Zan Hybrid max tip is a medium/hard tip. Just for anyone who is considering getting one. The top layer is medium and the core and bottom of the tips is hard. It does get harder the more you use it as the tip wears down. I would recommend going with the regular Zan tip in a medium softness for most players.
fyi that is not the way ZAN describes their own Hybird tip. The center of the tip is softer than the outer of the tip. Your description, if the hardness of the tip is always changing as you use it, you will always have inconsistency in shots. Many Pros on this Whats in Bag Series use the ZAN Hybrid. From ZAN Hybrid: gives the player the power of a Hard, grip of a Medium, and control of a Soft all in one. Duro Numerical Value: 90.8 Mixed Hog and Pig Leather
The weight of the cue forces him to play more loose with the back hand. Because of that carbon produces more energy in almost all shots. In my opinion, he understands carbon more than any player at the moment.
@@PostUp_Time I've used Elk Master, Thoroughbred, Peri Hawkeye II and will slap on a Tiger Emerald on my new shaft. They all play well... but. I do assume. Technology also goes into it and quality costs. A Toyota and Ferrari got two different prices and they both get your from point A to B. But. There's still a difference.
@@Passarinho86 c'mon toyota and a ferrari? we are talking miniscule pieces of leather. a $3 tip used by the greatest players in the game with excellent results since you brought it up, just sayin, a toyoata for an everyday car, winter, snow, rain,, etc. will outlast a ferrari.
I have replaced all of my shifts with this tip about a year ago. I can't say enough good things about them. They just last for a really long time and don't require hardly any maintenance. That is all I require out of a tip.
What a cool guy! And thanks for asking about tip hardness. 22oz playing cue?!?! What a baller. Can't wait to see more. Thanks again, Carl for the content and laughs!
Great video and awesome player. My cue is the P3 + 11.8 REVO, and I play with the 12-inch extension on. I also have max weight, so 22oz. I use the same break cue at stock setup.
Hey Karl, how do these guys that travel a lot transport their cues? Carry on, check in baggage? or Shipping? Do they have a special cue case cover to protect them? thx.
I was really hoping you would ask about the rumor that he's being asked to play the revo vs his favorite wood shaft everyone talks about. Seems comfortable with the revo but would have loved to here his take or see the reaction. Cool guy for sure.
that was filler. yes, kind of weird that filler would win a few tourneys with revo, change to z3 wood shaft and win just about everything with the z3, and then abandon it for the same spec revo he had before. but idk.
I bet Earl refuses, just like he refuses a hug from the Chinese player who beat him, shame on Earl, although It will be fun to know what is all those stuffs he uses on his cues.
Really, really hard not to like this guy. A phenomenal talent and great ambassador for the game. And the way he shows such love and respect for his parents, confirms what a class act he is. Thanks for sharing this video, Karl!
It's impossible not to love and appreciate FSR. His personality and passion for the game, and what he has done over this past 16 or whatever months is nothing short of amazing. Cool dude and class act...
You should frame the glove and put the pics of the tournaments he won surrounding that glove. The fact he is willing to just give you his winning glove cause you asked what else is in the case. Man this dude is something else. That picture of him and his father and the trinkets his mother gave him shows how important is is to have a GOOD SUPPORT SYSTEM Love this kids attitude on life and Pool. Way to go FSR!!!
It is very important to support and encourage your childrens dreams. But also encourage everyone, adults the same, who want to venture out to try something. Unfortunately never happened for me, so believe me its important.
without great support and encouragement we would not have all the junior pool players playing as professionals today, so quickly. Kudos to the sponsorships for these kids as well
He seems such a cool guy! There are some players that seem a bit arrogant or something. It may be game face or what ever but still. And then there are guys like Oi and FSR. A perfect ambassador for the sport.
Looks like the newer BK Rush tempest. The grey is sweet. I got it without the wrap and love it. I also got the 19oz and took 0.5 out. I tried it heavier and lighter and it just feels so smooth at 18.5. However i didn’t like the Predator tip and it even sheared off about a month after purchase. Got a Samsara hard tip and it hits like a beast.
