    If Banks and One Pocket had a Fargo Rating system, then what players do you think would be in the 800's, or considered Elite level players?

    Fargo has shown over the years that the type of game played at the higher levels of skill does not make a difference, the best players in 9/10/8 ball will be at the top in other games as well. Does a great 1 pocket player have a better chance of beating an SVB/Filler/Gorst/Ko at their game...

    1000 Fargo

    We need a prop bet, when will Fargo creep up to 1000 and who will be the first one. An a side note to this, many games do what is called a "Stat Squish", basically as the players go up in levels/skills, they add in higher level items till the numbers get silly, damage what used to be in the...

    Heading to Chattanooga 1/27, Dallas/Ft Worth 2/9

    Will be around Chattanooga for a week starting Jan 27th, then will be around Dallas Feb 9 for a week as well. If anyone is in those areas and wants to get together to play let me know. Never been to TX, looking forward to the trip even though it's an hour longer plane ride I normally do for work.

    Best pit table in the country

    The "TV" table in Railyard in Louisville has seen a ton of matches with decent seating. The TAR studio maybe for one no longer around.

    Old cue

    That pretty much nails the cheap Asian cue bit, many of them used the 5/16 x 18 pin. It's would not be bone, or any other natural material, but plastic.

    Money in pro events, the moneyboard list

    Maybe I have a bad memory, but I don't remember ever seeing everyone in the top 10 at over $100,000 in earnings. Is Matchroom and the Predator Pro Series doing thing right? Are the players making extra from the Chinese 8 ball events? It used to be maybe 2-3 players were over 100k for the...

    Old cue

    Looks like a cheaper Asian made cue, 99% sure it would not be ivory or bone. What pin does it have?

    Mezz sigma vs meucci the pro maple?

    Mezz, in all shafts, have a stiffer hit than pretty much any Meucci shaft I can recall using it. For deflection, the Mezz is lower deflection. For hit feel, I would prefer the Pro shaft, but that is my preference to have a smoother more natural hit feel.

    Funny Things Said to You at the Pool Room

    I have posted this before, and was not said to me, but to this day 25 years later it's still the oddest idea about pool I have heard. Two guys at a table, just bangers, one asked "what is chalk for anyway?" as he was using it. The other replied "Well, you see how some of it falls on the table...

    I am 90 mins from there now, near Orlando, but was not able to go due to work schedule :-(

    Predator Men's 10 Ball JAX

    I was not a fan of the format at first, but it is much better than Ultimate Pool, and after seeing in person how the audience gets exited over the shootout, I changed my mind. Even the pro players gathered around a shootout to watch it. When they get to a highish number without missing...

    How many pool table can I fit in 2000 sq ft room

    Are you asking for storage? A lot, but would just be math also hehe. Just remove the space needed for play, and you can stack a few on top of each other also.

    How many pool table can I fit in 2000 sq ft room

    Depends on the size of table and other space needs. A table needs 5 feet around each side for decent space to play on, so say 15x 20 feet for a 9 footer. The rest is math.

    Mosconi Cup isn't on DAZN?! Please no spoilers

    It's gotten rowdier and more like a zoo, I am not a fan of it either. Best watched on mute LOL It's like a parody of Basketball or College Football now more than a cue sport.

    APA 9-Ball Foul Question

    A foul is a foul, scratch or otherwise. That is the factor if marking a dead ball.

    Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

    The cues people aspire to own now are Predator and Cuetec. Those are by far the most common cues and shafts I see people use, and there is really not much research past those two done for what else is out there. Probably due to how easy it is to do web searches and see ads online now. Years...

    Introducing the new Bitman rack 😳

    That's the one that I was trying to find for my post, there's also one that looks similar but has a 9-ball rack attached to the eight ball rack.

    Who builds the Becue, full pool cues, and are they popular?

    They are a very niche market, very few players know about them (outside from the hardcore players like those on AZB), but they are good quality and were early in the CF craze. It's like being a collector of movie posters for Westerns made between 1960 and 1962. The few who do it are probably...

    Introducing the new Bitman rack 😳

    That really looks like Ikea furniture, but if handmade I can see the high prices. However, I don't see a need for handmade IKEA products LOL
