Show me where I said a 600 Fargo was a beginner...now you're just making shit up lol.

You don't think claiming home field advantage doesn't exist is ignorant?

Have fun in NPR buddy. I'm sure you're a 700 there.

I challenge you to make a few posts in a row without trying to insult someone.

I could care less about your opinion, especially a person who makes up accomplishments to stroke their ego.

One more challenge: show me a video of any 600 running a 7-pack and I'll delete my account. Apparently you are the only person in the world to achieve this. Show proof or you're just talking out of your ass.

I'll say this, when I lived in AZ for a year I drilled a 10 and a 10+1 nuts in playing even 9 ball. The 10+1 was so mad he tried getting me kicked out of playing basically anywhere lol. He though he smelled something sweet, instead he got a dose that left him sore for a week .

Im sure somebody on here can equate 10 and 10+1 speed to Fargo, I think the highest rating out there was 10+2 and im thinking only Scott Frost and Roger Griffis(RIP) were that rating.

All the $$$ out there was in the 7 and under and 8 and under tournaments. Sadly got sent out of town for work before I could rob those and everybody in them who gambled. I almost blew my cover completely with that 10+1. it was like an hr from where I lived, unfortunately, that wasn't far enough

Those days are long behind me, I don't have the ambition and I really don't like taking peoples money except in poker.

Yup. Hate calcuttas. They extend already long tournaments. Just do a side pot. The guys running the Calcuttas love to hear themselves talk and the degenerate gamblers love it too.

For what it is worth:

The best kielwood shaft I have played (and own) comes from a guy out of Washington state (IMO of course). Bryan Covey sp? (BC Cues) makes them. They are 6 piece pie cut with a 1mm hollow core. His shafts just feel "right". I met him at the Expo a few years ago and bought one of his cues, I liked the shaft so much I had him make me one for my main player (Schon). I highly suggest you try one of his shafts at the expo if you get a chance.

Hsunami 1.0: This is a close second to the BC shaft. For me this shaft really excels at remaining stable while powering the ball around the table. Firm hit but feels great. If you like to move the ball a lot I suggest trying one.

Lucasi Infuzed: I never got along with this shaft. I am sure it works for some people, but not for my game.

Pure X: This shaft was a surprise. It played a lot like a 314-3 to me (which is a good thing) For the price I got it used it is not going anywhere.

Meucci KW: A friend has one of these and it plays quite similar to their standard Pro shaft.

I have yet to get my hands on a Hsunami 2.0, but would like to try one someday.

A Poolology app? Poolology gives you cut angles, like 11/33, which is 1/3 or 0.33, which is a little thinner than a 3/8th's ball cut (0.375).

Does Poolology has such app?

But you fail to understand the old nappy and slow Forstman cloth was quite limiting. No jump cues. Guys played with heavier cues (and higher deflection/ squirt cues) and you had to have a stroke with accuracy and power to move the cueball around. Limited types of cue tips then. No ball in hand fouls. You cannot disparage the top players of any previous era by comparing them to players of today unless you choose to be ignorant.

i have yet to see any old american pool video with slower cloth than contemporary filipino gambling videos.. and there are several contemporary players with standard high deflection cues. i agree low deflection cues have benefits, but mostly in learning to get to a certain level. there's nothing you can do with a low deflection cue that you can't do with an old school cue, as ko pin yi and his brother keep proving..

What is that? Same as the above?

As in, you better double check your #

It's mind boggling how cheap you can buy Chinese items. Look at this scale for $7. Shipped from China, packaged, marketed, and then sold for a profit...for less than $7. How is that even possible?

I'd bet those cues are badly warped. And if they were not warped now, they'll be warped shortly. I wouldn't buy any no matter how cheap. Just a headache and hassle.