FSR can definitely afford 2-3 Revo shafts while waiting a week or more by sending his main one back to an "authorized" predator company to be re-tipped. I'm sure predator takes care of him, so he probably get it faster. Only reason I won't ever use predator, I play too much pool for all the downtown needed for a retip
I'm sure predator gives him probably $5K per year worth of free equipment because it only cost them $1K in materials. In addition, they probably pay him $25K sponsorship yearly money to use their cues. Just a wild guess, but Efren Reyes commented on the many cue companies that were contacting him to use their cues.
I don't understand that the video is about cues and you are showing a man's face for more than 3 quarter of the time??? It's the same for your other Cue series too?? I am not here to see someone's face LOL. This camera work is terribly disgusting.
I could be wrong but it looks like his leather wrap is elephant ear cause of how smooth looking it is. Surprised to see he is just playing an IKON and not the Panthera or Jacoby ltd edition. As always, thanks Karl for the video.
I think you’re right with Elephant ear leather, unless it is Spanish Bull pattern - hard to tell with how smoothed out it is. EE has small textured dots in it, gives it a very soft feel.
For those who can't understand, I believe he is saying the tip is a "Zan hybrid max." I recently switched too it and it's an amazing tip. It's soft on outside for when you need English and hard in the middle when you don't. Never thought I'd switch from kamui and tiger but I'm sold with Zan. I'm far from being sponsored by anyone. Just my honest opinion.
I met him in Buchurest Romania last year, we had a good time, such a pure spirit and such a big love, amazing guy. Not surprised with that attitude that he is in highest class. 😀 Rly good energy!
Unbelievable dude. The best player in the world according to you gives you a kind gift and you immediately tell him you are going to raffle it away for views, ratings, subs and monitized payouts. How insulting to him and how embarrassing for you and your character.
Relax pal I’ve never raffled anything off and kept money if you check the channel out you will see I’ve give everything away for free so get your facts right before chirping up
@@KarlBoyesPoolLife So he gives you a gift and you tell him to his face youre going to give it away. Thats much better right? Get a clue, "pal". When someone gives you a gift you value it out of kindness and respect. What are you, four years old. Your mother didnt teach you manners or common decency and respect?
Kind of hate that he gave you that special glove and you instantly said you were going to give it away on the channel. Feel like maybe you should have kept it. Otherwise he wouldn’t have given it to you I don’t think lol. Awesome video though and love this guy
Good video BoxOffice!! ❤ The series! Keep em coming buddy. FSR is such nice, fun & seemingly genuine dude. The guy is always smiling. One hell of a player too!!! An excellent ambassador for the game.
If pool ever make it to the Olympics while he's still hot, can you just see the feel good story? His dad pic on the case, mom's good luck charms & the lucky towel. That's good TV moment
I’ve asked Predator about getting one of their cues changed from Uniloc to Radial and they said they don’t do that. Well, his Icon comes in Uniloc sooooo.
@@Poolside_Chat you have to get in touch with a reputable cue maker/repairer. Mine is Uniloc which I have no problems with, people are just dense and don’t know to give it a nice solid twist when you put it together. Predator will not change any of the pins on their cues. It has to be done by a 3rd party.
@@suislump absolutely. But for him, I guarantee Predator did it themselves. Either way, I love my 9K-3 and Uniloc isn’t an issue. When I go custom, radial all the way.
Karl you seem intrigued that he preps his cue tip everyday. I do as well, and think everyone should for a consistent shot. I burnish with Kamui leather and shape with a Willard's daily, using a medium tip. I did more on a soft elkmaster tip as they don't hold shape as good
Omg I loooooove what’s in the bag!! Your videos also showcase their personalities, which I also love! I had no idea Francisco was such a sweet man. Hard to read someone just watching them in matches! He seems so genuine and humble. Two traits I love. I also loved that he had little keepsakes/good luck charms from his family and the picture of him and his father brought a tear to my eye. 😢 How would be know these things about these people without videos like this? Now I’m a huge FSR fan! 🥰 I’d love for you to come out with a series just interviewing players for around 10-15 minutes or so, just about their lives in general, also about their career journeys. Sort of a “Get to know this player” type series. You’d be perfect for this, Karl! Your great, outgoing personality and voice is amongst the best! Please keep these great videos coming! Can’t get enough of them! ❤

