My Fargorate progression

I won vs the 515 11-7 and 11-8. (11-9 was the race). I wasn't playing good all night. I felt good in my stance and sighting, but some balls missed that really surprised me as to why. The first set I was up most of it and he came back a bit at the end. The second set he was winning 8-6, (on the hill), and I won 5 games in a row to steal the set. The last 2 games I started my innings with 2 kick shots that I pocketed and ran out from there.

Also a few nights ago I bought a used jump cue. Then I spent 3 hrs practicing with it, including shooting every shot with it with a small hop on each shot to get used to it. I haven't had a jump cue except an older style from the 90's in my closet for the past 20 years. This is one of those import ones with a CF shaft. Not premium like the Predator and Cuetec, but a definite improvement over my old style one. Anyway, it came in use a few times during my match, and I pocketed 2 jump shots and got position.

I just hate carrying all this stuff now. I went from having 1 cue in an art style 1x1 round tube case, to now I have my big 2x4 case, playing cue, break cue, jump cue, plus a claw to hold them all. Plus takes forever to break them down and set them all up. With only a playing cue, I don't even need a claw, because the cue never leaves my hand when I'm sitting down.

I'm still playing with one cue.
Kick better. It's all about the speed on the kick.

Was pool better 50 years ago?

In the movie the "Legend of Bagger Vance ", there is a line about golf. It goes something like,
"It's a game that can't be won, only played".
Pool is a little like that. You play for personal bests. The highest level you reach isn't even important.

You're right, similarly, the best part of pool for me was seeing my improvement, not using an upward comparison to those still better (that's just frustrating and depressing).

I believe I started hanging out in the pool room at 14 or so. Like most young, dedicated players, I was improving in leaps and bounds. When I started, everyone was better than me. That's what made it fun. As I improved, I was inching my way up the room's pecking order. Of course now, I had to change my mindset from improving to slowing my decline slower that other old guys my age. That's fun too. Keep adjusting your perspective to find that enjoyment in the game!

Radial shafts not fitting well on non-predator cues

Does your radial pin on your nitti have the same uniloc logo on it like the predator does? There is radial and uni loc radial from what I have read.

The Radial pins you buy from Uni-loc corp. Does not have a logo like you find on Predator cues.
There can be small variations on the pins, but no more than a thou in my experience. Radial pin works much better when you tap/screw into wood Vs. Phenolic imo..
