    (Un)Popular Opinion on Fargo Rate

    Are the ratings equal for men and women? Is a 600 woman supposed to be as good as a 600 man? How about different games? If someone just plays 9ball and he is a 600, is he still a 600 for 14.1 or 8ball? How about if someone just plays locally and he is a strong player in his region and he is...

    Take all of the weight out of your break cue

    I did a test of break speed using the Predator break speed app. I used my Players J/B cue which is 17.6oz with a wood shaft with a Samsara b/j tip and my BK2 with the raven cf shaft when it had a phenolic tip (changed that to white diamond tip later) and changed the weight and tested it at...

    What killed the slip stroke?

    I used to use it for power draw. You need a cue with a smooth irish linen. it's harder to do with a sticky grip like those rubber sports grips or the fake leathe, or wrapless.

    What would be a good two piece cue to make a break cue?

    I would keep the jump break cue. Sand the tip flat and put a hard leather break tip, it will make a ton of difference. I have of these players modified and it doesn’t feel less solid than the BK2 when it comes to the butt, the only difference is due to the shaft and tip.