@@atheistchristpuncher I think Taom Fusion is similar.

Fair statement like it 👏🏼
the future of pool is very bright with this guy at the head of it.
Agreed 👍
I love how he flashes his smile during games. Looks like somebody who really loves the game.
Right, and very very boring.
@@joneslaakso most people disagree with you friend
@@joneslaaksowhy?
Great guy and great interview. He deserves all the success he's had so far.
Might have to try the Zan Hybrid max. Everyone I know who uses it has nothing but positive things to say about it.
He said, Zan Hybrid Max.
Also, heard it's good but, will go w Tiger for now. Currently using Thoroughbred.
A little correction. Zan hybrid max is not soft tip. Its like medium to medium hard. Just for your refference. 🙏
@@PostUp_Time I've used Elk Master, Thoroughbred, Peri Hawkeye II and will slap on a Tiger Emerald on my new shaft.

So true!
I'd love to win the glove! Fsr has grown to become my favorite player, he's a class a act!
Great video and awesome player. My cue is the P3 + 11.8 REVO, and I play with the 12-inch extension on. I also have max weight, so 22oz. I use the same break cue at stock setup.
Cool, I use a Predator Ikon 4-1 with a 11.8 revo with 4"extension full time. Weight 22 oz.
Thank you Karl and Francisco!
Did FSR now sign with cuetech? Interested to see his new layout..
Yes video coming soon
He might be the happiest pool player ever- and I’ve known a lot of pool players
Hey Karl, how do these guys that travel a lot transport their cues? Carry on, check in baggage? or Shipping? Do they have a special cue case cover to protect them? thx.
Some players have big ski bags and just put them inside, also a bag for there case and just check it in
So likeable. Vamos, FSR!
22 oz playing cue 😳 wow that’s heavy
I know right 👀
Im playing 22oz now and I feel it's the perfect weight for me. It depends on ur feeling
Is it normal to be indecisive between cues? One day I like my revo and the next I like my 314. Is it coming to go through this?
Yeh I think so
@@KarlBoyesPoolLife you’ve had this issue?
he is probably trying to say "Zan Hybrid Max"
"oh I've not heard of that"
I wanna be a part of the raffle! I need that glove
Bravo FSR..👏🏽
Seems like a really good dude. 👍🏻
I was really hoping you would ask about the rumor that he's being asked to play the revo vs his favorite wood shaft everyone talks about. Seems comfortable with the revo but would have loved to here his take or see the reaction. Cool guy for sure.

Filler that not Fran 😀
I was very curious about what pin he uses, and as I expect he uses radial pin.
You cant raffle a gift 😂😂😂
What’s going on with his wrap?
Did you understand he was saying Zan - Hybrid Max Karl? Certainly took me a couple tries 😅 lol
Didn’t have a clue hahaha
@@KarlBoyesPoolLife lmao 🤣
Premier League 2023 champ, you could have waited one day to say that Karl
I always hate when he won, but after watch this, become his fan 😎
Good to hear, 👍🏼
Class act.
We need Earl on one of these 😂
I tried lol
@@KarlBoyesPoolLife aw man 😂 can’t wait for the next one, I love these kind of vids
@@KarlBoyesPoolLife Id love to hear him explain the history behind the long cue and now the 15mm or so tip
I bet Earl refuses, just like he refuses a hug from the Chinese player who beat him, shame on Earl, although It will be fun to know what is all those stuffs he uses on his cues.
What would he use if he wasn't sponsored? That's the question
Is that 20 grand worth of cues!?
Seems like a salt of the earth guy. Parents did well.
3:12 Spanish Bull Leather?
😂 hope not lol
Fransisco is Francisco
Fedor uses Cuetec
Best pool player on the planet? You got to be kidding.. Please watch some chinese pool players like Zheng Yubo, Chu Bingjie or Zhao Ruliang
Different sport !
@@KarlBoyesPoolLife much much harder sport
Season of dreams!
How can anyone dislike this guy. Top man.
What a guy. Role model for all the young guys in the sport.
such a humble guy, I will now be rooting for him 👍

Thanks for the comment bro
He seems like a genuinely nice guy. I look forward to watching his career.
Deserves everything, great attitude
Come on Karl we want to see their equipment not the player 😂😂

He probably knew it was elephant ear and didn't want to say being as it is surrounded by controversy.
Thanks buddy
Such a humble guy both in winning and losing (which seems to be rare these days). You have to have a cold heart to not like this guy
Get's offered a world winning glove and says he'll raffle it off?
I know I’ve changed my mind hahaha
lets do another one with the el ferrari since he changed to cuetec now 😂 cant wait
Is he using a Kamui Athlete right now anyone know?
Karl, give us more than a couple of quick glimpses of the gear... we already know what FSR looks like.
👍🏼
