Well, sure, but some people play better on certain equipment and/or playing different games.

Even with 700 level players this can be the case. There is a guy in my area who plays that speed and plays a real power game - fires them in and runs racks. But his CB control can be a little off at times for a player that highly rated. He’s consistently better on looser tables - compared to other 700 level players who might have better CB control but less firepower.

Getting shape is easy. Getting perfect shape consistently is very difficult but when you're consistently pocketing balls and you just know your going to pocket the ball, you can take what the table gives you.

I learned that this is a Scott Grossman cue, and that the cue maker is from, Pinedale, Wyoming.

Seems to just be a local cue maker, from his own area, because I could only find 1 picture of a different cue that he made.

Might be pointless, but wish I could find more info about the cue maker. Like, maybe if he was self taught, or if he learned cue making from any well known cue makers.

So, I do not believe this is an original shaft, lol. It fits, flush with the butt, but it is clearly not the original shaft. Bummer.

Also, not sure what the pin is. Looks like a 3/8x11, but I am only counting 10 thread turns per inch. So, I do not know.

Anyways, thanks for any thoughts.

And here I always thought that Fargo was scored on how well you played against opponents instead of a rating that measured your skill on equipment. Doesn't it make sense if you play on easier equipment that your opponent is playing on the same easy equipment?
