Ko bros are doing the right thing to have an academy of their own at this age. No only competing but sharing the knowledge as well. I am great supporter of KO bros. Go go KO!!!
@@KarlBoyesPoolLife It's pretty cool to hear from you Karl. Admired your game for years brother (except when you were beating us in the Mosconi, lol) Hope all is well.
i love ko pin yi. i have never played pool in my life but i love pool. the 2015 world cup of pool final match ko and chung won it was my 1st pool match watched on youtube. this is wholesome. thank you mr.karl...
Jeeeeezz 30k! welp if there were ridiculously expensive cues out there. World class players like Ko and his brothers are certainly the appropriate players to use them. Cool video.
Hey my man lovely video yet again. I love the Ko brother they are so down to earth and are amazing. Ko bag is stunning. He playing cue is so beautiful. Congrats to Ko on winning the Asian 9 ball this passed week. Saw the final yesterday. Bring on thr next event ( Us open pool I think) ? #MuchLove #HeyPoolFans #PoolLife
KPY is a top 5 player imho. I'll watch his matches vs Shaw, Filler, Gorst, Biado, Orcollo, Feijen. Good looking cue. I thought Shaw's cue was expensive.
nice interview wow on the cue , if i could create a cue Green Crystal into custom cue . Of you get chance meeting the woman check out Yuki Hiraguchi cue it nice ,
I saw jason shaw cue stick from your video. and my reaction was wowww.. US$.6.000. but, this Ko Pin Yi is RIDICILOUS INSANE !!! US$.30.000 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN BUY A BEAUTIFUL BRAND NEW CAR !!!!!!!
@@nolluseti indeed, from my experience zen shaft really depends on the wood of the specific shaft you own. For sure taper and ferrule size/weight will affect but as you mentioned it still is solid maple shaft so it can be abit random
modern custom cues have generally improved in shafs deflection, but in the best case senario they are medium-deflection. Recently I tried a Mike Lambros cue and the deflection was not bad at all. Oviously you can't compare with Mezz or Predator, but in those custom shafts often you have a beautiful hit.
@@KarlBoyesPoolLife Wow, that's great to hear....actually they have so much to share, it's kinda wasted that they are limited by their command of english.
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
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.
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!
Great video. Awesome that he's able to communicate in English a bit... His brother Ko Pin Chung knows zero English so i thought we would never have some kind of interview from them...
I've been playing with viking for awhile but use a different brand break cue. Cool to see top players using different brands. Most guys use all 1 sponsor.
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..
PinYi is a class act and an amazing shooter. Great video. And goodness gracious what a price tag on that cue. Used it well to win it all though! Great vid. Cheers
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
I joked about someday needing to carry a sharpie in my bag. I didn't see one in Ko's bag. He's for sure sharpie level. You need to send him a sharpie so he has one. ;)
Wow $30,000 for a cue! Awesome. You asked all the right questions about the cues.
So glad he's making a comeback after covid, he seems like a genuinely great guy.
Agree, I love both of the Ko's.
all 3 of them are incredible human!
He puts his own tips on his 30k cue? Wow. A true professional.
Ko bros are doing the right thing to have an academy of their own at this age. No only competing but sharing the knowledge as well. I am great supporter of KO bros. Go go KO!!!
Excellent commentating, you asked all the right questions... thank you
Thanks
Ko seems like a genuinely humble dude. Congratulations on your win! Salute from PH 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Yes he is super nice
@@KarlBoyesPoolLife Oh my gosh I got a like from Karl Boyes!!! 😁😁😁 Thank you sir ❤️🇵🇭
I'm a sucker for these videos. I know what is in a bag for the most part, yet I always watch them, lol. Thanks Ko!
Good hahaha
@@KarlBoyesPoolLife It's pretty cool to hear from you Karl. Admired your game for years brother (except when you were beating us in the Mosconi, lol) Hope all is well.
thanks dude ur getting good at these and bringing back nostalgia of the older videos of the same likeness... keep it up
Thanks
For 30k cues is nothing compare to what he already achieved. Lovely playing cue. Thanks for upload this kind of video Karl. Cheers
Thank you
i love ko pin yi. i have never played pool in my life but i love pool. the 2015 world cup of pool final match ko and chung won it was my 1st pool match watched on youtube. this is wholesome. thank you mr.karl...
No worries thanks for watching.
That Zen Cue is BEAUTIFUL ..I once had a Gena cue that looked similar ..they are great but boy they are not cheap
Please do more of these. These are so much fun to watch
I will promise
His playing cue is gorgeous
i love all the three brothers ! good ambassadors for our games
Great video once again, Karl. Would also be nice if you would’ve interviewed a few Filipinos. Cheers!
