I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do I've been keeping track of my brakes and I would say I'm at 25 to 33%. They're nice breaks as far as the spread but that doesn't help me when nothing goes down.

I understand what you're saying and sometimes I thought of going that way with a softer break since all I do is spread them out and normally not get a ball in on break but I spread them so well I'm still trying to find my spot to break from that seems to yield the most breaks with getting a ball in.

Thank you! Sure enough I have a rating at the Fargo site!

Thank you for your answer. How do I verify if I have a Fargo?

I don't understand stand it. We are at BCA but we don't use Fargo! Does that mean we are not an officially sanctioned BCA?

Hi all, I haven't played BCA league in a few years. My question is our BCA league doesn't use Fargo. So if I go to a BCA tournament elsewhere that uses Fargo how do they give me a Fargo rating?

I have always seen more results (though not great) with a heavier break cue.

We do not use a template but old stay traditional rack. When I play front ball I agree with you I try to do that. I use a very hard tip (break cue). Note many ist inning run out. Not much but did have a 2nd inning run out. First round he ran out 7, then I missed making a shot (that was 50%) I...

I sometime do this. Thank you for sharing

Hi all AZ billiards friends, I'm in my 60's and not a big guy. My break has never been powerful, but even less so as I age. Can you all give me suggestions on being successful on a break in 8-ball (as a senior). I am back to playing in local 8-ball league, but I find that while my breaks spread...

This new expensive chalk was a surprise to me. No verdict yet on that.

My hands sweat so after all these years. One year ago I gave in and got a glove. Yes, I have noticed alot more people wearing gloves.

Than Thanks for your list of changes in the past decade. Now that I'm getting older 10 years (decade) doesn't seem very long, yet it seems like so much has changed in pool hopefully for the better in most areas.

I don't hold it against instructors, when they are just instructors. But you would think with all their instructional videos that they'd be great players but it doesn't always come out that way. Personally I think I'd be better instructor than player. I think some are good at both and others...

It seems maybe a "little" better.
