    APA finals diamond table

    Well one thing about APA skill level, they measure it by removing the worst half of your matches. Take 20 matches, remove the bottom 10. Measure skill level. So the skill level already takes into account your best matches, not games. Personally I enjoyed playing in the APA. LO was a good guy...

    Best shorty cue?

    I play league at a bar where the Jukebox interferes with one corner of the table. They haven't invested in a short cue so I have been. So far I have tried 2 of the 2 piece all wood cues you can buy from Amazon. Both are not good, probably should have been expected given they were around $50...

    APA finals diamond table

    When I played APA some years back our league operator had to field many questions about sandbagging and the national championships. IIRC he said if you play 2 skill levels above your current rating you will get DQd. This would be based on the scoresheets submitted during the tournament. But he...

    Pro Cut Pockets

    No. See Lil' Chris's video on facebook of him doing exactly that and out of 8 shots I think 1 went in. His is a blue label 9' table.

    Whyte Carbon Break Shaft?

    I have the break shaft. I've tried it on a couple of butts I had around. Now I use it on a Jacoby Heavy Hitter. Love it. No complaints. Hits good. Not sure I love the tip, but it works fine. Oh and its cheaper than a Predator.

    What drills are best to get that smooth stroke like Buddy Hall , or Chris Melling?

    Johnny Archer was asked about practicing during the KC open stream, he said, I don't practice, never did, its too boring, I'd rather play someone.

    Anyone play in TAP League?

    Since TAP has its own rating system and handicap I doubt they will ever report to Fargo.

    44 Breaks & Only 3 Chances

    I wasn't trying to be funny. If no one local will help then there are some instructors who will do zoom or other remote instruction. imo you clearly need someone to help you. And it isn't going to happen on a forum.

    So a couple of things first. I have noticed that my fargo moves when I have not played, which tells me there is some feedback based on my opponents future ratings change [performance]. Small but still present. My answer is based on what I think it should do. So my final answer is D. This is...

    Would love to buy a diamond pool ball cleaner

    I bought one of the cheap ball cleaners off Amazon 2 weeks ago. I've cleaned 3 sets of balls so far. It works really well. It came with some unidentifiable blue liquid, but I use the Aramith ball cleaner. The machine spins super fast. Maybe too fast?! So far so good. I wonder how long it will...

    How can you "solve" this island problem? If no one leaves the island, then still a problem. When players leave the island the problem is already solved.
