Race to 5 for 500!? You guys are fuggin gambling I love it

Agreed

Meh. I would love to see my man Oscar out there again. Doesn’t play as full time as Billy but he’s in big action when he does play and he’s very good in the pressure cooker. Also he’s just about the classiest guy in the pool world. The sad truth is the US just can’t field 5 world class players...

Been playing well lately so decided to do a ghost session on the toughest table in the room. My plan was to play for 2 hours but I got so frustrated not being able to give myself a good rack I quit after about 30 minutes. End score was 4-7 so I basically lost a race to 7. On a positive note...

It’s not well layed out, but I think the claim is players of equal Fargo ratings that play on different size tables are not truly equal. A claim I’m sure you’ve disputed with evidence. Personally, as someone who has gotten nearly 100% of their rating playing on 9’ tables, I do feel a slight...

Yeah but what if there’s only like 1 or 2 tight tables you want to play on. I feel this pain

Pretty sure Fargo is weighted towards more recent games. Corey plays a lot of events. If his skill had dropped off that much it would be reflected for sure

Taom is great. Switched from kamui after they kept falling apart/collecting residue

I’m not saying you’re necessarily wrong, but I hope you’re wrong. By all accounts pool is booming overseas, Asia especially, and it’s booming with young players. I think pool has/is undergoing a rebranding as a more serious sport, and I think that is catching on overseas. I think a lot of young...

Whiny take. Who cares? “As long a 9 ball women WC exists, please keep the same for men.” There have never been “men only” events. They’re called opens and always have been. Just watch and enjoy

I’m not exactly a fan but overrated isn’t fair. He won 2 world championships 5 years apart, 2 World Cups, an international open, and several runner ups in major events. Dude is a monster

Absolute mush-brain drivel that has no place in a thread celebrating the life and accomplishments of one of our sports GOATs. Delete this mods

One of the best and most feared to ever do it. A pleasure to watch. RIP Chang 😔

It’s highly dependent on conditions. 7’ vs 9’, new cloth vs old cloth, big pockets vs tight pockets, clean balls vs dirty balls, magic rack vs wood rack etc. Any combo of these will greatly vary the ghost Fargo. I think on a 7’ table with new cloth, clean balls big pockets and magic rack the...
