Cues are works of art, even the production ones. Many are also limited. People are collectors and the value of collectibles is determined by the desire of the collectors. Just because something cost $100 to make doesn't mean it's worth $100. An item's "worth" is the price that people will pay...

Every 100 fargo points is 100%. A 600 is twice as good as a 500, for example. A fargo 650 is 50% better than a 600. Etc.

Good for her to choose to pursue a real, "bill-paying" career. She'll be able to maintain her "high 600" fargorating and learn and work a new trade too. I know lots of folks with 650+ fargos who have great careers outside of pool. And, if she changes her mind, pool is something she can fall back...

That's an amazing accomplishment for Mr. Morra, and puts him at around number 72 on the top world players list. Just to give you an idea of how good Josh Filler is though, at fargorate 863, he is 63% better than Morra! We've all seen John Morra play- he is fantastic- which makes Filler's rating...

Slow down. Take more time between and over shots. Pool is relatively easy after 40+ years, and I do quite well now that I've slowed my overall pace and am routinely consistent.

Wow, I started this thread a few years back and it's still alive for some reason. Again, to be clear: I don't hate cf. I've just played with wood for over 40 years and am frankly, too used to it. Lot's of great players shoot with cf. And lots of great players shoot with wood. I will say this...

Yikes, uni-loc? Radial pins for the win. There's a reason why so many high-end and custom cue makers use radial joints. Much better fit and "one-piece" feel (hit) than uni-loc has. Ever notice when Predator themselves come out with limited edition and high-end stuff? Most is radial pinned. I...

I can't stand template racks. Makes the game too easy, especially for pro 9-ball. I love pro tourneys with triangle racks. So much more randomness/unpredictability, old school clusters, dry breaks, and drama. OG pool. Templates are for the weak.

Officially, it was not a foul. Technically, it was. Water under the bridge.

Yes, if you break using the same angle and speed every time. Change your break speed and/or angle. Template racks spread consistently the same way based on how they're struck. Strike differently grasshopper:cool:

Predator does market some fine production cues but I agree with y'all, they're about twice the price they should be. That said, if it wasn't for this extra profit-making by Predator, the game/sport of professional pool (which trickles down to the amateur scene) wouldn't be in even close to the...

I personally would like to see two different fargorates per player: One, their "lifetime rating", which is shown now, and Two, their "rating over the past 500 games". I feel the "past 500 games rating" would be a more accurate rating of how they are playing/trending now, and thus more...

Filler misses his wood Z3 shaft imo. Predator basically "forced" him to use Revo (again) so he told them to make him a specially engineered one and he would use it. Predator also tried to force Biado to switch from his wood Vantage shaft to Revo a few times, but Biado wins World Championships...

Oops, wrong thread lol. I reposted on the correct tourney:LOL:
