Give a pro a good maple shaft or a Rhino CF shaft (~$200) on a cheap maple butt with a good joint (~$100), and once he gets used to it, his Fargo rating won't change.

Try letting your grip-hand thumb hang straight down, with zero pressure on the butt. Just cradle the cue in your fingers. I could never use a brace, because I like to shoot lefty instead of using the bridge as much as I can, and I don't think a brace would help my ability to make a good bridge...

I get my Taom for free. Just look in the corners and under furniture at your local pool hall.

I think it's always been Aramith. Mine's an Aramith. Everyone I've seen who weighed theirs here on the forum says it's too light.

The Rempe training ball? It’s way lighter than a CB should be. Mine, in like new condition, is 162 grams. Also measures a touch smaller diameter than 2.25”. A quality CB is a good investment.

Wow. Is there video of Ronnie "snotting on the floor" as Carter claimed? And if Ronnie says someone has issues and needs counseling, well...

Yes, power draws at a distant OB are more efficient at 0.4R below center vs at the 0.5R limit, because the tiny bit of extra spin you get going to 0.5R is overridden by the additional CB speed you get hitting it slightly higher, giving friction less time to act on the CB on its way to the OB.

Of course that’s true. But he said this instead, which implies something else:

Are you saying that for a given tip offset below CCB, hitting it softer will yield more draw than hitting it harder?

Nice! Third diamond, right? Crown? Miss that place.

Accelerate through the CB, or into the CB? Impact always results in rapid cue deceleration, right?

Every bar needs old cougars.

I want to know the answer to this as well. I assume the answer will be “each player has to have the app.” If so, what’s stopping someone from entering dozens of fake matches with long races against 10 of his non-pool playing friends after getting their cooperation to download the app? In this...

top review. “Now the power of competing and scoring games in FargoRate is truly in our hands.” more:

Pay for the app, or pay for each new player added? How much? Or does app require players to already have a Fargo ID? What’s the name(s) of the app(s)? This seems crazy. Edit: looked up Salottto, here is the app description. This looks like a cheap way to manipulate ratings:

LONG thread here: https://forums.azbilliards.com/threads/lambros-m-e-t-cue.546289/ I used to have a Lambros 4-pt 4-veneer. Very nice cue. His “Ultimate” joint is pretty cool tech, but you’re locked into using only his shafts (not that that’s a bad thing).

I hope that’s not a thing. It would lead to crazy amounts of rating manipulation. Could just make up opponents and scores.

I have that concern as well. Maybe I’ll use it daily on an old ball that I’ve measured with my calipers, then re-measure it every few weeks.

I tried to describe that - Test 1 was max draw, Test 2 was about half max. Since 1 went long and 2 was a little short, I assume 2/3rds max would work from the 2 diamond distance. From the 7 diamond distance, both max draw and half max draw came back long, so maybe 1/3rd max would work from the...
