    OB falls into pocket while CB is in transit to hit it, Is this a foul?

    Movement of the players and others in the room, vibrations from the player shooting, can cause a hanging ball to fall. Especially on a lighter table.

    Question about adding results to Fargo

    I think we have a record for lagest swing in Fargo, accidentally or not, no matter how long it took.

    FEDOR's Documentary has dropped

    I am a big fan of Fedor, a big part of it, as an immigrant myself, his attitude of embracing his new home country is a change from many other pro players. They live 90% of the time in the US, conduct business there, but associate with another country for their loyalty and representation...

    Interesting International Amateur skill restriction

    They do not, i think the translation is about 75-80 fargo pts per SL for 8 ball and about 60 for 9 ball

    BCA needs to address definition of legal push shot

    I I don't like rules for close hits that state you must elevate or angle the cue, because you can still make an illegal hit with an elevated cue and make a legal hit without one. TAP has a bad rule for them, they basically said you need to elevate, and if you do then it is OK. If you actually...

    Interesting International Amateur skill restriction

    The main flaw I see is they are saying APA 6 is the max, that is way under a 650 Fargo. So some APA 7 that would be ranked 600 in Fargo would be turned away, but a 630 player better than then would be allowed in if they don't play in the APA. I guess they are maybe trying to prevent the 700...

    Interesting International Amateur skill restriction

    Semi-Pro: $10,000 added, $125 entry fee, $25 registration fee. Restricted to Maximum 650 Fargo Rating and APA 6. This makes no sense, a mid 500 Fargo can max out APA as a 7/9. Saying you can have a 650 Fargo but not be an APA 7 is bonkers. Any 600 Fargo will me maxed out in the APA. Someone...

    White marks on carbon fiber shaft - How to remove?

    If you can't feel the marks, I would leave it alone. No reason to try to "fix" something that is trivial, and cause new, or actual, issues like scratches.

    Cue stick stroke with a spin.

    This makes no sense, and no player past a beginner would be doing or trying this. If you actually get spin this way, it us by accident when you hit off center. Swiping across the ball outside of some very rare specialty shots is a baaaadddd idea. Sounds like how a lady that was like an APA 2...

    Difference between a Viking A70 and B55?

    About 15 give or take a letter. Could just be they renamed models if they look the same.

    Mike dechaine vs an apa 9 …

    Win rate is not the only thing the APA checks for handicaps, innings per game is a big part. I have seen players show undefeated seasons as 3s and 4s yet not go up much if at all. To max out APA you must be able to break and run or have 1 and 2 inning games fairly often. No APA 5 would be...

    Cutting Semantics

    I have never heard it any other way than "overcut" you cut it too much so too thin, and undercut is too full. Not sure how you can view it any other way, at least not when facing from the point if the shot. I guess if you look at it from the other side of the table you can look at it the other...

    Ring on a Revo

    A bit of a lip does not bother me at all, it does nothing to how the shaft fits or the hit, and you would never know unless checked.

    Ring on a Revo

    This is why I had my cue built with double rings at the joint :cool: I knew I would want to pair it with different shafts so any black collar shaft is a fit.

    Practice Without Help - Get Better?

    I know many players (women mostly), that have played for 10+ years and have trouble getting 3 balls in a row without luck. I know players that have played for a year that can almost break and run a table. All depends on how not stubborn and dedicated the person is and how their overall...

    A whole lotta travel going on, places to play/visit?

    If they are near my work areas, yes. There for 3-4 days then off to CT.

    are fake Aramith Balls easy to detect?

    If you are buying them for $75 under what other sellers have them for, they are very likely not the real thing.

    Delta / Metal Racks damaging balls ?

    If someone took a ball and smashed it against the edge of the rack at full force, maybe it can damage it. Aside from that, no, they are just being silly.

    Match probability calculator, given Fargo ratings

    I think Fargo is great, what you are saying your results are the same as Fargo's results for the matches? I thought you were doing your own calculations off something else.
