So.. I have decided I want to make the attempt to really commit to improving my overall level of play, AND Fargorate this year, but I have having some trouble figuring out which events to play. At one point I was around 590 Fargorate, and that didn't even include the tear I went on for about 6...

So, not that many matches here in Germany get reported to Fargorate, but we DO have some players with established Fargorates, and Robustness of 400+.. I remember looking at Salotto a few years ago, and it seemed prohibitively expensive, specifically because it seemed like both players had to...

Hey all.. I heard that CueSilk is just a Dimethiconol/Cyclomethicone based haircare product, massively marked up, and some people have suggested "BioSilk" as an alternative, that has the same basic ingredients.. Can someone advise me on exactly "which" BioSilk product we are talking about here...

So, I read a few other threads on Simonis 860HR, but they seem to be a bit older, and I think Simonis might have tweaked the cloth a bit in the past few years. My club here in Germany recently recovered with 860HR, and while folks have mentioned that it plays similar to 860, that was not my...

Hey all, just got a new set of balls, and need to replace the felt for my unbranded ball polisher, that holds all 16 balls at once. There is a lot of dirt/particles in it currently, and I don't want to polish my new (Duramith) ball set until I replace the felt on the disc, and the holes. I read...

I am confused about whether there is a full Duramith set available with Duramith measles ball currently? If so, exactly what is the name of the set? I don't like the look of the Aramith tournament CB, and want a measles ball for sure. And I definitely do NOT want the black set.. My pool club...

I will coming for the full tournament, though I have sick for the past two weeks with both a respiratory virus, and a bacterial infection in my face, so not much practice.Should be healthy in another week, before I fly from Germany. Real name - Russell Chewning Who else is coming? Bonus for...

For basically the first time in my life, at 47 years old. I did get one session each with Scott Lee and Mike Sigel, with limited success. Mike Sigel pretty much had no real input on fundamental flaws, and Scott Lee was trying to completely change my stroke, which to be blunt, and have gotten...

Here in Germany, I would like to see some of our regional tournaments entered into Fargorate. Will Fargorate accept any tournament results, as long as there are full match scores? If so, what is the method to submit those results? We have a lot of players in these events with a Fargorate...

Just curious if DCC tournament officials have gotten their sh!t together and started reporting full scores yet, so Fargorates can be calculated off the biggest event of the year? It's the only tournament I play, and I travel from Germany to do so. It still pisses me off that I can't really move...

So.. I am left eye dominant, and I play right-handed. I am pretty sure this is severely effecting my game, as I often struggle to know whether I am "on line" when shots get out past about 6 feet, and even if I make these balls, I often hit them slightly too thick or thin. I never really payed...

For those who haven't heard..sleinen on here was on an APA team (against his better judgement), and made a run all the way to the finals in the APA national 8 ball championship, only to get disqualified by the APA, all prize monies revoked, and a two year ban.Plus, apparently his League Operator...

I am not sure if this has been discussed on here... But a lot of my pool buddies in Colorado are getting into something called "The Social Pool Network". It comes across as very MLM-oriented, and I have seen quite a few friends starting to go nuts with their marketing of this "league" or...

Was reading a pool blog written by a lady I played with in TX, and she mentioned that generally, she turns down commentary on matches unless a pro is commentating, then mentions she won a national event, and can't even list to the match commentary.. So, given that pros in general are struggling...

Anyone got a Gold Crown III compatible ball return system that they might be able to sell me? I need a rough estimate for shipping to Mainz, Germany, as well.. OR, if you know where I can lay my hands on one over here? Thanks, ShortBus Russ

For those who weren't aware, Larry Nevel had his leg amputated within the last calendar year due to medical complications, and was playing at Derby from a wheel chair. I think Larry dd pretty well in the bank tourney, winning a few rounds, but something happened in the One Pocket, Larry got...

So, I've been looking for a tune up before Derby, and am travelling to first WA, then FL in the week before Derby.. Given that not many top flight champions live in WA, that really only left FL as the plausible choice. In central Florida, the only options I really saw were Ray Martin and Mike...

mike, Just curious if you've tried working out anything with the tournament team for DCC to track results from Derby? It's the only big tournament I play most years in the U.S., and it'd be nice to see if my Fargorate score is progressing. Perhaps set up a tournament page on cuescore or...

When's the best time to stick a knife in and give it a good twist? Right after a tough loss, that's when... Lol...
