Both hands on the wheel, wanker! pj chgo

Fargo Rate doesn’t consider table size, right? Only the outcomes of previous matches against Rated players on any tables? pj chgo

Sounds logicalish, but I doubt it. Miscueing is pretty well understood to be a function of the slope of the CB’s surface where the tip contacts it compared to the stick’s direction of motion: more than 30 degrees (the slope at the half ball miscue limit) = scratch. pj chgo

No fair. Then we’re talking about a fluke situation, not the usual merits of no deflection. pj chgo

Nobody wants squirtless shafts? OK, more for me. pj chgo

With a non-deflecting stick {be still my heart) you could still masse with elevated sidespin to get around stuff by pointing the stick/CB in the deflect direction. pj chgo

AKA center the OB contact point in the overlap. pj chgo

Did autocorrect assume Kyren’s gender? :oops: pj chgo

Of course I meant with a center ball hit (no squirt). pj chgo

It would be more convincing if shot by robots. pj chgo

I bet you miss more shots with side spin than without. pj chgo

Musta been some wave..

Uh... pj chgo

You might still be right about their banking skills... pj chgo

Maybe you didn’t notice we’re viewing the table from its end (not its side)? Side pockets are (barely) visible on the sides. pj chgo

I’m a little overseasoned - too salty.

So centerball shots are harder for you? Like you, I've learned to quickly and accurately estimate deflection with little or no conscious effort. But that just means I've learned to cope with the added complications, not that they don't exist. No-spin shots are still easier, even after decades...

Without deflection you just point your stick through the center of the CB in the direction you want it to go. With deflection you have to estimate how far off that line the CB will go, a different amount for each different amount of spin and cue elevation. Even after you get good at it, that's...
