Actually, Yapp's biggest achievements in the past year were with a wooden shaft, before he switched to CF again. (He used CF, went back to wood and now back to CF - different type)

Could be psychological too. I've heard people generally play better if they switch to different equipment, something about hyper-awareness. Could be it makes them focus on their fundamentals.

Not sure about the first 100 or so posts (even though I think I have one or two in there ;)), but that last 30 or so is smoochie saying if Eklent Kaci switched to CF he would be the number one player in the world within a year.

If the Fargo rating system existed back in the 70's, 80's, and 90's, how many of those top Legendary players do you think would have been an 800?

Okay, this might be a really dumb question, so please try not to laugh too hard, lol, but if the Fargo rating system existed back in the 70's, 80's, and 90's, how many of those Legendary players do you think would have been an 800, if any?

I have read a lot of the stories, but they are very hard to believe.

Would the 800 (and higher) Fargo rated players of today's Era be able to beat all of those legends, going back from the 70's to the 90's.

I wonder what the highest Fargo rating Earl Strickland, or Efren Reyes would have had, back at the highest speed of their game, back in their prime. Or, other Legends, like Buddy Hall, Nick Varner, Johnny Archer, and Mike Sigel.

I also understand that the equipment was very different, so this might not be a fair question. Efren or Mike Sigel may have been like an 850 though, lol. I do not know. I guess it depends on maybe who dominated, and beat all the other top guys, at the time.

I got thinking about this stuff, after watching this youtube video, about this guy from South Korea, who is a 650 with only about 300 games in the system, and says that he is quitting his 6 figure income job, to go Pro, and says that he wants to become an 800 Fargo someday. I was thinking that it is probably highly unlikely, because even the gap between a 750 player and an 800 Fargo player is probably huge. To get from a 650 to a 700 is probably very hard, and might take a very long time. But, to get to an 800 just sounds nearly impossible.

Oh, I just looked up Alex Pagulayan, and was kind of surprised that he is an 818, even though he might be a little bit past his prime. So, maybe guys like Efren would have been at least that high in Fargo.

Anyways, thanks for any thoughts.

Cue ID

The way that insert is finished...or rather relatively not finished is kind of a tell. I don't know any "good" makers that have an insert looking like that. With that slightly conical shape it might be compression fitting. Usually I think you want a wood compression, not the brass insert itself though. Did you screw it together?

That does look like it might be an Ivory ferrule.

Interesting weight bolt looks like it was machined down after installation? No hex or slot for purchase in the case of tightening or removal.

Pawn shop background? No further pics? I am assuming you didn't grab it?

The Delrin butt cap and joint ring style evoke several good makers but nothing specific comes together with the rest of it, at least for me.

Maybe someone else knows.

Side note, whoever zip tied it needs a good smack on the head.

I was on my way to visit my folks on my motorcycle so I put it on layaway.

I think the weight bolt is an allen with the threading going through the hole.

I feel like I recall this cue being sold locally within the last year stating it was a refinished JW.

Highest percentage way to shoot this with BIH, playing Back Pocket 9 Ball

Legit question. I've seen it missed a bunch of times over the years, even by mid to high 600's. I played this game about 4 hours last week, and my opponent and I both missed it once in that session. We are both mid 500's. I shot it a bit faster than pocket speed and slightly jacked up. We were on a 4 1/4" Diamond 9'. Was wondering if there is a more high percentage way to play it.

I do the following with all critical shots in a variety of ways but for cinching a straight in, I use the stick to make sure everything is in line - and headed between the jaws. Get in position on the same plane and shoot.
