There’s a reason you’re a 470 Fargo.
The pool cue makes a huge difference in your game.
The right diameter, weight, balance point, and tip all make a difference.
Yeah you can play with a cue off the wall but it’s not like using your own cue. 🤷♂️
I remember some. Billy McCoy, Tom Golly, Mike Sica, Jose Garcia, Dave Daya, Cisero Murphy. Alan Hopkins would certainly remember almost all the names. A lot of this players are local east coast guys.

Now if you make it a good food and drink event people...
Never read the WPA rules and I don’t know of anyone that plays by their rules. I think the league I play in has a good set of rules to play by. I play TAP. If there’s going to be a close hit a referee is called to watch. Players will make the call good or bad then the ref makes the final...
