Which rule changes?
What Happened with Corey Deuel ?
- Thread starter Diego Lugano
- Start date
The 3pt break rule is known as the "Corey Duel Rule".
As in 3 balls must cross the head string?
Balls made count also but yes. It came about in response to his patty-cake break shots.
Thanks for the clarification. I knew the why but I didnt know the who.
Sounds more like a forty-plusser who got some life experience over the years, than anything else.

Corey Duel is a wonderfully talented and versatile player. He plays ALL GAMES well.
I think he is playing his best 1-Pocket today.
Today, the competition level is more fierce than ever before. The influx of NEW YOUNG talent from around the world. Kaci, Gorst, Chinakov, Kevin Cheng, Ko Brothers + all the young Filipinos. Americans need to get moving...

Cory is a beast plain and simple! Think of what he could do if he had Deanoc sponsoring his cues instead of current company! Just saying!
Pretty much all the break rule changes have been brought about due to his expertise at the soft break.
It is possible for a guy to be as good as anybody and never win a championship
all the comptition, short races ,lucky rolls,bad breaks at the wrong time
there is just so much that can keep even the best player from winning
biorhythyms,I have seen Corey lose a few matches,but he still looks like a top player
For all these reasons<i am reluctant to say Efren is over the hill or through.if he wins the Derby next year I would not be surprised
I haven't even given up on Nick

He eloped with a pool cue and left home at a young age. There have been occasional sightings of him at pool halls across the United States. Recently he was seen with a new, sexier pool cue. The cue he eloped with just wasn't getting it done for him any more.
I felt bad for him when the Seminole Tribe ended their affiliation with pool. He had a good deal going.

He’s the best player to channel for 8 ball I think.
I know the shot you speak of. He made it in the Mosconi Cup a few years back. You could find it on youtube I'm sure.

Mike Trout has never won a world series...etc. He is still a world class player. Imagine the psychological barrier knowing that as soon as you figure out how to be a consistent breaker, they change the rules on you. It would feel like a conspiracy among the people who didn't have enough creativity/time/whatever to do what Corey was able to. I will say though that Ronnie Alcano DID win a world title with the soft break.
