Must be some power hungry refs out there. This sums it up

Caveat... Predator changed (fixed) the 11.8 Revo design without telling anyone. The original ones deflected a lot. So I don't know if there are different 12.4 Revos out there. Maybe the newer one's do deflect less. But in my experience they deflect similar to 314-3 maybe a touch less. This was...

What Filler says is he didn't like the deflection difference. He went back to Z shaft when he didn't like the Revo, then he went back to the Revo when they made his special 12.4, which deflects like a Z shaft. I stopped using the wood Z because I wanted to have something warp resistant and...

I feel like there should be a forum bot. Whenever it detects the word deflection there is an auto-reply Hello! This is the azbilliards automated bot. Just a reminder from the keyboard jockeys! Keep practicing because all top players can beat you with a broomstick. The cue doesn't make you a...

I do parallel as well. I played with 12.9 Revo for years and now the 11.8. I can't play with the 12.4 because of the increase in deflection (as Filler experienced, and why they built him a special one)

Did you actually watch the Filler interview?

Yes thanks. The very very simple problem makes sense ;)

According to FargoRate app 105 point difference 5-10 race lower player and higher player each have 50% chance 105 point difference 50-100 race lower player (going to 50) wins 42.9% to 57.1% for higher rating ???

Not true in my experience. Unless they recently changed the 12.4 design

From what I've seen all over the place, very few know how or want to use the system properly. I see handicap tournaments where a range of Fargo numbers is tied to some race number instead of calculating the races using a rating difference between players. If you have a league using it, of...

#1 Some people in this thread are overestimating the intelligence of the average pool player #2 Even a lot of smart players often don't know how the system works and never cared to read about it #3 I have seen very few people over the existence of FargoRate using the app to calculate anything...

Your room was a special case I assure you. I'll ask few people tonight and we'll see lol

Unfortunately, 90%+ of players are not going to realize the math. I'd love to survey a bunch of players and ask them to estimate what an even race is between a 600 and 400

Math is fun who doesn't want to bust out a calculator all the time

Clearly Filler won all those event at Derby ONLY because of his special custom Revo...no other reason
