Corey Deuel's only contribution to the game. And people are still buying the fairy tales that he's "reading" the racks. lol
I accepted your apology once for trolling me on this forum. Won't happen again.![]()
Lol. Keep dreaming. I've never apologized to you once. Most of your posts are ok. This thread is complete garbage.
I'm not saying that the discovery of what you can do with a perfect rack didn't instigate it with the arrival of the Sardo rack. But it wasn't the Sardo rack or Corey whining for the format change. It was the Euros, the loudest being Mika & that is the history.
Thankfully the US Open & Mike Zuglans events still recognize traditional formats, as it should be. You're entitled to your opinion as I am mine.
Why do you keep posting in this thread, then?
You did apologize to me for trolling. You can deny it, but I remember your PM to me.
He was probably the game's most talented breaker. Your post is off the mark. He was reading racks. And, some people don't know this, but he could crush the ball when he wanted to. He just chose the soft break because it gave him the best chance to win. I admire him for figuring it out.
Well, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. He got the soft break right and that's all there is about this mediocre player, from where I'm standing. In fact, I was watching a couple of nights ago the 2009 MC which was won by the USA and guess who was the worst breaker on both teams. Cue ball constantly out of control, rarely more than one ball passing the head string and almost half of the times he didn't make a ball. Good stuff from such a break "professor".
And how many US Opens have you won?
Any other titles?
Yeah. Thought not.
Not a fan of the soft break. Don't mind the break box either. 3 balls should be side pocket not headstring though or combination of pocketed balls & past side pocket balls. Don't like the 9 on the spot or my supreme hatred, the alternating break. It takes an aspect from the game that shouldn't be removed, applying pressure & the ability to respond to it or not, it reveals those that may have a good game but a 10 cent head real quick.
You win the internet of the day.:thumbup:
Oh. So you support SOME of the Euro changes.
Just clarifying.
Oh and since we're clarifying are you now acknowledging that it was the Euros responsible for the Millennial Mentality everybody gets a turn change now, just sayin'

What you said about playing overly aggressive in these short races is the KEY. Sky also took a flier all of the way down the long rail to lose the game when there was an relatively easy safety to play instead. You could almost see the look of amazement of Team Europe when he chose that shot.Our players, especially Shane, play waaaaay to Aggressive for short races. When Shane goes for the super tough shot that doesnt have guaranteed position he sells out in the short race.
Longer race and he has more time to make it up and there is less chance of him missing a bunch of those shots. One miss like that will completely screw you in a race to 5. Especially alternating break where your opponent gets to the table no matter how good or bad you play.
The Euros just play a much more conservative game the we do and that is what wins races to 5. Justin's full table, off angle 1-9 combo yesterday was absolutely amazing and at that point our guys didnt have much to lose, but a missed shot like that and we lost that set worse then what we already did. IMO, that was the best match of the tournament so far, with the exception of Justin and Skylar on Day 1.
9-ball is very aggressive in general and at a lower level like most of us Amateurs the aggressiveness can win a short race. At the elite level it sells it out.
Absolutely ridiculous.
Tennis doesn't play winner serves, football (real football) doesn't player scorer kicks off, American football and Ruby don't restart matches by the team who scored receiving the ball, basketball doesn't put the ball back in the hands of the team who scored either, etc., etc., etc. I could go on and on.
Do all of these sports have "millenial mentalities"?
Maybe it was the people who raised us.... Oh wait that means it's your fault now that's not gonna fly is it?
LOL
What a sore loser. He has my sympathy though, all I remember of him in that match is trying to escape from snookers. Gray toyed him tactically.
