behind the scenes with my favorite European player and commentator. Good show, gentlemen!

[@karlboyes7844]

Legend thanks

[@samuelriverajr8495]

Big fan of Chris here.

[@chadhutsell8847]

Love these. Thanks Karl. What a fun and nice guy Chris is. Also an amazingly talent player to be competitive across so many cue sports. That is really amazing

[@andrewhoeft2710]

My goodness.... Melling is such a treat! Great job, Karl.... Thanks bloke🤘😎.

[@tuffstuff0745]

The Marty Carry can jump with just the shaft. The butt of the cue was made only to make the cue meet the requirements of different leagues and that. Couple of my teammates bought them when we went to Vegas last year and they work well and he teaches you how to use it.

[@barboxshooter1829]

I’ve been thinking about someone to refer in the comments and then you drop this one! Awesome! Keep ‘em coming!

[@bertblue9683]

I'm always surprised how fast these 9-11 minute videos go by. A testament to how interesting and fascinating it is. Love this series

[@karlboyes7844]

Cheers 🍻

[@HillbillyIslandLife]

One of my favorite players! Great commentator and even better guy!

[@j.m.3752]

CM is so jolly. Great video!

[@Tjseabolt]

One of my favorite to watch on KZbin awesome stuff sir. Would like to see make a what’s in Karl’s bag video

[@M.Mae.M]

Great video as always Karl. Would love to hear how often each of these pros retips their cue.

[@kx454]

Always rooted for Melling, great stroke. Now seeing that he is a super nice guy...I hope he wins everything

[@bw4593]

Love the honesty “so you’re gong to play with it if you like it” “well I’m going to play with it anyway that was the agreement” . I know English pool and and snooker are very steeped in tradition, but I feel like the nature of snooker and English pool with the small pockets and need for consistent cueing a really slim carbon shaft really makes sense! Especially with how long those guys like to shoot with the same cue for decades. Maybe cuetec needs to come out with a one piece wood but and carbon shaft? 😂

[@karlboyes7844]

Possibly agree hahaha

[@exscalliber]

This is the video I’ve been waiting for, ever since I heard about Chris melting moving to cuetec and prototyping a new shaft for English 8 ball. I’ve been dying to hear the diameter of the tip. Now that we have an idea of the prototype 9mm shaft it’s getting me excited. I know a lot of people currently using a 11.8 carbon shafts for those small balls and tables so there’s definitely a market out there for them!

[@donovanhaas7315]

In America, I play snooker and pool, and I so like the feel of the snooker cue that I use it to play 9ball. The 9.5 tip works fine and the Euro taper is nice and stiff.

[@TheBilliardCorner]

Been waiting for this one!

[@MrVocalist101]

great behind the scenes, guys. chris seems like a proper stand up dude and him and karl rolled off each other perfectly......enjoyed that one a lot.

[@NewmanVisual]

I love this dude, hope to meet him someday

[@finiansheffield764]

Smart!! Keep up the great vids!!

[@hakkodjango76]

Hello Karl, if you have the opportunity please make a video like this with Francisco (Django) Bustamante 😉 Great thing with Chris and a great jumper ;)

[@nickp4793]

These videos are great! Is there any way you can figure out how to get their head's and the cues in the frame at the same time? Maybe have the players sit in a chair while unloading their cases and showing the cues on the table?

[@jamesmcdevitt5327]

The ultimate series is great on a Monday . The stars what are about reminds me of the 80s snooker stars

[@johnfallen]

TOTALLY AWESOME!

[@richardbarnes4432]

❤❤❤ 😮 It from the time I met you at the US Open your personality was infectious and I can see that you’re made for TV 📺 since you dropped the cues you have a few more to go but keep up the good work

[@lanternman13]

Chris Melling is a true magician.

[@z52413]

so cool tiny jump cues

[@berserker13f]

Awesome guy! 🤙🏽

[@masterdurick5667]

I'm tempted to get a Marty Carey jump cue now imagine that after this video that becomes the status quo of budget jump cues 😂😂😂

[@Tom-sd5ru]

Melling one of the coolest dudes in billiards. We need more of him

[@HillbillyIslandLife]

U r great at what u do Karl

[@brettsmith9910]

Great video

[@PrinceDepecheMode]

Thanks.,.. appreciate these videos,

[@karlboyes7844]

My pleasure!

[@edwardholyk7046]

A humble pool play with a sense of humor is Chris Melling

[@aaronbriley28]

did i catch a mention of "not needing as responsive of a tip shooting on smaller table" this intrigues me and i ask what is meant by this? and is this also due to the smaller diameter tips? is it more beneficial to use a smaller diameter tip?

[@razvanspataru7228]

The magician Melling!

[@mosesng6050]

I wonder if you’ll do the “What’s in my case” video for Tanvee Vallem?

[@dhirajpallin2572]

Hey Karl, random question. Do you know anything about the Chinese 8 Ball Masters Grand Final? I noticed there are 0 snooker players in it this year, and 0 Americans and very few English considering the strength of pool in England. Is it rigged to increase the likelhood of Chinese victory? Good to see Melling made it in though.

[@selectornick3215]

Hi Karl! Can you please review the new predator-one shaft vs avid shaft 😁

[@Iwbenny]

Chris Melling aka the Magician 😊

[@poolsicario5882]

The jump cue ferrule is g10 tip ferrule combo

[@williamalberto4284]

Does someone know the butt end dimensions of the cue?(28,29,30mm) just wonder how thick are the cuetec cynergy series)

[@johntogher7356]

favourite pool player

[@72c20]

Cuetec expanding the team. Nice

[@Khaos_1325]

Really interested to know if Cutec will release that 9mm shaft to the public later.

