FWIW, I live in NYC and I get lessons from two coaches. One charges $150 per hour and the other $185. I have no problem with spending my money this way.

Hunter charges ~$200 per hour and I see him giving lessons around the clock.

Auntie's showing these youngins how it's done!

Mike, are you saying they've been performing at a 680 level over the past three years? If that's the case, shouldn't their ratings be much higher then? It feels like the Fargo algorithm is too sticky and too much of a lagging indicator. Any chance the algorithm gets tweaked to weight past games...

Back on the market and all packed up and ready to ship ASAP. Buyer didn't read the description and requested a refund at the last second :rolleyes:

Price drop to $550. An amazing price for a well built custom.

Ralf and Django still touring and competitive at the highest levels. They should be the favorites.

Seems like that totally defeats the point of the app if they reject scores that actually move the needle on ratings.

Man's still got it. 2025 International Open Straight Pool champion!
