Set up some donut holes on your table for a 2 rail bank to a corner pocket. One for the cue ball and one for the object ball. You may have to adjust one of the donut holes so it aligns the shot straight to the 2 rail shot to the corner with a stun shot. Now vary either speed, draw, follow, right, or left English until you get a feel for each. Using inside English can be very useful on shots you may not think will go. HAMB's.

Well that’s fair if you seen him play but robustness isnt’ crap either. Lol if you play in leagues with short races you can get your robustness up but your Fargo doesn’t hardly move because your getting low Fargo players thrown on you . Ask me how I know. Lol I get guys in the 400s thrown on me all the time . You beat them 5-1 (Uspal) and your Fargo still drops lol

The more accurate statement would be "there are plenty of players that try to put the CB where it doesn't need to go".

It won't go to the same place with a different amount of english.

I especially mean dudes that use bottom right or bottom left on every shot regardless of what they really need for english.

seems both have drawbacks. and can fail.

I know this sounds crazy, but 20+ years ago there was thread where the question was what pros were playing with a Szamboti. If I remember correctly, there were several.

I would be willing to bet that number has gone to 0.

Time changes.

A light hearted, positive article about pool. Nothing at all wrong with that.

Maybe. Maybe not.

Does in not deride our sport to have people think that some dude who started playing well past his prime and practices for several hour per week is 'one of the top players in america'? That is insulting to even someone like me who is only a couple of hundred points above him.

In other words, if the general public thinks that any schmo who puts a couple hours in is capable of being a top player, what is their motivation to watch pool?

all subjective ,looking at tournament results and interpretation of what you want from them.

fargo, is an objective rating so you go by that list, and be done with it.

the old days, the best players were the ones that stood up and said ill play anyone in the room for all their cash.
and no one took them up on it.

Fargo doesn’t tell you shit..maybe he doesn’t play in many Fargo events. You guys put to much weight on silly Fargo ratings.
