Nope, I'm in East TN

Lost my Cities match today to an SL 6. There were basically 3 mistakes that cost me the match. A scratch on the 7 ball, a miss on the 9 where I was trying to beat a scratch, and a missed carom on another 9 ball. Combined, those mistakes were probably a 15-20 point swing. And of course, there...

Surprised to see so little discussion of the Ko brothers. Not only are they highest average Fargo Rating in this event, but they train together constantly and know each other's games better than any other pairing outside of maybe Alcaide and FSR.

Gotcha. So would there be a big mismatch between the shaft and butt in terms of size?

Is this the 60 Minutes piece on Shane that people were talking about after his World 9 Ball win?

Okay. The ones I'm looking at are 5/16x18.

I'm looking to buy a replacement 5/16x18 butt, and my playing shaft is a 5/16x18 OB Classic+. I found some nice looking Meucci butts that would fit the bill on eBay, but I'm worried about fit. I know Meucci uses the 5/16x18 pin, but I've read that their threads aren't always exactly the same...

There are a couple of SL6s in my APA league who can shoot all the shots, run out off opponent's mistakes, break up clusters, and just generally play a solid game of pool (granted, this on a 7' table). Out of curiosity I looked them up on Fargo Rate, and they are both 480ish with high robustness...

Thanks lorider!

I’ll be playing in my first ever APA Cities this weekend in 9 ball. Anyone got advice for a first-timer? It’s at a pool room I’ve never played at before, so I definitely plan on practicing there a couple times this week to get a feel for the tables and speed.

There is absolutely no fear of missing for Filler. Running out when he gets a look at the 1 ball seems like a mere formality for him. He and Earl in his prime both have this energy/attitude at the table where it’s like they are annoyed that they even have to run out the balls when everyone...

That was by far the most restraint I’ve ever seen him show after winning a tournament.

Looks he may run out the set off of a fluke. Pretty amazing. It seems like he actually goes into his top gear everytime he gets a roll.

I know that they even out but man...Filler gets some rolls in crucial moments.

I knew FSR was well into the 800s Fargo Rate but didn't realize how high he actually is. 822, 7th in the world. He's got a full 20 points on his countryman Alcaide. He seems to still be improving, too.

FSR probably “deserves” this title the most but it will likely end up as just another trophy in Filler’s growing collection!

For purely competitive reasons Efren probably wasn't the greatest pick for Team Philippines but it's hard to be disappointed with getting a chance to see the Magician play again, particularly in a modern Matchroom event.

Filler is like the villain in a horror movie. You think he’s done for but nope. He gets right back up.

Two very costly misses from Sky thus far. He always seems to play a little tight against SVB.

Yeah, my complaining was a bit premature, but stream issues continue to plague pool. It's bad when you just can't count on an event, even from the likes of MR, to go off without a hitch for its duration.
