How strong is a 604?
On the bubble. I think there is a reason that a lot of tournaments are limited to 600 or less.How strong is a 604?
But how good are you?I'm a Fargo zero. At this point that's about what Fargo is worth to me. That could change but that would be incidental to tournies becoming available.
How good is good? I've played as a B, as an A, and even a triple A. It all depended on the field. Ratings of that type aren't just overrated, they're BS. I could probably get anything I wanted from a real player.But how good are you?
How strong is a 604?
I’d say a little better than that…High B. Can beat the 9 ball ghost occasionally, but would lose the farm betting on himself each set.
I agree, good enough to be competitive and cash in regional tournaments.I’d say a little better than that…
How robust is your rating? The players I personally know at 600 wouldn’t fair as well as that. I think they have about 200-400 games in the system.My rating is 589 which is close to 604 and I can beat the 9 ball ghost about 50% of the time on my 9ft Diamond.
Then you are likely underrated. Been discussed on the forum often. The consensus is that it takes a Fargo of about 625-650 or so before you can expect to play the nine ball ghost even, and higher than that on tough equipment.My rating is 589 which is close to 604 and I can beat the 9 ball ghost about 50% of the time on my 9ft Diamond.
Yeah my robustness is low but that would probably cause my rating to be where it is. However a 604 player could be in the same boat as meHow robust is your rating? The players I personally know at 600 wouldn’t fair as well as that. I think they have about 200-400 games in the system.
I would say this is accurate. I can beat the seven ball ghost most days on my 9ft Diamond pro, pockets at slightly less than 4.5. When I play the nine ball ghost, it’s a whole different outcome. I live in a remote area so I have no Fargo rating but play many players that are in the 610-640 range and play competitively with them.Then you are likely underrated.

Of course, it's possible that you have a terrible break and a poor tactical game, in which case your performance against the ghost will outrun your performance against an opponent, but outside of other pronounced weaknesses in other parts of the game, your experience is uncommon. If you can beat the ghost 50% of the time on a diamond, getting to 650 should be an easy goal to accomplish.
Very true and maybe some day it will go up but my comment was just to show Fargo isn’t always accurate. Remember the guy that came on here and said that his Fargo was to low and everyone laughed at him and said he just thought he was better than he actually was. It wasn’t me either. I could care less about my rating. I just play pool. I’ve also won several regional events and a 64 player open event.Then you are likely underrated. Been discussed on the forum often.
