    Yes, I would be a 7 or 9 depending on which league.
    Don't ever use that to judge a players speed, though, those rankings are ridiculously misleading.
    The apa is a pariah.
    Provides alot of entertainment for amateurs, rakes in millions, does nothing for the game of pool.
    Over the last 3 or 4 yrs a system has developed, called Fargo rate.
    It is the truest definition of a players skill from a numbers point of view.
    You will need to play in rated tournaments though, over a given time, to aquire a rating.
    Over 600 you're a proficient player.
    650 a good "A" player.
    700 a shortstop
    750 good road players, and lower tier pros.
    800 upper echelon pros
    800+ the elite boys (SVB, Ko Brothers, Filler).
    99% of APA 7 & 9 would run in 500-600 range.
    The handicap system kills and distorts the perspective of what good is.
    There's a huge world beyond the 7 & 9 rating because APA has no way to account for the skillset once you get so high.
    There's a million miles between a 650 FR player and a 800 FR player, but in APA they would hold the same skillset ranking.
    Just trying to give you a little perspective on it

    Edit - to add, the APA skillset varies drastically across the US. A APA 7 in Texas, couldn't hang with some of the APA 5s in some parts of the Northeast. You guessed it, due to the handicapping.
    It is based on the skillset of that area.

      Those Lucasis are jam up .

        I hope so. I didn’t get to play long with it but it felt super solid on hit and off center hits. Got a good deal on it after some chatting so I couldn’t pass it up

          And they all hit the same.
          Always have.
          That cannot be said for alot of production cues.

            They really are. Several of my friends swing them. I been wondering about that Furgo rating deal. All the cool kids have them. I need to get me one of those.

                  Gonna require playing in some good tournaments, and most likely a little travel.
                  Nothing a man that jumps airboats can't handle though .
                  Dallas has several, had a couple here in Longview the last couple yrs, Shreveport was having a really good one 4 times a yr at SidePockets but it's all shut down for the moment .
                  Places are open but the logistics for the organizers is shot all to he!!.

                          I was actually kidding. I have worked had to NOT be Fargo rated. Played a year of BCA league last year. They misspelled my name or something

                              Im not smart enough to flip them around but its pretty much the autographs of everyone in the 90s that was a top pro player.
