Drills to correct your alignment

You won't EVER see pros slow rolling balls unless absolutely necessary

As usual another thread full of bad advice
If you expect high accuracy with fast shots without even verifying to see if you have accuracy with slow shots (and at the expense of not looking “cool” to your friends for a while) then you should dig out a foundation and build a nice comfortable house on your plateau.

Did Adam ever build Karella cues?

There’s a bit of timeline to this, Both Pete and Don walked away from this venture when the first batch of cues came. Several years later; Spektar restarted Karell alone. The Karelia Cue Copany were not part of Adam or Competition sports at the onset.

Thanks for the info. So, were these good quality cues? Compared to maybe a 90's era Lucasi, for example? How cheap were they? I am unable to find any info about that. Just very curious. I hope they were at least decent. Not like the quality of a Players cue, for example. Thanks.

Cues by O.L. Briggs & Son of Boston MA made sometime between 64 and 125 years ago during that business's existence (it had been O.L. Briggs since 1870).

The 16 and 17 ounce cues appear to be made of mahogany and maple, while the 18 and 19 ounce cues, purple heart and maple.

Cue lengths 57" to end of tenon. No ferrules on the cues but included are six buffalo-horn ferrules that can be installed (from Cue Components).

Butt diameters near bumper for the 16, 17, 18, and 19 ounce cues are 1.35", 1.37", 1.39", and 1.39" diameter, respectively.

Butt diameters at the first splice on cue at about 12" from butt end are 1.22" for all cues.

Diameters of cue below tenon are: 12.1, 12.3, 12.6, 12.5 mm, resp.

Tenon diameters are 6.5 diam.x14.6mm length, 6.5x11mm, 6.2x13.1mm, 6.6x14mm, resp.

Also included are parts likely used a hundred years ago: i) six buffalo horn ferrules (four 17x27mm with 6mm tenon & air holes and two 17x33mm undrilled from Cue Components); and ii) Champion 13mm cue tips.

Some wobble to the cues.

(Un)Popular Opinion on Fargo Rate

he played to a 714 against 600 players and won. his fargo rating was lower than them but he played much higher, so the higher playing player won just as forgo would predict.

if he played to his rating he would not likely finished in the list.

why or how he played way over his rating needs to be determined.

I think you are 100% correct here. I didn't think you could bend a robust fargo that much. A few possibilities, some more nefarious than others. With no proof of anything but playing his heart out we have to give the benefit of the doubt here. I have seen people benefit vastly from just having their mental game pumped up for some reason.
