Been playing pool for 40+ years. Didn't play competitively, like league/tournaments until I was 19-20 though. Just play in a BCA league now for the last 6-7 years.
I've played with nearly a dozen different brands of sticks; some favorites have been Pechaur, Joss, Viking, Predator, McDs, and Meucci. I always come back to Meucci though. Just feels right. My all-time favorite cue was a Meucci DH-1, and a Meucci HP-3. Played some really good pool with those two sticks.
I've played with CF shafts, and they are pretty nice in certain respects, but I'm not sure they do much for beginner-average players. If you understand the mechanics/physics of the game, CFs are pretty helpful, imo.
Before Fargo, I was rated as high as a 9, but mostly I was considered a strong 7 to average 8. I never played more than a minimum of safeties and took too many chances, which hurt my overall rating.
I was still kind of playing somewhat competitively when Fargo became a thing, and I was rated a 485. Guessing that would be about a weak-mid 7.
