Agreed 100%. Commentators were mistaken on their call. Kledio played a very high percentage path to the eight and was unlucky to find that gap,

I think the better shot was to play higher on the 8 and play the thin cut up and down to the 9.

Bump.

Thanks. Have you ever seen those Orchid USA cues? I know they were not made in the US, but I recall them saying "Orchid USA" in the butt sleeve. Some of those looked really nice.

Yes, I have 3 of the "best" ones. I don't remember if any of mine might have "USA". There were actually several varieties of logos, markings, etc., some of which were not marketed in the US. Whether or not it is marked USA does not seem to have anything to do with the quality from what I have seen, some of those are nice, some are crap.

Example cue from Germany:

I was enjoying/listening to the Biado/Ignacio match earlier, nice w/o a crowd.... you can hear Biado making body noises once in awhile from above the shoulders.
One thing about em, he kicks in ''tough spots'' above all his peers.
Here's a GOOD example
Go to the 6-6 game score, where it's the 13 game and Biado is kicking w/o ANY diamond system, it's 100% feel'. His ability here is real, and he does exhume some body language at times to intentionally get under his opponents Skin... very subtle.
