That's an amazing accomplishment for Mr. Morra, and puts him at around number 72 on the top world players list.
Just to give you an idea of how good Josh Filler is though, at fargorate 863, he is 63% better than Morra!
We've all seen John Morra play- he is fantastic- which makes Filler's rating even more impressive:cool:

I don’t understand Fargo - how is 863 63% better than 800? Wouldn’t that be like 10.5% better?

Do you think that playing 14.1 / Straight Pool can help a players game out at all? At least with Consistency?

For example, if the player has not played in a long time, and wants to get back into playing, and hopefully get their old A game back?

I always hated doing drills. Never had a Pre Shot routine, that I know of. Other then what came natural, after playing for hours, every single day, for many years.

Do you think that just practicing 14.1 would be helpful, or would drills be better? Doing any kind of drills were always so boring to me though, but I understand that is probably why I never improved past a certain level.

Thinking back, I feel that I was never anything but just a Banger. Always really loved the game though. I guess not nearly enough though.

I have not really played any in around a year, and really wanting to get back into playing again. I really miss the game.

I know that I am going to be really rusty though.

Thanks for any thoughts.

I regularly practice 14.1 but compete at 1pocket.

And what I've found is 14.1 has a dramatic effect on your ability to run balls at 1pocket. However, what I've also found is that, while you become adept at running balls around the bottom half of the table, you also need to cross-train and play rotation games because most often you need to be able to stab in a long shot/cut from an up table position to get rolling -- shots you would be less inclined to shoot/practice playing 14.1.

As far as helping with consistency, sure. The game has a built in accelerometer based on the number of balls you can regularly run so you can always tell if you're moving forward (or back) with your game. The trick is to pay attention and becoming adept at accurately diagnosing exactly what's going on with your game.

There are a lot of rabbit holes you can go down, lol.
