    Opinions regarding a former top pro playing in and dominating a Poolroom‘s weekly handicapped tournament?

    I'm confused. It feels like there might be something wrong with how the handicaps are set up. Or maybe we're missing details around the quality of the field (small field? Mostly C level and below?) In NYC, we will occasionally get a 800+ Fargo player dropping in to our tournaments and the max...

    Predator Z3 , radial , 29 inch

    Do you have calipers to measure the diameter? If not, can you take a pic next to a dime for reference? Curious how much skinnier it is

    Peri Open 2024

    For me, this just underscores how many unknown monsters there are in Asia. Like, who are half these players and how are they whooping many of these big names?

    advice on Fargorate going down after +59 effective rating

    Don't worry, that's not actually how FargoRate works and the other commentator is mistaken or exaggerating. Your older games get weighted less and less over time. I think Mike Page mentioned that games one year ago get counted half as much as a recent game. If you keep performing well, your...

    advice on Fargorate going down after +59 effective rating

    It's because your first two opponents had virtually no rating, so the Digital Pool calculation was wrong since it assumes their ratings won't change. If you check their ratings now, Kay is a -90 and Milo is a 391. So your wins against them didn't really count for much, unfortunately.

    Is there anyone that can authenticate a Joss West these days?

    Wait, so Dave Kikel was authorized to re-do the JW logo if necessary? Like if the buttcap needed replacement or something?

    Is there anyone that can authenticate a Joss West these days?

    Now that both Bill Stroud and Dan Janes are gone, is there anyone left that could authenticate/write a COA for a Joss West? Inspiration behind my question is this eBay post here...

    Which city is the best in the world for pool in 2024?

    Unlikely it's an American city IMO. Pool just isn't popular enough here compared to Asia. Some of those pool halls in southeast Asia look absolutely bonkers by American standards.

    Brackets here: http://spba.org.cn/match/tz2024/mindex.htm Only 7 Chinese pros, with Dang Jinhu being the only one I recognize. Anyone know why Wu Jiaqing and Liu Haitao aren't in?

    Double-Shafted, No-Butt, Jump Cue

    I have a Chilton double ended jump cue similar to this one. Mine is made of webwood and jumps fine but not amazing. Attaching the short shaft to a full size butt worked pretty well as well.

    Why billiards will never be in Olympics

    If your criteria is "no fat people", then you'd be excluding a lot of existing Olympic events. Pool is every bit a sport as anything else at the Olympics and deserves to be there.

    Why did Roberto Gomez need to play in a US Open qualifier?

    Just noticed he played in the Felt qualifier yesterday: https://digitalpool.com/tournaments/felt-2024-us-open-qualifier-saturday/bracket Does he really not get an invite? Did he not sign the Matchroom contract or something?

    MR US Open Qualifier

    Feels like qualifiers around the NY/NJ area have had very little participation. Some of them had as few as 9 players.
