Note: This tracks breaker's win % by their own Fargo rating, not
by rating gap. Win % climbs with rating mainly because higher-rated
players win more overall — not necessarily because breaking itself
matters more at higher levels. When restricted to closely-matched
opponents (within 50-60 Fargo points), breaker win % flattens to
~49-51% regardless of rating band.
This is not the complete picture, we need to look at how the same groups perform when the opponent breaks...

Footage of Jay Helfert in some serious pool action

rusty george is still alive? id say hi from me but no way he would remember me.
but you could say the kid that liked fishing with frank.
I don't get down to Billings as often as I once did , but I'll give it a try , so where did you and Frank like to go fishing at ?
Sadly George has a bit of Alzheimer's so he may not remember me either , but it's worth a try .