[@mikechek5352]

another great video..I seen the silly guys who are supposed pool influencers here in the states are having a tournament contest with 68 companies and you were left off..I thought that was ashame because you have great content but after further seeing how goofy it is and the niche crowd there going for its ok..As matchroom was beat by that greg hogue guy as most imoportant for pool and of course there person stuff is winning against others I realized its laughable ..what a joke...But Karl you bring insight on a personal of the players and your humor is top notch .Keep up the good work.

[@karlboyes7844]

Thank you for your post Mike appreciate it 👍🏼😍

[@slipstroke4357]

They must be good influencers if you’re talking about them LOL! I’ve seen you a lot in streams you seem to love to TALK about things you don’t like haha. Your panties are always in a twist. The great show you mentioned is called “doggin it” by the way. Have a nice day you big baby

[@migueldelacruz2213]

James Aranas Whats in the bag next yt vid please 🤞🏻

[@Mark-fu2lq]

Hey since kamui is his sponsor he needs to try this new kamui chalk called kageki its for extreme English shots and masse and jumps shots I just got some and I have to say it's badass it does make a little mark on the cueball but not that bad though

[@karlboyes7844]

I will look into that

[@TheBilliardMarine]

Would love to see you do some female players. I’m interested in what Seo Seoa and Chieh Chou play with. Especially Chou’s Ferrel.

[@waylandquiaoit3871]

I bet u could do efren reyes next from this series

[@theresjustnotellingfpv4822]

Did he say what brand shaft was the 10.5mm?

[@karlboyes7844]

All cuetec

[@zanethind]

Only now if Efren can be on this series

[@onidravaz]

When are we getting some new videos@!

[@jann326]

Everyone seems to use softcases nowadays. I thought hard cases were preffered.

[@redbird7775]

What would be the reason that you could only play with the one Cue in China and the other everywhere else? Contract?

[@AngrierGorilla]

from what he said, yes it looks like that

[@Flackbox]

Here's the crazy jump shot Chris was talking about: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXOXpHyHfLp8pck

[@seanscanlon9067]

3:14 I would say about 15 stone or so.

[@richardbarnes4432]

I wonder if you can do a cameo appearance with Samm Diop the first female to do this series with the cheesy opening music

[@stuartphillips822]

Played him in a exhibition years ago, I made the mistake of not breaking off.

[@nyquil07na38]

Cuetec making moves.

[@Tedsterlab]

1st comment.... ✌️

[@sargentomor4019]

It’s funny that all Cuetec players carry a lot of shafts lol.

[@ianw5464]

More shafts than the YMCA sauna

[@frazierg0325]

It would be nice if Cuetec made american pool butts that looked as good as the chinese butt.

[@aousruke1834]

Is he calling you Paul? 😂

[@waylandquiaoit3871]

Don't tell me if melling had a 147 once or not?

[@ELI-nh8oy]

I’m a big fan of Chris Melling but to call him a magician? I think that name belongs to the GOAT Efren “Bata” Reyes.

[@9ball709]

nice cuetec, the chinese :V

[@PostUp_Time]

*LOL IF HE PULLED OUT A CUETEC SVB MODEL. CUETEC 9MM CHINESE 8 BALL MODEL, CHINA ONLY, INTERESTING*

[@yutuberboy]

Great guy BUT I ABSOLUTELY HATE A JUMP CUE. Jump shot should be done with your regular playing cue instead

[@dannypowell594]

Chris and Karl both have great energy and I'd imagine that they're both hilarious to be around

[@TicTac2]

Anyone think Karl Boyes sounds just like Rick Shiels?

[@mrkfsn]

Where's the one piece snooker cue he used to travel to the US with back in the day when he had long hair and a 32" waist? hahaha just kidding

[@karlboyes7844]

Hahaha

[@mrkfsn]

@@karlboyes7844 See if you can get a photo of that, Karl. I remember seeing him in a photo on AZB skinny and long hair with a one piece snooker cue at the US Open. 99.9% sure it was Melling.

[@arnelpijuan7618]

Karl show the cue sticks while Chris is talking. We want to see his equipments not his tummy.

[@karlboyes7844]

His tummy is nice hahaha

[@thacasualpoolplaya]

did Chris get new teeth

[@Spyro-]

yep

[@bigbenyc]

Am I the only one who noticed how straight his teeth are? Forget about the cues, who's your dentist?

[@coltenmaxey4429]

The guy filming is rude asf

[@TheBradbeeson]

Do one of a player that is not sponsored by cue tec or predator. So boring.

[@karlboyes7844]

Like the one of ko pin yi

[@jiddon3446]

If any player is worthy of the name 'magician' it's Melling

[@ghettoasfuckxp]

Efren is The Magician, Chris is great tho!

[@jiddon3446]

@@ghettoasfuckxp Agree but Melling is the closest to Efren in his knowledge of angles and crazy shot making

[@ghettoasfuckxp]

@@jiddon3446 i dont think anyones ever close to efrens skill tho, respectfully, efrens prime was in the 70’s, its crazy to think about how great he was in the 70’s considering the fact hes the greatest cuiest of all time even if the first video of him playing pool was in 87/88

[@thomasmabbott6842]

Marty Carey jump cues are awesome! I can get a cue sent out to you for a review if you want from the man himself @karlboyes 😊

[@haroldb6773]

Still can’t believe Karl said “titty hooked” on Sky

[@karlboyes7844]

Hahaha

[@ghettoasfuckxp]

I respect Chris he’s definitely a great player, but the nickname “The Magician” belongs only to the greatest cueist of all time, Efren Reyes.

[@xanh350]

Whats the fuss about jumping in poool? its the most ridiculous invention ever....even kids can jump with that shortie, please remove it from the game?
