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.

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.

$1025..

12.4 is ok too!

Use a split instead of lumber is the solution. The butt was from lumber. And the grain was cross.
Well a patched and repaired cue is a fitting tool.
Beware the old fart with duct taped cue.

Wavy grain is pretty but a little brittle. Ash is more flexible.

The cue got an ouch yesterday as in the exchange of hands toss a fumble occurred and the cue hit the floor flat which sent the perfect vibe to Cole's repair. I did redo due to a boo boo. It's all solid now.

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.
