    Have you ever visited a pool hall with really good house cues?

    Top Hat in Baltimore, MD had Joss house cues. Can’t get better than that.

    Your First Time

    Orange Ball Billiards in Rockville, MD. Long time closed and I think its a CVS now lol. Cousins took me there during Thanksgiving? I was in middle school and they were in college at the time. Little did they know it would kick start a hobby that has lasted around 2 decades for me.

    Fargo Starter Rating Affecting “True” Average?

    Ahh okay. So theoretically if you are assigned a “lower” or “higher” starter it will effect your rating until the 200 or so games. Last question, is the 525 a baseline starter rating? I was curious as to why I got assigned 525.

    Fargo Starter Rating Affecting “True” Average?

    Yeah I’m all into stats, but I really just want to see improvement you know? I’m retaking the game seriously and wanted to see how I did in tournaments. I thought I would be competitive in the 540 and under which is why I wanted to join.

    Fargo Starter Rating Affecting “True” Average?

    Hey guys, So I’ve started playing in a league and a weekly tournament that reports to Fargo. I’ve been wanting to play more this year, but life and what not got in the way so it’s been a small sample size. I only have 86 games in the system but was assigned a starter rating of 525.

    He will forever live on as one of the legends in this game. What a ride his life must have been.

    Are Corey and Melling the 2 best at dissecting an 8 ball rack ever?

    I mean I would say they are in the conversation, but for 8ball specifically I think its played a lot more seriously (professionally) in Europe? That alone means there are probably some unknown monsters in 8ball that people haven't heard of. Another name that needs to be in this conversation is...

    Amazin Billiards in Malden (Boston), Mass.

    Pretty good Thai, Viet, and a Brazilian Steakhouse (by plate weight) nearby. Amazin is probably the best room in the state, but there's only really a handful to choose from.

    2025 Mosconi rosters - Euro changes a coming

    Big fan of Neils. His youtube channel really showcases his knowledge and personality. Never really appreciated his talent when I was younger but definitely do now. Be great to see another HOF still mixing it up with the new generation.

    Mezz PB2 Question

    Hmmm I have had one for probably over 7 years? Never had any issue with the logo. Seems like the finish has worn off if that has been happening.

    Mike played like a monster. Still got that firepower!

    Future of cues and equipment

    Its the smoothness of cf for me. Shaft stays smooth throughout the whole session. Damn thing rolls perfectly straight too on a lathe or rolled on the rails of the table. That benefit cannot be doubted. Having said that its all preference.
