I think it's just a height thing. They probably bump their heads and get blinded by the low hanging lights.

Corey's career is a very interesting one. I don't think he was ever among the elite in terms of cueing prowess. What gave him his edge was his creativity and tactical play. In today's game -- the best strikers seem to win everything.

He in no way said he’s better than Corey .. hes asking a legit question. No Corey duel isn’t playing is best anymore.. No he’s not beating the best players in the world at this point. When have you seen him any where near a matchroom final day. It’s a legit question that how accurate is your Fargo if your game is falling off either from age or just lack of competitive play. That doesn’t mean I think you , me or any of the rest of us knuckleheads on here can beat him lol we are comparing his Fargo to the best in the world. Not to amateurs on a pool forum. By your silly post a commentator shouldn’t question anything a player does because he doesn’t have a high Fargo and thats just dumb

Pretty sure Fargo is weighted towards more recent games. Corey plays a lot of events. If his skill had dropped off that much it would be reflected for sure

Can't let players like Chua hang around. Only a matter of time before he finds his stroke.

I don't see any true or false to it. Ball speed and climate also factor in. The ball drops or not.

How bout giving your name, Fargo rating & where you compete so everyone here can critique your play & ability.

Surprise of the day might be Alex Bausch beating Mario He and Lin Ta Li on the first day.

Got me wondering: Who is the best native-born American player after SVB, Sky and Styer.

Oscar is still the guy, it seems, but he is not a WNT regular. Semi-regular now.

A few years ago it looked like Wolford would eventually be the one. No longer. He has plateaued. Doesn’t play all the big events and makes too many mistakes.

He still might be the fifth or sixth best American active on the WNT circuit, but not by much. Got married since the Mosconi and needs to earn a living. Not easy for more than a few US players to get sponsorship money.

Then there’s Billy Thorpe. He’s always been a tease. Still haven’t seen the evidence he can be a top 25 player globally.

Sam Henderson gets some buzz and he still is very young. Long way to go, though.

Fracasso-Verner keeps improving. Not spectacular, but steady. Just haven’t seen that extra gear you’d expect to see glimpses of in a player who is 23 years old.

Someone is going to emerge eventually, but I just don’t know who.

Ok, first, why my post count has anything to do with my time being around the game would have to be explained by you and second, Murphy passed away 30 years ago, how many black pros can you name that play professionally today?
