Hi guys, im on the fence purchasing a Revo Shaft 12.4mm in White Vault plate
deciding between 29 inch VS 30 inch.

Can anyone who has previously played with either or both the 30 inch Revo and 29 inch Revo in 12.4mm diameter share the experience, difference, pros and cons and individual preference ?



Thanks !

I have both. They play and feel exactly the same. The only difference is you have 1” of extra room on the butt cap if you are taller and need it.

I’ve also had both lengths of the 314 series and the same was true there.

Do you ever get the feeling that the Fargo Rate of a player just does not seem right?

Curious, do you ever get the feeling that the Fargo Rate of a player just does not seem right?

Makes me wonder, lets say you have 2 650 Fargo rate players, who only ever competed locally, in the cities where they lived.

Then, they eventually meet up, and play against each other in some big regional event, but their speeds seem to be very different.

The number 650 was just an example. It could even be like two 500 Fargo players, for example.

The same question goes for Ladies who mostly only compete against other ladies. Would a 650 Female player consistently run fairly even with a 650 Male player? I know, this argument has probably come up a lot, and I understand that Siming Chen for example, competed against a very strong Pro from FL, and beat him multiple sets, for the money.

Anyways, back to my original question, and the reason I ask is because I have seen some 650 Fargo players, for example, that I did not think should have a 650 rating. In those cases, they just did not look strong enough to be a 650. But, I guess they must have been, for some reason, or maybe I just seen them on a bad day.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Recently, I drew a guy in a one pocket tournament that was a 475, but I don't think his robustness was all that high. I beat him, but it was MUCH harder than it should be for a 475. If I was to estimate his speed, I would put him at 600-630. Even though I won, and was the last 600-ish player left in the event, my fargo was trashed.

I think Fargo is the best handicapping system by far. However, I also think it has greater inaccuracy when it comes to measuring one-pocket skill level.

Yeah because now it can at least be in the background at bars and restaurants, while now nobody who isn't interested in pool is going to be exposed to pro pool at all.

that's a massive factor for growth, if your not interested in pool you aren't going to buy a streaming service to watch it, but if it's on a service you already have there is a chance you turn it on and think I actually like this, only way to get new fans.

I first watched 9 ball when it was something nobody in the UK had really heard of as it was on Sky Sports and the fact it had snooker players in it grabbed my attention (wasn't great for Europes chances of winning, but in terms of drawing audiences having snooker players represent Europe was a masterstroke of marketing).

Well my ledger or account shows that my competition on the fields of friendly strife was profitable. However the per hour invested proofed the recreational status.
The memories are the true treasures. The money barely covered my bar tabs. 🤷‍♂️
Gotta quote Coach McHargue again. "We play to have fun. It's easier to have fun when you win."
So when I do lose I strive to be happy for my opponent. Especially if it's a much lower Fargorate player. Yeah Real Effing Happy at times. 😉
A favorite memory is the time I just couldn't find my focus and lost to a young man that was a beginner. I was in a self depreciating funk as I extended my hand to feign congratulations. The young player obviously knew my number and was so happy that he stepped inside my extended hand and HUGGED ME!!! The Hug did bring a Real Smile and helped me get over myself and be truly happy for his success.
