I saw this little gem today. Corey uses the mechanical bridge to stabilize his bridge hand. Has anyone seen this done anywhere else? Is it legal?

In general, the object ball. Why? So when you've completed the shot, you know whether or not you hit the object ball where and how you wanted to. If you're practicing or don't trust where you're hitting the cue ball, that's when I would look at the cue ball last. It might be worth it to look...

I'm pretty sure CSI put on a pro 10-ball and 8-ball tournament on Diamond Bar Boxes. 8-ball is a much more difficult game on a bar box for sure. White Diamonds tournament is also a huge money tournament played on bar boxes.

I think this puts into perspective how much a 100+ point difference in FargoRate can be.

I'm not a strong player (FR 605), but I can definitely remember hitting certain milestones. Winning my first tournament. Top shooter in my league. Beating a player I highly respected in a gambling match even. Winning a short set vs. a pro. Other players asking me for advice. I think the...

Great! Making it into that third rack is huge!

I recently played two games on a bar box against my league operator. I found it much more difficult than an 8' table. First off clusters are much more common. Second, more precise position play seems to be required. Of the two games (going to 100), the best best I did was a HR of 21. I felt...

Donated and shared! I was super fortunate to meet a lot of people at the DCCs I attended. I met Danny D, Grady, Squirrel Carpenter, Jeanette Lee, and many more across the two DCCs I attended. Danny D has been great to listen to and definitely deserves our support.

I know a few guys near me that have run 100+ and I feel I'm the favorite in 9-ball against at least one of them. My guess is that at least one other has a FargoRate around 640 (he doesn't have many tournament results) and another has his listed at 635 with 1000+ robustness. Going back and...

For those of you who have run 100 balls, I'm curious to what your FargoRate is. I'm right around 600 Fargo and my high run is 59. I'm curious if there are many around my Fargo with 100 ball runs or not.

28 + 8 = 36 for me in March on a loose 8-footer. I need to play more 14.1. I've been practicing on a 9' Pro Cut Diamond with worn cloth and it's tougher than one with new cloth for sure, but it's definitely improving my accuracy. Just need to work a ton on positions and patterns.

Come on man, you're a solid 528!

Yes, I re-watched and he didn't skip the 9-ball. Oops on my part.

I noticed he skipped the 9-ball in a few racks. Can anyone tell me why this is?

I'd like to see a video overview/gameplay of this game.

I used almost exclusively closed bridge before watching Karen Corr. Now I use almost exclusively open. If I'm in a strange bridging situation, I might use closed, but otherwise I use open. For example, I played a friend bar box 8-ball for about 5 hours on Saturday and only remember using a...

Early on, I watched a lot of ESPN and changed my bridge from closed to open after watching Karen Corr.

In the One Pocket game, we've played pretty even, but in this particular session, he won the first game and I won the next 5 due to him selling out more than me playing well. I think going from even to 9-7 is a bit out of line. Maybe 8-7, but maybe 9-7 seems like a large adjustment right off...

I also wanted to add, that in my experience, if I adjust somehow, like giving up the 8-ball playing 9-ball, it sometimes boosts the other player's confidence and they start playing much better. So now, I may be on the losing side. Should I ask to go back to playing even? I'm not a hardcore...

Hi all! I'm sure we've discussed this in the past, but now with the age of the Internet and FargoRate, maybe things are a little different. When you're gambling and if you're winning or losing, how and when do you adjust if at all? For example, let's say I'm playing a roughly even opponent...
