I guess this comes from never actually going out and playing someone in an actual poolroom. Bob is correct. If you check the comments on your video you'll see I pointed out the same thing.

I also mentioned your pace of play. It's painfully slow which makes watching very difficult. You play fairly good but I think speeding up would help you play better. Also, which I've mentioned before, you need to get the camera angle higher up and closer to the table. Either from the foot of the table or the side. As viewers, we can't see angles very well and as such, are unable to offer cogent advice.

Again, templates are new. I played this game growing up and places I was stationed. Returned to it after I retired and no 9 ft tables around. I don't know if I will play faster. I tried it at times and I don't focus that way very well and miss easy shots. I would love to play better faster and see the table better, but I am not sure that is realistic. 10 minutes per rack is pretty good to me. Some are easier, some aren't. I don't claim to be a world beater. I will say for a Fargo of 609, there are very few others or maybe none who have a verifiable 100 ball run in this game.

Because some break balls that are not touching the new rack are impossible to pocket directly. A triangle outline ensures that all break balls will be pottable. It's a rule.

Ok. Thanks. I didn't know it was a rule. Donuts to me at least are a new thing. They make sense to me. I will use an outline of a regular rack next time I get my table redone, or maybe before then. I am just not sure about erasing a line or adding another one.

Fargo rating progression rate

D
As a relatively new pool player/hobbyist I’m curious as to how much one might roughly progress in Fargo rating within a year or a few years with several hours of focused practice per week and weekly league play/matches.
Obviously there are numerous factors at play but I’ve trained in a number of sports throughout my life and I am of the opinion that we have “soft caps” that we can reach with just a modicum of effort and discipline and then “hard caps” that require full commitment to the sport i,e. professionals.
If say right now I’m in the low 500 range is it realistic to think I could move up to the low 600 range in a year or two if I’m working on the right things? I’m just try to get a sense of what is achievable for an average player/person who doesn’t have the time or commitment to play pool 5 times a week or more. Any opinions are appreciated.