Thanks for the message
Jeeeeezz 30k! welp if there were ridiculously expensive cues out there. World class players like Ko and his brothers are certainly the appropriate players to use them. Cool video.
Gotta say I love the look of zen custom cues the most 😮💨
You no what I do too hahaha
We all have some expensive taste. Lol.
Gorgeous cue.
Brilliant looking cue. 😍👍🔥
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing player and his English is actually pretty good he can understand and speak well
Nice one Karl.. Been curious about his arsenal..
Felt like interrogation))
- Show playing cue!
- Ok, ok!
- Now break cue!
- Ok, ok, mister, I'm showing!
It was 😜
Great Interview Karl.Second cue i see in my life that cost 30k..after the one we saw at German Open.
Karl,
Can you please do "What's in the case" with Joshua Filler? please and Thanks...Good job.
That’s coming
Hey my man lovely video yet again. I love the Ko brother they are so down to earth and are amazing. Ko bag is stunning. He playing cue is so beautiful. Congrats to Ko on winning the Asian 9 ball this passed week. Saw the final yesterday. Bring on thr next event ( Us open pool I think) ? #MuchLove #HeyPoolFans #PoolLife
Thanks champ
@@KarlBoyesPoolLife welcome my man 💪🏻
Karl, I've commented a lot on your videos. I even asked for W.I.T.B. with Shane. But this has to be the best one to date
CONGRATZ KO IN RECENT ASIAN TOURNEY,!!! from ph!!!
KPY is a top 5 player imho. I'll watch his matches vs Shaw, Filler, Gorst, Biado, Orcollo, Feijen. Good looking cue. I thought Shaw's cue was expensive.
Such a beautiful cue!!
Incredible. $30000 cue. Better never let that leave his sight
He's like a typical Taiwanese, very nice guy
Karl, I'm trying to find those tips online. "How" tips seem to come up. Where can I order some "ko" tips?
I would message ko bro Instagram page they will help
Ride on 🤙
Cool guy, one of the best❤
Can you not interrupt him? He was about to explain why he doesn’t use a glove which I was very interested in hearing.
My bad ! His English is a struggle so didn’t think he could break out into reasons
Nice criticism, but he didn't really have to make the video either.
Thanks Karl for the content. Was rooting for ko.
It is because he has very dry hands, his palm doesn't sweat at all.
@@KarlBoyesPoolLife Thank you Karl. My comment was in no way meant to be disrespectful. Just a friendly observation.
No wonder Ko won the championship. He use the 30k cue
nice interview wow on the cue , if i could create a cue Green Crystal into custom cue . Of you get chance meeting the woman check out Yuki Hiraguchi cue it nice ,
Wasnt expecting 30000$ for the playing cue! You need a body guard!
Chill dude. 😎 helluva cue
Tell me Karl...why did you don't use gloves?
Too slippery
仁杆是可以訂做的像是你想要鑲嵌金銀珍貴金屬在你的撞球杆上面還有象牙貝殼這類的昂貴的東西在做球杆也可以訂製，你也可以去配你喜歡的重量打起來會不一樣，也可以去特別訂製
legendary
what a nice guy!
@Text me on Telegram 👉@Karl_Boyes oh well....it seems even when i 'win' i 'lose'.
I saw jason shaw cue stick from your video. and my reaction was wowww.. US$.6.000. but, this Ko Pin Yi is RIDICILOUS INSANE !!! US$.30.000 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN BUY A BEAUTIFUL BRAND NEW CAR !!!!!!!
where can I order KO tips?
Ko is good man
Does he play with a regular shaft or a low deflection shaft? Thank you, Karl!
zen shaft is all regular shaft i think, not hollow inside,like all hand made cues.
@@nolluseti indeed, from my experience zen shaft really depends on the wood of the specific shaft you own. For sure taper and ferrule size/weight will affect but as you mentioned it still is solid maple shaft so it can be abit random
You can tell from the normal size ferrule it's not ld.
modern custom cues have generally improved in shafs deflection, but in the best case senario they are medium-deflection. Recently I tried a Mike Lambros cue and the deflection was not bad at all. Oviously you can't compare with Mezz or Predator, but in those custom shafts often you have a beautiful hit.
Thank you, guys!
why miscue easier in Japan ? anybody knows?
