Biado vs Ko Ping Chung may be the most exciting matchup of the tournament to this point. Biado seems to get it done in the biggest spots, but Ko Ping Chung will be a very tough assignment for him. Roda has run hot and cold but seems to do just enough to win, and I'd be very surprised if he beat Fedor.

Still, there's not much in it. All matches are steamed now, so you can pick the one you like. The future BCA hall of famer Carlo Biado vs World 10ball and US Open 9ball champion Ko Ping Chung is the one I like.
I agree...
These guys play STRONG IN COMPETITION,
"Toss-up to me,
I liked Ko US Open winning 11-0 ,
I dont recall him missing 1 ball!

Help with info about Orchid pool cue?

Long shot, but I am curious if anyone here knows any info about this Orchid cue?

I might be wrong, but I think these cues may have been made by the same cue maker who made Falcon cues..

This one appears to be a piloted 5/16x14 joint pin. Does that appear to be the case?

These are not my pictures, but it is a cue that I am getting, along with a Nova cue that I found. Mostly just excited about the Nova cue that I scored.

This Orchid cue is basically just a bonus, but not sure if it is worth much of anything.

The butt sleeve design reminds me of the Color of Money Joss cue.

The cue does have a Falcon look to it, I believe. And, it does have the same joint that Falcon used on their cues.

Thanks for any thoughts.

I've seen several of them, Casper included, who deliberately wait until they hear that 5 second callout before pulling the trigger.

It should be done like accu-stats does it, once they are down on the shot, the clock should stop.
What if they stay down on the shot for 30 extra seconds? That defeats the whole purpose of the shot clock. Not to mention the concept of being "down on the shot" is a judgment call.

The clock is the clock. If you don't want someone saying "5 seconds" while you're shooting then shoot faster or wait until they have called 5 seconds before pulling the trigger.
