In my opinion, most current regular players under 60 years old don’t play enough or for that matter any 14.1 to be using 14.1 high runs as an estimate for someone’s Fargo rating.
Even trying to estimate someone’s Fargo rating by what percentage of the time someone can run out a 9 ball rack when playing the ghost and starting with ball-in-hand is still quite inaccurate, as there are so many variables to that - size of table, tightness of pockets, quality of their break, not to mention that it doesn’t consider someone’s overall game management and defensive skills.
On a 9’ Diamond with standard Diamond pocket specs, in the past year, in 9-ball, if you have broke and run a 2-pack at least 3 times in competition (gambling session or tournament) you are likely at least a 550 Fargo. In the past year if you have broke and run a 3-pack at least 3 times in competition, you are likely at least a 600. Accomplishing these feats in practice in my opinion doesn’t really count for much, as it is done with no real pressure on you.
