    Best cue under $1000

    Sorry short story. Purple Heart sneaky. 18oz. Great stick. Actually was purchased to break with and in turn it had a 13mm tip. Im used to a smaller tip on a player and use mostly Viking cues. But it hit really well. Im also a bit odd and like an elk master as a break tip. Ended up that it...

    Best cue under $1000

    You have a lot of options. You said traditional looking. I really like how the Joss I purchased recently hit em.

    Break cue weight

    18 or 19 preferably on breaker. Like 18 better. Never tried a 17 or less. Maybe a long time ago. 20 oz is ok. 21oz+ no thanks. But also if given a choice I’d break with a 25oz with a leather tip over an 18 with a phenolic tip on it too. I hate phenolic tips that much. Can’t stand the crunch...

    Items taken to the pool hall getting weird.

    Well if I go to the Red Shoes. It’s dark in there, the tables are well lit, and the centennials are always polished. I’d much rather play with a beat up set there. The glossy balls and lighting messes with my astigmatism slightly. I can’t always tell if the top 3 are touching when the 1 is in...

    Frustrated with my own slow play in 8 ball

    Me too. OP you said you are an APA 6. By APA rules you should be shooting within 45sec. I think the rules are most shots should be closer to 20sec. There is one 650 I know that plays slow as all hell. Everyone knows it. He has sped up a bit as of late as the tournament director on Fridays has...

    2024 AZB Ghost Challenge - Official Thread

    You can mark me for 4-7 against the 9 ball pro ghost. But it was on a barbox. Lost the first 10. I counted wrong first set and played 8 games instead of 7 but threw up a 4 pack in the 2nd set either way. fun starts at 12 min. Sorry after the 2nd run had to pay the tab. Took a couple min...

    Another Farorate thread

    Oh well lost 4-7 scratching on final two breaks. 4 pack at 14 minutes or so. It’ll be up on ghost challenge. 480 running a 4 pack. That’s ridiculous! I know it is, but I don’t lie much man. That was after the xanny 2 beers and a shot finally kicked in. Had to get in the right mindset first.😂😂😂😂😂😂

    Torrified Shafts

    You could put it into a metaphor or analogy instead. Why do you follow through on a shot? A regular maple shaft has more natural follow through than an LD shaft does.

    Torrified Shafts

    I think the LD will hit closer but throw farther. If understanding correctly. Not to confuse anyone. My keilwood has a softer feeling hit than the regular shaft btw.

    WWYD 9 Ball Mar 31

    What they said. Or You can go different. Combo the 2 harder to place the 1 up table then 1-8-4combo.(8-4 is wired). Then 1 7 combo or carom the 7. It would be more fun but a lot harder.

    Konrad’s journey through suckage!

    Yeah. I don’t know about the torque. the path reminds me of a simple boat drawing. It’s the boat shot to the corner with top.

    Konrad’s journey through suckage!

    What was that 3 railer that if you hit with one English it went to the side and another it goes to the corner? For some reason the physics don’t seem right since starting back. I keep hitting the damn side nipple. Or they just don’t go. Was it because that was on a gold crown with 760? They...

    Konrad’s journey through suckage!

    You know what sucks more than being bad or avg at pool? Being the second best in the hall. Doesnt even matter that I could beat everyone else. There was always one player better than I was at that hall. I was at the apex of that 2nd tier amongst players essentially. Probably 650ish. I practiced...

    Konrad’s journey through suckage!

    Oh I recalled this post from 2021!🤨strokes fine now.👍except all that playing when I was younger with the walls too close to the table might’ve given my natural cue angle a bit of a lift. It looks overly aggressive but only feels right that way. On your response. I feel like I played better 8...

    Konrad’s journey through suckage!

    Fargorate is a big joke between God and me at this point. Once upon a time I cared and things just didn’t work out. Maybe I was a 400 something 2 yrs ago. Since I’ll only play to my opponents level and refuse to play my best, I’m being punished. Thats Wolfy though. 20yrs ago, the best players...

    Konrad’s journey through suckage!

    Chapter 2: So I’d never seen a banger as bad as the APA is producing these days. 20 yrs ago you’d get some 5’s and 6’s who talked the talk then would fall on their faces when trying to walk the walk. Bangers! They were usually a great bunch to hang with but why give them the time? They just...

    Am I on a FargoRate island in Mississippi?

    Maybe you are in a pond. Maybe not. Just roll with it man! Go to Vegas and get the handicap if you get one. Live it up for the next 2 yrs while fargorate catches up. It’ll catch up eventually.

    What the pros do differently ...

    I hadn’t realized the spot shot due to the CB actually having follow on it by the time it gets to the OB. If the CB was sliding at true center wouldn’t you scratch on the spot shot? Edit: sorry I misread your spot shot reference. I thought you were referencing spot to spot initially! Until...

    Most dreaded shots lately

    Here is the best I could do. It’s not perfect. But Labeled the scratch box as anywhere the CB would’ve had a good chance of scratching cutting the 7 from. 7 and 9 might have been another inch from the side and were less than 1/2” apart. CB and 5 are almost correct but maybe move the CB a smidge...

    What the pros do differently ...

    No you have to think “is my best option for the break out from the 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 ball” actually………if say the 4 is in a pocket you can take out the cluster with your shot on the 3 and still make the 4 with a bad leave after. And then can put the CB wherever you want from the 4 in the pocket.😉...
