I play on Diamond red labels a few times a week at a local room. No way I would ever own one of these tables unless the rails are fixed. Trying to bank or kick is super annoying. You can learn the adjustments but why? I haven't played on the GCIV, but played many years on many GCIIIs. I don't...

Except he is out $29 for something that wasn't done.

I like the 11 to the 13 better than the 11 to either the 14 or 10 given the 3 blockers. Simple 1 rail to get position on 13 in the corner or bottom side if it rolls too far. I'm not playing for position on the 13 in the top side. I think I will set this up on my table now. :)

Ok. If you say so. The 13 has 4 pockets. No way I shoot that first. And you can bet I'm getting out. lol

Bob. I am very surprised you say to play the 13 first. I don't think any one said play the 10-15 combo. For sure I didn't.

But you can easily get goofy on the 15 and not get on the 11. I'm not taking that chance because bih on the 15 is guaranteed position on the 11.

The 13 has 4 pockets. 14 has 5 pockets [4 if you don't count the top side]. 10 and 15 one pocket. 11 has 2 pockets. No way I'm shooting the 13 first. The 15 is a difficult ball to get on. And its a blocker for the 10. So it goes first. 15, 11, 13, 14 or 10, 10 or 14, 8.

For years I sent my cue back to Schon for a new tip. Awesome tips. Held their shape and chalk. I vaguely remember someone at Shon telling me they soaked [ i want to say olive oil. not sure tho ] and pressed a Le Pro. They've since changed to Tiger Everest tips. Bummer.

What would be the cost to increase the weight to 18.5 or 19oz and add the Z2 shaft? Can this cue use the latest Predator extension?

The sample error is "1/sqrt-n". So in this made-up example the error would be ~30%. Seems silly to do this but ok.

You totally missed my point.

It doesn't really matter the size of the group. For example if people in California never played anybody in Michigan you would still have a problem. In Mike's example, if both Nowhereville and Phoenix had the same offset, then playing between each other wouldn't solve anything. As I mentioned in...

I guess I didn't make myself clear. In your example if Bill doesn't move and only plays 10 games in Phoenix, then Nowhereville is still incorrectly rated. That is what I was trying to say. At some number of players and games then the math should work out.

The Fargo Rate is a relative scale as they say in the video. And as I said, if that third match does not happen [the yellow line at 2:12], then the sytem only rates players relative to each other. Thus it becomes regional. This problem cannot be avoided. 2 players do not make a robust...

Fargo suffers from regionality the same as any other rating system. Unless the players travel around to cross pollinate then there will be a local/regional bias. It should be obvious that any mathematical formula can only differentiate between the player who play each other. There is no absolute...

The APA 9 ball scoring is a real pain in the [you know what]. I don't know how many times a scorekeeper wasn't watching and lost track of the score. Many teams put the new guy on scorers duty. smh. I will say though it makes for better handicaps. It is much tougher to beat 2s and 3s in 9 ball...

Their "secret sauce" was published on the internet about 20 years ago by a disgruntled league operator. So there are some people outside of the APA that have seen it.

When I practice shots I shoot them in both directions.

Glad to hear you know it all. This was not my experience and I played in the APA for 15 years.
