Yea, I'm sorry, just gotta learn where to put everything. I actually put it in main forum too...
He's in Arkansas, he does very good work. On Facebook under Ronald Arnold.
He's also a VERY talented Leather worker and makes cases as well! Gonna have him make me one of them then too! He only does a few cues a year.

I just learned about Ronald Arnold last year (2025). Made arrangements to meet him at a pool hall in Fort Smith, AR. He showed me a line of his cues which were absolutely beautiful. He even permitted me to shoot with one (I was impressed). I had a custom John Showman cue made which was "borrowed" from me permanently some 10+ years ago. Consequently, I showed Mr. Arnold pics of the cue I had on my home PC. He is presently reduplicating the cue. Looking forward to see his work.

UK Open 2026, London, May 26-31

With how big Filler's gap is in Fargo (863 vs. Gorsts 850), it is statistically clear that he is the best current player in 9-ball. Anyone can come up with cherry-picked examples where someone else is better (e.g. only considering a certain tournament for the last few years), but if the definition of skill is your average performance over the long run across all 9-ball tournaments, Fargo is the most accurate measurement that we have, especially for top 100 players who have a lot of games in the system and regularly play eachother.

Fargo doesn't account for performance in big events and pressure.

If there was a Fargo system in the NFL, Josh Allen would be rated higher than Patrick Mahomes.

Vintage Jacoby with leather wrap

J
Like new condition early model Jacoby with a leather wrap. Beautiful cue no nicks or dings. Found it in a storage locker I purchased in a auction. Emailed Jacoby about it said it’s a early original and he valued it at around $1800🤷🏼‍♂️. I’d be happy with $800 it would pay for the unit. But no reasonable offer will be turned down. I don’t play pool I don’t need it.

Take all of the weight out of your break cue

I’m pretty short (and no longer young). I do not get a lot of cue speed. It seemed the harder I tried to add speed to my break, the slower it went and accuracy was terrible.

I tried a heavy break cue and went up 1.5 MPH without adding any effort. Heavy works for me.

Speed x mass = force, my break speed is terrible, adding weight was the only "weigh" to get a little more speed......
