Yeah but what if there’s only like 1 or 2 tight tables you want to play on. I feel this pain

Pretty sure Fargo is weighted towards more recent games. Corey plays a lot of events. If his skill had dropped off that much it would be reflected for sure

Are they playing 10 hours then prorating if someone doesn’t win? Or will they keep playing next day?

Taom is great. Switched from kamui after they kept falling apart/collecting residue

I’m not saying you’re necessarily wrong, but I hope you’re wrong. By all accounts pool is booming overseas, Asia especially, and it’s booming with young players. I think pool has/is undergoing a rebranding as a more serious sport, and I think that is catching on overseas. I think a lot of young...

Whiny take. Who cares? “As long a 9 ball women WC exists, please keep the same for men.” There have never been “men only” events. They’re called opens and always have been. Just watch and enjoy

I’m not exactly a fan but overrated isn’t fair. He won 2 world championships 5 years apart, 2 World Cups, an international open, and several runner ups in major events. Dude is a monster

Absolute mush-brain drivel that has no place in a thread celebrating the life and accomplishments of one of our sports GOATs. Delete this mods

One of the best and most feared to ever do it. A pleasure to watch. RIP Chang 😔

It’s highly dependent on conditions. 7’ vs 9’, new cloth vs old cloth, big pockets vs tight pockets, clean balls vs dirty balls, magic rack vs wood rack etc. Any combo of these will greatly vary the ghost Fargo. I think on a 7’ table with new cloth, clean balls big pockets and magic rack the...

I mean technically Fargo is your relative win rate against other players of a known rating, so playing the ghost maybe give you an estimate but to really know you have to play competitively

General rules I’ve seen are like 800+ world class player, 700+ pro or top amateur, 600+ strong regional player 500+ good league player 400+ average league player 300+ novice player and below that is like non-serious beginners. It’s interesting we are trying to do our own experiment to try to...

Say you’re playing one pocket and you want to scramble balls out of your opponents hole and draw all the way up table. Or you’re dead straight on the 8 down the rail and the 9 is on the other rail. It comes up and if you can’t do it it’s a leak in your game

Totally fine. Just hope he doesn’t know to kick 2 rails at the pack out of your corner!

What’s wrong with using a known good player as a reference point for equipment? Say I don’t like how my tip plays but I’ve never played with a different tip. How am I choosing my next tip? I don’t think people think if they use SVBs cue they’ll play like SVB, but there’s some assurance the...

Fair enough. I don’t think I would find it any more boring than watching svb and filler alternate breaks and cruise through bar table 9 ball racks in 30 seconds

I would assume 400 and 300 in a vacuum because if all you have is a starter rating it has to end up with whatever would make that starter rating most accurate?

Personally, I like to watch what I play on. So if that holds true across population, I guess bar table rotation would be a popular stream. For me, my top stream would be 1pocket on a super tight table, and bar table rotation with any caliber players would be at the very bottom. If you subscribe...

Shooting to a blind pocket, also frequently called a “back cut”. It’s a thing brother

I don’t know if this will fix your specific problem, but the best advice I ever got about how to get down was to aim with your back shoulder as you get down. I do this on every shot. I’m 682 Fargo so you better take me seriously damnit! :\
