    They look good, but the round holes concern me a bit. I think part of the “magic” in the MR and Accu-Rack is the elongated holes in specific angles.

    You're picking the wrong guy to argue math with.

    He's a college math professor, believe it or not. With that type of position, he should be more careful with his postings. Could still be trolling from his mom's basement, though.

    Opinions on this cue?

    Looks like it sold for $927 with 74 bids from 18 bidders: https://www.ebay.com/itm/134898716803?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5335988529&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

    The logo and serial number is fairly small (maybe 3" long and 5/8" tall), and is printed only every 3 ft or so, so there may be only 2-3 visible on the entire table. Still, in a darkened room with a UV flashlight, they should jump out at you. That said, if you're sure there are none on your...

    Can a soft tip be hardened while on the shaft?

    That thing looks like a Chia pet. Are you chalking the sides? Drilling into the chalk? If that’s AFTER you burnished it, I think you gotta let it go and get a higher quality tip on there.

    How much do you pay for a recover? Both look perfect under normal table light, and the old cloth still plays fast and true. I’ll probably leave it on. If you hold both under a table light they both look fine. The views above are basically the harshest possible light with high magnification and...

    The app’s usability problems are a whole nuther discussion, and I would hate to see resources spent on changing the numbering system prior to bringing the app up to modern standards.

    C. J. Wiley - A Touch of Inside

    I’ve never understood that argument. Missing your intended contact point is going to change the deflection of the CB and miss left or right of where you intended it to go, regardless of whether you were trying to hit it with half a tip inside or CCB. That said, bridging at your shaft’s natural...

    C. J. Wiley - A Touch of Inside

    So he’s basically using varying amounts of inside english to create varying amounts of CB deflection to thin his cut angle from two starting points, CCB->COB, and CCB->EOB? Two big questions come to mind: 1. What does he do if he wants/needs to use outside english for gearing or position? BHE...

    I can find positives on both sides of the argument. I just think the ship has sailed on this decision.

    It’s not misleading if you have a grasp on high school math. Fargo is on a logarithmic scale such that every 100 points is a doubling of skill level. That’s why its graph is a straight line. That constant difference up and down the scale makes handicapping at all levels more straightforward...

    It’s the traditional numbering system for most (all?) other games/sports that use the Elo rating system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system

    Just received my replacement 860 from Simonis. Here are pics of it compared to the 860 I bought last October. Both pics are brand new cloth, not installed or stretched, under the same lighting conditions (flashlight straight towards the camera to show any fuzz present) Old: New:

    Yes. The 650 is twice as good as you. In a race to 20, he would be expected to win 20-10.

    Tor Lowry's ultra-complicated aiming system

    I’ve watched enough of his videos to know he’s a solid player. It just strikes me as unusual for a solid player in the US to have nothing in Fargo - no reporting tournament play in the last decade or so.

    Lighting: Parabolic Louvers vs. Egg Crate

    That might help prevent spread of light to the room, but wouldn’t help the player down on a shot.
