    Are Fargo Ratings inflating?

    I didn't mention Fargo rating in that comment. He was implying that players are better than they used to be. I don't think so.

    Are Fargo Ratings inflating?

    Let me play devil's advocate. Have the player's skills increased or the accessibility of matches via Youtube and the internet made it appear that way. I don't think the players on average are any better than before. It's the internet making players from all over the world easily accessible for...

    Are Fargo Ratings inflating?

    Fargo ratings are garbage. In the past 5 weeks I was 8-2 and 7-3 x 4 and my fargo went up maybe 8 points. At least once every week I played and beat players that were 50 to 80 pts higher. Last week I played on Wednesday. Was super tired and weak. Ended up with strep throat and missed Thursday...

    Diamond Professional red oversize 8 foot - what cushions?

    I picked up two Diamond Pro 8 foot tables (oversized 92" x 46" nose to nose) from a local bar for $200 each. Wayne Waters put Championship Tour Edition k55 cushions on them following Glen's advice. We also put Championship Tour Edition 3030 cloth on the table (excellent alternative to Simonis)...

    Good for the real HER…..

    I'll never bow down to pronouns. Man or woman, male or female, he or she and that's it. I refuse to be a part of someone else's insanity.

    perimeter light

    There are 480 LED'S per 4 foot section and 92 LED's per corner. 3,248 LED'S total. I ended up with 3 remote controls. The remotes are radio frequency so no need to have line of sight to the lights. Back to the table restoration....

    Gold Crown 1 restore

    Amazing work. I was planning on refurbing a GC myself and after looking at tons of other tables I had decided to use the exact color scheme you have used, even down to the decals. That table is a true beauty. Better than the original!

    Pool Ball Weights

    Interesting that the Dynaspheres Bronze set had the most consistent weight and size. I have a set arriving Monday. I'll weigh and measure them when they arrive and see if they are as good as the ones at the top of this post.

    perimeter light

    I have a 3 fixture brass light I picked up off Craigslist for free and restored. I believe it's an antique because of the heavy build quality. It has very large shades that are about 24 inches wide at the openings. It is 8 foot long end to end. It looks very nice when lowered to about 31 inches...

    perimeter light

    I've done a fair amount of research on perimeter light options. The Predator's with color and dimming options run $1,350 US for the 9' version ($1,500 all in here in Texas). The knockoffs don't have color or dimming options and are about $600 US. They also have light bleeding issues at all the...

    Scott Frost's opinion about Predator tables

    That Predator table looks like an upgraded Mizerak and probably plays about the same but at 15X the price. No way I'd ever buy anything Predator. If someone gave me one I'd sell it and grab a GCIV or Diamond. Overpriced junk!

    Uni-loc Joint issues

    Let me revive an old thread. :D Since the Uniloc quick release is a metal to metal joint I just put Hoppe's gun cleaner on a Q-tip and clean the pin and socket. I then wipe the pin with a clean cloth and the socket with the clean end of the Q-tip. I repeat the process with Hoppe's gun lube. I...

    MEUCCI CARBON Pro SHAFT

    I just bought a Meucci Ultra Piston 4 Blue off of Ebay from budgetcues.com. The one I purchased had a Uniloc upgrade, 30 inch 12.25mm Carbon Pro II shaft with the Medium Ivory Ultraskin. I was using an inexpensive maple shaft for a few months with a Kamui Clear Medium(broke my OBII down the...
