(Un)Popular Opinion on Fargo Rate

i dont have a fargo so you have to make a game and match up with me. thats the way it always was and made poolrooms fun.

now with fargo it is easy to know if you have any brains, whether you will win or not. as fargo is deadly accurate for that.

and wonderful for tournaments and leagues which is what it was designed for.

more tournaments need caps or spots to make players close to even . not make it so the better players still take down the money.
sure for 20 dollar entry many will play just to play. but get the entry high and you shut out all the dead money as they can see they have no chance. and never had one before fargo. so use it to handicap tournaments so they are truly fair. and let the top tier cry all they want.

ferrule

I have used Tomahawk and Hydex a lot and I haven't seen these materials melt or create a "diamond" shape like I often see on Cynergy ferrules or the old Taom break tips. That said it's nothing wrong with using Juma or Elforyn either, they are tried and true. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but from lightest to heaviest I think the correct ranking is:
- Tomahawk
- Elforyn
- Hydex
- Juma
But the weight difference is very small, so as a player I honestly wouldn't worry about it at all.
Kim,
I believe that Hydex might be slightly "lighter" than Tomahawk, while Tomahawk is slightly "stronger" than Hydex, based on numbers that I have reviewed from the manufacturers of both materials. Your assessment is correct...The materials on your list will all suit their intended purpose.

Going to try CF, any suggestions?

OK, I'm gonna try a CF shaft. Been using wood for 53 years, first the Schon OEM's, then got a couple precat preds when they first came out and have been using the pred cat shafts now for some time.
I'd like a CF shaft that hits at least somewhat like wood meaning it doesn't have a metallic, ting or whatever when striking the CB or at least that sensation is subdued. I've been using Kamui super soft clear/blacks for some time and may step up to a medium tip of some sort.
I want to be in a mid/price range on this. Joint would be 5/16-14, prefer a pro taper. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Custom Sneaky Pete cues.

Hi folks, I haven't been around for quite a few Moons now. Too long. Last couple of days, I have been doing an inventory on my small collection.
At 68, thinking about Thinning the Herd a bit. I have a couple of custom Sneaky Petes. One is an ordinary Pete, the other is what you might call,
"A not so Sneaky, Sneaky Pete". All fancied up and such. I can't remember the makers name now. We used to chat frequently. I know there is more than one
cue maker that makes Petes. But, if members would toss a few names at me, I know that I would know it as soon as I saw it. I did a few different AZ Search queries which all came up blank, I even tried Face Book. He may or may not still be around. I'd appreciate any help with this. All My Best. Terry.
Do you know the time frame it may have been made?
