FLASHGORDONPOOL

Scott Gordon picked up a cue at 14 and by 17 had earned a 700 Fargo rating — elite by any measure. He played with the instincts of someone twice his age: fast, decisive, impossible to rattle. Then he made a choice most competitors never do. He put the cue down and raised his family.

Twenty-five years away from the game. Zero regrets. But the talent doesn't retire just because the player does. In 2026, Scott Gordon returned to the table — and Flash Gordon was born. The goal: reach the national pro tour by 2029. The approach: the same one that made him elite the first time. Fast. Decisive. Unstoppable.

His inspirations are Efren Reyes — quiet genius, Buddy "The Rifleman" Hall — old-school grit, and Fedor Gorst — technically flawless modern elite. Flash Gordon plays 9-Ball, 10-Ball, 8-Ball, One Pocket, and Banks. He is tracked on FargoRate and rising.
