Got out on 2nd try. I tried it 5 times. Got out 3/5. Got out on the 2nd,4th and 5th tries. I’m a 586 Fargo. Full disclosure: I shot 80 random balls first but never practiced any of these shots specifically beforehand. I was surprised. I thought it would be lower percentage.

great stuff. I have hit 900 balls since remodeling my stroke and stance. I just put up my first respectable score in Fargo practice game, a 148. that's not great for me, but acceptable. Im normally in the 138-165 range. I was averaging about 125 shortly after the changes. I can see the numbers...

Update Thanks AZ for the constructive responses. I've Been working on proper eye alignment and revisiting some basics and fundamentals, and I have actually found, after stumbling on Mark Wilsons EXCELLENT 3-part mini training series...The culprit was my foot placement. Unbelievable. Been playing...

Thank you, yes, I have seen many examples of professional players and studying their posture is going to help. I have corrected my posture and look forward to making it a habit over the next 30 days. If you reread my post, I named the chalk “left-handed chalk” in an effort to remind myself to...

yes, lol. I think this is a beautiful example of why we were taught as a young age, well most of us, that if we don’t have anything nice to say, not to say anything at all.

Math must not be your strong suit.

Damn. Didn’t think about that. That wouldn’t help

For those of you who are left eye dominant and play right handed…read on. There is hope. I’ll start with “WHY”. My Fargo rating has dropped from 603 to 587 in the past year despite my exhaustive increase in practicing. I recently met with an eye doctor and explained that the balls look dark...

I believe that the Fargo rating system overall is good and fair. Sure there are sandbaggers. sure there are average players who play out of their head when they manage to focus or practice a lot over a weekend...or get a blast of confidence by whipping a lower player before another match. This...

I have been using this solo practice game for years now and it's a lifesaver. It faces you to bear down and focus during practice, and it punishes mistakes. it does have some flaws though. I've noticed that I am able to quickly restore my ability to my high average by using this practice format...

I have bought one of these from ceebee. Great transaction, and if you are serious about your break, it's a great purchase. I pull it out in the pool hall, and I watch people come practice on it for 1 hour...their break speed increases by 2mph in 1 hour using it, and their accuracy goes up...

did you ever find a true rack?

me too

I’m staying in the area (around the north part of coral gables)

Happy Thursday AZ! I was just looking through some old posts and found this gem. I think you'll all get a great read out of this time machine post. I just commented a couple weeks ago on how 70% of every cue on my pool team is carbon fiber shaft. Break cues, jump cues and playing cues- ALL...
