You should be able to, depending on where Josh set the nose height.

So the nose height is slightly different between the Artemis and a Superspeed? So that must mean a K55 can vary in nose height depending on the manufacturer, I always thought that all K55's were the same. Or is it that the Artemis IC K66 is not an exact copy of a K55, and why would Artemis flop the 55 and 66 numbers around after putting "Intercontinental" before it?? Its all very confusing. 😊

Except there isn't one tough shot on a barbox for a good player who is used to playing on 9 footers. So its all about the cueball and adhering to 8 ball strategy to get through racks or duck if you can't.

What makes it so much more difficult to hit center pocket on a shot that is 20" or less longer?? I prefer 8 ball on my 9' vs a 7' table because there is more room, congestion is always a problem in barbox 8 ball.

I agree that english pool table pocket that are similar to snooker table are harder than American pool tables. But ball to pocket ratio is just part of the story, the balls are heavier and bigger and requires a different stroke to get around, especially on a 9ft table vs the 7ft barbox or english 6ft tables. I'm sure that he could be very good with practice.
But people are watching him play 8ball now on 7ft tables with big pockets and think that it's harder than 8ball on 9ft tables with tight pockets, my argument is if you drop him NOW in a big pro WPA 8ball event, he won't get far.
Darren Appleton and Karl Boyes made the switch from English pool to American pool and became great players but it didn't happened over night and they didn't switch to barboxes with buckets for pockets... they were also younger than Tom when they switched.

My general argument is really not about Tom or any specific player, it's about 8ball on 7ft tables with huge pockets vs 8ball on pro 9ft tables and that some claim that the 7ft is harder... it's obviously not

Meling did a youtube video about 8 ball on a 9ft table. You should check it out.

Meucci was my money maker for a long time. I liked the hardness of the plastic ferrule. McDermott used a much softer plastic in the ferrule giving a softer feel. To each his own. 🤷‍♂️ My personal preference led me to ivory with a Hard leather tip. Waterbuffalo. The stainless joint gives a crisp feel. The ivory jointed cues I had the pleasure of test drive were.....uh like ice cream. I liked it. McDermott even did an ivory joint and ferrule custom for a friend. It felt just like the $2500 Bill Stroud musical instruments. Then he got the pleasure of telling me, "I paid $250 for it. Big Grin. I musta turned a shade or 2 of green. With envy. 😉
