    If the lag is a skill shot, there's a better way

    Instead of lagging twice across the table. The lag could be one table length, closest to rail by the racking area. 1. This is a more natural length and comes up often in real games. 2. This eliminates the luck factor of hitting the rail, every rail reacts differently and it's a bit of a...

    3 things you would change about pool

    1 - Make all new cloth play like broken in cloth. Very few people enjoy the first week of new cloth and it's really a different game 2 - Alternate break for everything. To come in line with all major sports, closer matches, increase fairness and to reduce overall importance of the break shot...

    I fixed Fargorate

    Currently in FargoRate 100 point difference is double the skill level. Instead, use an intuitive numbering system. 100 -> 10 200 -> 20 300 -> 40 400 -> 80 500 -> 160 600 -> 320 700 -> 640 800 -> 1280 Example, if a 20 (200) play plays a 80 (400). Then an even race is Race to 80 with 60 game...

    I want the special Filler 12.4 Revo

    I use the 11.8 Revo but I would love a 12.4 which is also super low deflection. I can't use the standard 12.4 because it deflects more than the Z shaft, which I played with for years. See the interview where Joshua Filler explains his custom Revo Please Predator allow us mortals to buy the...

    How do these diamond tables play so badly? vid

    From Badboys Texas State Championships. Blue label 7ft Diamonds. Incredibly short rails even at slow speeds. Cue ball doesn't slow down much. I assume rails were replaced or something wrong with cloth install? Never seen anything like it on a Diamond video link To be clear... I love Diamond...

    Moved ball while jacked up?

    Cue ball fouls only. But if you move a ball during a stroke or right after (commonly if jacked up over a ball and contact that object ball on stroke/follow thru) then its a foul I swear I've played this rule but I can't remember which tournament/tour used it

    Philly rooms/action

    What are good rooms to find players in Philly? A friend and I are visiting soon and we're looking to play $20 to $100 sets. 9/10 ball or maybe 1p. I'm a 650 fargo and my buddy is a 700.

    Do fargo ratings change fast enough?

    For very established players is it changing fast enough? Seems like Van Boening hasn't performed as well over the last year compared to the past (could be wrong, but seems like results aren't his usual domination and there are many guys playing better it seems). Yet his rating hasn't moved. I...

    US Open - Earl not allowed to use earplugs

    Had them on for the first couple games of his match, but then had to remove them. I thought they were allowed in previous years. Does SVB have to keep hearing aid on?

    Won't be coming back to BCA vegas for a while

    This will be my last BCA Vegas trip for a while. It’s been my favorite tournament for years but it has really gone downhill. Poor payouts. Details in other posts, but the payouts are lacking for a national tournament. I don't care about winning my entry fee back or matches worth a 20 dollar...

    winner vs alternate break, computer simulated

    I've always been curious about the difference and if it matters. So, I wrote a software program which runs random simulated races in both formats. I thought that winner break should obviously favor the better breaker. Well the effect is very small, so effectively it doesn't matter when the...

    BCAPL Scotch doubles, gender req

    Now that they use FargoRate to split divisions and cap ratings for scotch, is there a reason why there is a 1 male/1 female requirement? I enjoy doubles but there are very few females to team with, and my vegas team has always been guys.

    revo, miscues?

    Has anyone who switched to a Revo noticed an increase in miscues? I'm getting a lot more than my old cue. Unfortunately, I put a new to me brand of tip on my Revo, so I'm not sure if its something about the revo/diameter. Or the tip.

    FargoRate question, time?

    Does time factor into the rating calculation or robustness at all? For example Wu, Jiaqing is world number one. But we have a lot more recent results from other top players Shane, Dennis, Alex, etc... I'd think that old results (a few years or older) would become less weighted compared to...
