    FargoRate?

    Games wone and lost against another known player and when is all the data Fargo needs to calculate a rating. The APA nine ball data would be pretty much worthless though since it is points based not games based. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    FargoRate?

    Well you’ve only got 78 games in the system. Things will tend to jump around until you get established. Takes at least 200 to get a realistic rating. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Nah looks dead straight to me. Look at the shadow. Although jacked up like that he might damage the cloth, slate, rail, etc. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Just finished a break and run on a friend's basement 8' Brunswick table

    Maybe he could mount that crossbow scope on a pool cue next time. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    need way to determine handicap in straight pool league

    You could try something like FargoRate except instead of every game you’d use every ball. Define the best player in the league as a 100 and set 10 pts off for every factor of 2. Most of your players should end up with ratings over 80 (good for egos) and at the end of every session you can name a...

    Weird question about deflection and draw.

    Unless your cue has very high deflection, you’re not likely to get the natural pivot point very far below the center of the cue ball. Assuming the butt is above the rail with clearance for your knuckles the cue will be at 1 1/8 inches above the slate about 12 inches from the tip. Sent from my...

    How to calculate your Fargo performance in a particular tournament?

    You could use a tournament website that does it for you like Digital Pool. https://www.digitalpool.com/ Or if you want to do it yourself, you can take all the games played during the tournament against each player and calculate the Fargo rate that gives you an expected result that most closely...

    Play good one day, bad another? It's just science.

    A slightly different point of view on the consistency thing. In terms of absolute performance (something like the Billiard University exam, the European Playing Ability Test, or AccuStats TPA rating), an 800 FargoRate player is going to have a much narrower range of scores between his best and...

    Shane's 3 foul not legit?

    Found it Alex fouls at 33:45, Shane runs balls for the next 38 minutes, then the foul exchange starts at 1:12:08. Oh and it was a 70 ball run not 50, so 5 full racks between Alex’s 1st and second foul. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Shane's 3 foul not legit?

    Wasn’t there a another thread a while back with Shane playing 14.1 where his opponent fouled, then Shane ran 50, then Shane fouled, his opponent intentionally fouled, Shane fouled again, his opponent intentionally fouled again to force Shane to three foul and everybody in the room forgot the...

    Play good one day, bad another? It's just science.

    350 vs 550 is 200 point difference, 550 vs 700 is only 150 pts. In a short race (to 5), the difference is a 2% chance vs almost 6% chance. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Shane's 3 foul not legit?

    Listen closely, at 1:25:00 the ref tells him “you have two foul.” Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Cleaning a Shaft

    A moist paper towel, such as you might have after drying your hands, will take off 90% of any grimy build up on your shaft while you’re playing. Plus you get a clean bridge hand to boot. Of course I live in a relatively dry climate (Colorado) so your mileage may vary. Sent from my iPad using...

    Purchased a different Shaft and tip to play on a Diamond Table vs. Brunswick Gold Crown

    Not sure a different tip and shaft can account for bank differences, but if you train consistently with different equipment for different situations then the cue in your hand can become a clue to your subconscious to adjust your routine/aim. That said, it’s still gonna take twice as long to...
