I will say this. I would expect an over 700 Fargo who took up billiards to be well above a .3 after 2 years of reasonably frequent play and practice. I would expect .6-.8 somewhere. The pool player I mentioned above was probably around a .5 and I don’t know how often he played.
Finally getting a table
- Thread starter nataddrho
- Start date
I can't disagree completely.
With help and a lot of play, there's a lot of improvement to be had.
It's a player that's twice as good as me
Hello this is Paul (ProfessorQball ) Frankel. Here is my phone 901 210-7251 give a call and i would like to discuss with you 3cushion Billiards played on my table on Zoom with your table when you get it on Zoom.
Yes I will definitely reach out to you once I set up the table. I just finished moving and the garage is full of stuff, so in a few months I’ll be ready for setup.
awesome !!!
nice!!!
you got it heated ? how it plays? What cloth did you get?
Looks good!
I am not going to heat it. I will just clean it regularly to keep it somewhat fast. I have a humidifier for the garage. 9’ table, Siminos 300, brand new Klematch rails. It was extremely humid Friday (75% outside) and the balls didn’t jump, so I’m satisfied for a garage table. It gets slow after an hour and a half because of dirty balls, and after two days with Masters chalk. Vacuuming and cleaning balls restores it back to normal. Switching to Taom.
It’s challenging enough for me at this point in time so this should last me quite a while. I already have a good stroke so I think I will learn quickly.
did you use professional table mechanic? does the table have heating on it, but you just don´t use it? i am just curious. If it does not they heating is easy to install DIY.
Also if you want to get some games where to get better learning choices buy Shooters Pool and join our tables
Here are many Korean players who are 1.3-1.4 real life. Learn a lot playing vs them I learned fast when saw shots here(hit save button to record it) and then practice them on real table

No i live in Finland. No 3c tables much around..
I used a professional mechanic. The table was only $500 but the setup was many times that including materials. This is an old pool table that was converted, but still had the original gum pool profile rubber rails. He has a special steel jig he made and routed the rails to fit Klematch. We also needed to make a tool to tighten the old spanner head bolts since modern threaded bolts didn’t fit. The table is very level and there aren’t any weird spots. The slate was also heavier than normal even though it was 1.5 inches. I don’t know why it was so much heavier, but that is only good for carom. The table has no heating and I can easily install if I want to in the future. I’ll maybe try shooters pool but now that I have a table it is better than video games. However I did learn a lot from the simulators already that makes a big difference in real life.did you use professional table mechanic? does the table have heating on it, but you just don´t use it? i am just curious.

Sounds you hired right man to the Job!
And no worries about shooter´s i just know if shooting alone a lot it can get boring in the end
I think also best way to learn nowadays is really use combination of simulator and practice on real table. It is nice to analyze shots from replays and then using knowledge on use in real
Btw did i mention i did not shoot 3c in 15 years on real table but when i entered my first 3c competition(2 years ago) i won warm up tournament day before just shooting/learning in Shooters haha. On tourney i did play bad but it was fun anyways
