Kinda like how it's a cold day and so how can there be global warming?

My point is people get old and less active. So their rating can be too high.

Depending on what region you are in that's exactly what global warming can cause.

Being older and less active can have no meaning at all.

Time will tell.

Planned scarcity can drive demand and keep prices artificially high. See the diamond market.

Since you obviously didn't read every post in the thread.

One time for you.

I have no problem discussing the possible downswing in the career / game of Corey Deuel or anyone else for that matter.

So in other words it's not what poolscholar said, it's how he said it.

One guy who still is very sharp after Florida and BotB is Chang Yu Lung. The Taiwanese Typhoon. Won his first match 9-2 and just beat Chris Reinhold 9-3.

Lung plays fast indeed. He's blown through a lot of opponents during his trip to the states.

Like a lot of Asian players, he disappeared from the global pool scene during Covid. Started to play in WNT events somewhat regularly in 2023, but has only showed his true prowess this year.

Just over 40 years old, Change comes across as very confident and always seems to know what he wants to do. Doesn't seem to have any major weaknesses.

Still not sure what to make of his sudden stellar play on the WNT circuit. Need to see more.

Isn’t that splitting hairs…….is it more conical shape or more pro taper?

I had an 11.8 Revo. I didn't measure its taper while I owned it. My recollection is that it sure as hell didn't have the pro taper like the Rhino I later bought.

I agree with you. I think the Revo has conical taper.

Is there an explanation why so few black players seem to have interest pool at professional level..?

There three great articles about this subject written by the journalist and editor Mike Shamos. He wrote for Billiard Digest for many years and was a expert reviwer of the game. The artcale reflected more on the past than current players but are all well written and worth the read, you finish then better informed, they are:

"Parallel Universes"
"Black Ball"
"Pool Shark Fro Brooklyn" (Not written by Mike, but retrenched)
