Corey Deuel still good? Fargorate

I'm sure his game isn't what it was years ago, but he still plays well. He just got back from world games so could be jet lag. He doesn't seem to take it too seriously anymore. I think it's been years since I've even seen him play two events in a row with the same cue. He normally sells it after the event and has Meucci drop ship another to the next event...or borrows one from a local. He had a FB post last week about trading his cue for a non-stop flight home....lol

Do previous champions still get free entry to US open? I'm guessing they do, or guys like him, Earl and Rodney probably wouldn't be there.

Probably not fair to compare handicapping pool to golf. No one ever ran a 5 pack in golf and kept you in your chair for 30 minutes or simply ran out the set. :)

My point being is that golf handicaps are based on recent history. Fargorate is not. I'm not saying to use golf handicapping for pool

Corey Deuel still good? Fargorate

Just watched him get smoked at the us open. He tried a jump shot and didn't even hit airborne. His fargorate is 773... What if he's actually a 730 or 40 now...then I wondered

How long will it take fargorate to accurately reflect how he's playing now, given that's he's older and less active? What if he stops playing? is he forever at 773? Seems odd

A golf handicap uses the most recent 20 rounds but I think fargorate goes back years. I'd be curious to see the biggest drop in rating from a pro with a long history

It's like reverse sandbagging, forever stuck in his glory days, sorry Corey 😅

Compete without fear

We have, at our pool hall, an individual that has a reputation of severe sharking. It p'd me off how how I let him beat me last time we played a match, with just the anticipation of him possibly sharking me affected my game. I have only about 2 years of Billiards competing under my belt, and I let him get to me. Everybody in the house tries to avoid him, but sometimes in League you just have to play him, even though you wish you didn't have to. It was my fault, as I should not let someone affect my mental game like I did that day, and I should have just focused on what I was doing. The guy just can't keep his mouth shut, and I have to realize this, and just not pay attention to it.

There's guys like that everywhere lol and I just noticed more and more of it lately. The commentary seems to have picked with the guys I play with once a week and I'll lay a good safety or hook on them and say OOPS sorry I didn't mean that and walk away from the table laughing. This week I'm gonna get in their heads even more when I start singing to the music and throw in a dance step or two lol.

Butt Protection

cueball2010
I have been thinking about getting a really nice Butt (wrap-less). But I have noticed that light scratches are almost unavoidable. Granted they usually happen to the clear coat on top of the paint/stain. I don't want to wear out the clear coat with constant buffing either. So, the question is:

Has anyone ever wrapped there butt with a clear wrap similar to car vinyl?
or Used a ceramic coat?
or have another Idea to protect the finish. Like a flexible screen protector?

BK Rush

trob said:
The bk rush might have been one of the worst pool purchases I made lol I bought it because I’m anal and like everything to match but it doesn’t break one bit better then my bk3 did 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, I had a BK Rush and a BK4 and they broke almost exactly the same...maybe the BK Rush had the tiniest bit less deflection but I'm not even sure of that. Ended up selling the BK Rush because I had the green set of BK Rush and Air Rush and it was worth a bit of $$$ on the used market and I had already found a jump cue I liked better. Just using the BK4 for now and it's great, can always get a BK Rush shaft for it down the road if I want carbon again.
