It’s similar in high ISO performance to a 5D3, which I used to routinely shoot between ISO 6400 and 12,800 for indoor sports in a poorly lit HS gym. Very acceptable noise with the internal noise reduction on medium and processing raw using DPP for conversion and finishing in PS with Nik Plugin. For wrestling, I can get by with 1/250. For BB, It depends - 1/500 is preferable, but I have shot at 1/250. Be sure the camera is on AI servo (I use case 3) and I use the center pt AF or center point plus 4 surrounding. If you’re shooting at wide apertures, you’re going to need the focus spot on because of the narrow DOF (but it also isolates the subject, which is good). I used to use a 70-200 f2.8L, often wide open, but recently, because of the weight, I’ve been using my 135 f2L (I put my Canon 1.4x MKII extender in my pocket for those times when I need 190mm @ f2.8). I’ve also used my 85 f1.8 and even a “nifty fifty” if I’m right under the basket (but you need to be able to move in a hurry 😮). The primes aren’t as versatile as the zoom, but they’re generally sharper and a whole lot lighter, and if you have enough pixels on the subject, a little cropping isn’t an issue.
Edit: as Gene just mentioned, anti flicker mode is nice, but I don’t think you have it on the 6D, do you?
