What’s in the BAG / With Ko PinYi

[@Arthur-nr5ci]

So glad he's making a comeback after covid, he seems like a genuinely great guy.

[@dsauce223]

Agree, I love both of the Ko's.

[@MicappellaGohMingwei]

all 3 of them are incredible human!

[@shortydancer]

Dude I love the Ko brothers. Big Ko seems like a class act. Always rooting for him.

[@kats1190]

The “Holy Cross” cue, a regular price (if regular can ever be the right word for such a custom. Probably average is better) of 15-18k dollars. Ko’s cue is decorated with golden details which of course dramatically raises the price. If I am not mistaken conical tapered ahafts, 12.5 x-pro is little lower deflection than their standard (ZEN) maple shaft. To my knowledge of course. Gorgeous gem for the Taiwanese typhoon. Congrats champ

[@redoxred5588]

Just to add on a little bit, the Holy Cross （十字飞翼）with 40 points has a standard price of 80,000 RMB in China, which is roughly around 11k usd. Currently, Zen has 6 different types of shafts, 2 of which is dedicated to american pool, the XPro (with a more pro taper) at 12.5mm and the 95 (akin to old school Southwest shafts) at 13mm. There are 3 more dedicated to chinese 8 ball, the 83, CQ and AR, at 12mm, 11.5 and 11mm respectively. The newest shaft that came out is the XQ, a hybrid shaft that can work on both american and chinese pool, with the slimmest pro taper yet so far from Zen, and a tip diameter of 12mm. Zen cues also adapt a practice commonly done in mainland china, which is adding a taper to the ferrule as well. Most of their shafts (excluding the american pool shafts) has a taper from the beginning of the ferrule to the tip, where the 83 has the most severe taper, 12.6mm at the beginning of the ferrule to 12mm at the tip.

[@trichotillomaniac1959]

He said $30,000; around double the price

[@dthelasthairblender]

Wow $30,000 for a cue! Awesome. You asked all the right questions about the cues.

[@johnnyroc]

Wow I had no idea he was so polite and humble. Watching his matches always thought he’d have a totally different personality.

[@squeegied3rdeye713]

[@ryletabor6844]

Ko Pin Yi seems like a very nice person, I'm not even mad that he beat my fellow filipinos in the asian 9 ball tournament.

[@jeffbreedlove7437]

He puts his own tips on his 30k cue? Wow. A true professional.

[@Strokey12]

I'd have to hire security if I was carrying around a $30,000 cue! Lol. Absolutely gorgeous cue and the gold inlays are immaculate. I would be scared traveling with that cue! Thanks for the videos Karl!

[@KarlBoyesPoolLife]

No worries thanks for watching

[@mr.s1961]

We understand, poverty is real for you. But not for everyone else.

[@ilhaml4885]

finally, we need more videos like this... it also help some amateurs to compare with same type style of play, especially cues and tip. Keep it up karl..

[@KarlBoyesPoolLife]

They are coming 💪🏻

[@djdang6666]

Please do more of these. These are so much fun to watch

Seems like a real nice fella- super talented too!

[@johndenver752]

My goodness, what a beautiful cue! The details on it look so nice. Must feel so good "wielding" such a beautiful "weapon". Ko seems like a really nice guy, humble, quiet and deadly on the pool table. Cheers for this "what's in the case" series Gov, really nice to get a glimpse of what the big boys carry with them to tournaments. Also you sold me on the JFlowers JF10 - 10F...its gonna be my next purchase, really nice cue especially for the price its available at, and now the white sighting ferrule bit is available too, for an extra 15 usd... Keep up the great work and I cant wait to hear your commentary for the Mosconi Cup 2022, it starts tomorrow...GO TEAM EUROPE! (even though i'm excited to see Earl back in action, the US has a very strong team this year).

[@mingqiubao2776]

Can't agree more. Ko's playinig cue is more like an art collection. All the golden decoration is actual gold and all the white is real ivory. It's like holding an average sedan every time when playing, so crazy omg

[@Tjseabolt]

Love seeing these videos. Catch up with Josh roberts one day and make a video when you are back in the states

What’s the tip diameter of Ko’s jump cue?

[@BooksNGuns]

I just became a fan of this family all because of the little brother. I watched him in a final (i think) where the man didn't miss a fuggin shot. He forced me to be a fan after that. I wish i could remember what the tournament was and the opponent.

[@elmagnificent]

Great Interview Karl.Second cue i see in my life that cost 30k..after the one we saw at German Open.

[@Andrewbag6]

I just started watching the “what’s in the bag” shorts, and it’s fascinating to see their gear! I think it would be hilarious if he went into a random pool hall and did a what’s in the bag with folks at my level “bangers” lol. I bet there’d be some funny stuff in the novice’s cue cases

[@davebedwell4323]

Love your "What's in the Bag" videos! Please keep em coming! I love that Ko uses a $30k cue for an everyday player & his bag looks like canvas, lol. How will anyone ever top this? One thing you don't ask is the brand / type / material of bags they use, (although I did hear you once ask someone if their bag was a 4x8). Karl, do you still enter the big events, or strictly commentating & vids? Long time subber / subscriber hear

[@BooksNGuns]

All these pros out here playing with sponsored cues. This guy has his own cues. Am i understanding that correctly? If so, i hope his brand blows up. I hope the product starts being sold in the US and becomes successful. I can't believe there aren't pros with their own company.