Must be humidity
what is that he said he use in making tip
good player
I highly recommend getting a Singaporean to translate next time, many of us are bilingual and can speak Mandarin and English well
He wanted to be tested 💪🏻 he did a stellar job
@@KarlBoyesPoolLife Wow, that's great to hear....actually they have so much to share, it's kinda wasted that they are limited by their command of english.
Efrey Reyes never use a glove
大哥好帥
30.000 😱😱😱😱
please do aloysius yapp 🙏
Ok 👍🏼
@@KarlBoyesPoolLife thank you
His english more better
main muscle
30.000$
K.O !
Why isnt he using a glove?
His palm is dry, no sweat. Just like mine.
Who thought Jayson Shaw's cue was expensive ?
Me hahaha we are uncovering things here lol
How much was it? About $6K I think.
@@onnyt60 yup that's it

He said $30,000; around double the price
Dude I love the Ko brothers. Big Ko seems like a class act. Always rooting for him.
I've always loved the what's in the case vids. My man Karl has taken them to the next level. More of these please
Thanks 😊
Is it too late for The GOAT Efren? 😂😅
Great interview mate, props to Ko Pin Yi giving it a go despite his lack English👍
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!
No worries thanks for watching
We understand, poverty is real for you. But not for everyone else.
Ko Pin Yi is my favourite Ko brother. Great player! Congrats to you, Champ! Love the design of the Zen cues by the way. 😎
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.
This got a like the moment I saw the thumbnail! More content with the Ko brothers please Karl!
I 2nd this comment karl my man 💛
Congratulations to Ko Pin Yi for winning the APF Asian 9-Ball Open 2022!!
竟然要百萬台幣..... 一樣都仁桿 飛龍哥那隻好像30萬NTD左右而已XD
my idol Chang Yu-Lung also using a $10,000 Zen cue, btw hahaha
Really wow
Great video. Awesome that he's able to communicate in English a bit... His brother Ko Pin Chung knows zero English so i thought we would never have some kind of interview from them...
I ❤️ the Ko brothers and they even got their own brand jump cue...thats fukn awesome!! 😎💪
@@bigstu4700 hell ya asians are known for being smart even tho their English may not be the best but he's getting better 😉
That jump cue is awesome
I own one, and it plays better than cuetec propel or predator air ii in my opinion
He can communicate in english now that's nice, his bros can barely hold a conversation in english without using chinese words
Wow I had no idea he was so polite and humble. Watching his matches always thought he’d have a totally different personality.
$30K pool cue. Must be nice. Cue is stunning though.
Harbourfront, Singapore? Niceeee
That's suppose to be 58.5 inches, according to Zen
Tough not to like Ko (actually all the Ko's)
Great guy
Efren Reyes has $200 cue so I guess u don't need expensive cue to become better player ✌️🤣✌️👍🙏
What’s the tip diameter of Ko’s jump cue?
What brand extension is he using? (the first one he pulled out)
I've been playing with viking for awhile but use a different brand break cue. Cool to see top players using different brands. Most guys use all 1 sponsor.
Karl is the absolute man for doing these! Keep it up! Lovin the content
Thanks buddy
Did he just jump with that 30k cue??
The Ko brothers have their own jump cues and cue tips. They put on their own cue tips, shape them and tested them
For a $30K cue, I would want to use a more protective case than a Predator.
Nice video Carl, big KO is great to watch.
Man that cue is stunning but 30k, needs to take it to the toilets with him
Hahaha true
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..
They are coming 💪🏻
You are my Idol 👍💪👍💪👍
Curious to see more details on the tip tool he showed. I haven't seen that one before.
He is one of my favorite players besides Albin Ouschan! Love this video 👌🏻
Great to see someone doing a "What's in the bag" segment. And what a nice guy Pin Yi is.
PinYi is a class act and an amazing shooter. Great video. And goodness gracious what a price tag on that cue. Used it well to win it all though! Great vid. Cheers
No worries thanks for watching and commenting
One of my fav players
Interesting he doesn’t use glove. What does he use baby powder?
I believe nothing
Nice work. Oh, and this guy 👇🏼 Lmao.
Man I just can't justify playing with such an expensive cue but if it works for him 🤷♂️ why not. Congrats on the victory

Last time I see him was when vegas was shutting down during the early days of Covid, glad that Ko Brother slowly making a comeback.
I joked about someday needing to carry a sharpie in my bag. I didn't see one in Ko's bag. He's for sure sharpie level. You need to send him a sharpie so he has one. ;)
Him and his two other brothers are monsters in pool
Anyone get the coping joke with KO Pin Yi? 😅
