Hey guys, Looking for a decent ball set to bring to some pretty divey places. Anyone got a decent set they are looking to part with? Let me know. Thanks, Lem

Hmm kind of the whole at what level (I guess Fargo is easiest to gauge now a days) will practice and dedication take you before natural talent is a must have? I think there’s that other post about the 650 quitting their job to try their hand at the pro scene. Personally, I think anyone can get...

I don’t know about this. I think getting to 500 is doable for most if you put in time and effort. Getting to 600 is a little harder, but having natural talent helps.

6 pack in 10 ball on a tight diamond. Dude was rated a 691 and was just unbelievable. In total he ran that six pack in like 10 minutes too. There are levels to this game…

So that’s the weird thing about P3’s. The original black had the thick grip diameter. If you look at the special edition ones, like the current aura, it’s listed as medium. I remember others, like the REVO editions, were listed as thin. They varied the thickness and I sort of agree the original...

Honestly, the guys that frequent the room are all good guys. A little woofing and joking but everyone there is straight up. I will say that the average skill level is higher than your typical bar room. I know there are easily ~20 players that push 620+ and a couple 690+ who are regulars...

Pretty good? I’ve sent in my old 314-2’s multiple times for warranty repairs and never had an issue. I technically never registered one of my shafts even though they were purchased either through billiardwarehouse.com or seyberts.com and they always accepted it. I don’t think they ever even...

Question, is this event really sponsored by Bacardi? That’s huge for sponsorships if that’s true. Pool might actually be on the up and up again.

Sure it’s high variance, but overtime with many games your real skill level will come out. Kind of smoothes out hot streaks but also amplifies bad luck or bad rolls. That’s why you need to take a look at this format as a marathon and not a sprint.

Technically Robbie Capito is Filipino

RIP Mika. I thought his cancer was in remission and was glad he was pulling through. Pool world lost one of the best to ever pick up a cue.

You know, this format really mirrors my cheap gambling sets. Races to 4 or 5 winner breaks for cheap. We always play anywhere from 4 to 5 sets as well. This is actually relatable.

Just because he’s the best player in the world doesn’t mean he’s always going to win or even place in major tournaments. I’ve gotten roasted on this before but you still need some rolls or a little “luck” in tournaments. Your break has to be working, or your opponent misses a shot they’re 99%...

Normally 9 ball. Race to 4 or 5 for $20. Some players only want to play 8 ball but it’s the same bet. Im only really playing for fun and with people I generally know. Losing $100 isn’t going to hurt but we’re also all pretty friendly with each other and not trying to create bad vibes between us...

What do you think Joe’s speed is per Fargo rating? I’ve always been curious about this but he seems like a decent player.
