That's actually sounds like a great idea! This year there will only be two tournaments, and the winners of each will pick their team members, for a total of two teams. Not ideal IMO, as a single event is more or less a crap shoot for who may win and who gets picked (obviously the better players...

I wish we still had a Masters league session. A bunch of people weren't paying their dues, so we've changed to a tournament setup. Winners form a team and go to Vegas. It's much more fun to play a league format IMO. Plus anyone can have a good day for the tournament, but not everyone will play...

Ok 👍

Price?

I would not recommend a blow torch, you risk melting the ferrule. It's very difficult to control the heating with this method in my experience. It'll work for a joint pin, but not a ferrule. Just a little bit of heat via heat gun, carefully aimed near the end of the ferrule. I will cover the...

The glue they use is not very strong, it might be regular wood glue. I've had great success in using a heat gun on low power, heating up the end of the ferrule for about a minute for so, then it simply screws off. I've changed a few of them (all cracked) in this fashion and replaced with the...

This season has been particularly bad for various sicknesses across the whole northeast. It has not been a fun "winter".

The more I play against people using these new fancy chalks, the more skids I tend to see. There might not be a residue that's visible like it is with Masters, but they're definitely leaving something behind.

Yeah, a standard valley BB is just too easy. Even when the APA Masters event was played on them (albeit with Ridgeback rails), I felt it was much easier to run out versus Diamonds. Thanks for your feedback!

How do you justify this comment? A 600 player is a 600 player and same goes for an 800+. The top players aren't necessarily getting better, although there are more top players now in the Fargo system than there used to be. The biggest change I can think of is that the top players are only...

In ten years, multiple players will be pushing 1000. The fargorate calculation ultimately needs refinement IMO. The top players shoot at an extremely high level, but at some point every person will ultimately begin to decrease. We are not really seeing that here. Everyone has consistently gone up.

This is exactly my experience over and over, regardless of what any rating system suggests. There is a difference when playing on different size tables and given enough time, any player will get used it. However, for people that predominately play on one size, then move to the other for a...

Do you any records for your B&R % on barboxes? I'm interested in how a stronger player switches between BB and 9ft. I feeling like my % goes up on a 9ft tables due to less clusters, but I have no point of reference as I don't typically play on 9ft. Theoretically the results should be the...

I actually love this idea. I have power outtages all too often, and use a Makita work light, which leaves shadows. I'm going to look into a battery backup for my table lights!

This is easily the biggest downfall attributed to Fargo ratings.

I completely agree with your points. 8 ball requires great skill in all facets of the game and every match is a unique learning experience 👍

Another cf shaft. Cool.

When I'm playing alone and nobody is watching, I can B&R nearly 100% of the time 😉 ....then I wake up 😂

I look back on forth to get my alignment down, but lately I've been looking at my point of contact on the cue ball while I shoot. I feel that my potting consistency has improved overall.

They revamped their system about 2 years ago, and now you can only view data from your current region. It was nice to be able to see my own stats and teams from where I used to live, but now they've blocked all that info (which is stupid IMO). So your data still exists, you just cannot see it.
