100??

Looks to me like he didn't make it to nearly 100.

What did he get to? I may have to change the title. I got a lot of video from this event and haven't watched all of it all the way through, but I thought it was labeled as a 100 ball run.

He runs 50 from the start of the video and then scratches attempting the 51st ball. That's only halfway through the video. He then takes a couple more attempts to get another run started, but keeps scratching or missing. He gets another run off the ground, runs 53, and gets badly out of position. The video ends while he's deciding what to do next.

So 2 runs, of 50 and 53, the second one unfinished, with a few false starts in between.

I haven't seen anybody use that beginning shot. He spreads the balls but leaves the cue ball up table.
 
The title should probably state, "Corey Deuel playing straight pool". Because he doesn't actually run 100. He makes over a 100 balls, but not in a single run.

Good video though. I like watching Corey play. Thanks for the post, I gave you a good rep.
 
My favorite part of the video:::

::: After scratching to end his initial run, then leaving himself on the end rail after the breakshot his second run, John Schmidt steps in to assist and suggest a more effect side pocket breakshot.

Corey racks the balls then swipes John's breakshot off of the table, determined to do it his way. I love John's response, check out the screen capture:::

The speech blurbs are only my portrayal of what I think occurred. :rolleyes:

This all goes down @ roughly the 22:00 mark in the video.

Thanks for posting Dennis!
 
I would like to see what Corey could do if he had some good training in straight pool - I bet if he learned the game and practiced at it for a while he would definitely put up some awesome numbers. The way he moved around the table in this video - its not gonna happen like that.

Corey makes some very crucial sequence errors - SEVERAL TIMES (which for a straight pool purist) kind of makes this hard to watch. That is mainly because on several occasions he shoots the wrong ball at the wrong time or crashes into stuff... he is forced to eliminate key balls and break balls as a result of poor position - or eliminates him because he landed on them by accident and they were just ripe for the pickens... lol... he is probably one the greatest shotmakers ever, however that will only get you so far with 14.1 - and he found that out eventually.

He does a great job dealing with just about every situation, but the general rule with cue ball movement in straight pool is less=more. You cannot use 9 ball position patterns around the rack area or you will bump into stuff, scratch, whatever. Corey does all of that and pays the price. Like I said earlier - you can tell he doesn't play the game or possess a lot of knowledge of the strategy and patterns, but to get above 50 like he did shows what a great player he is. Give Corey a little 14.1 knowledge combined with his creativity and he'll put up a couple of hundred - it's just how he is.
 
Haha, the best part of that exchange is that after Deuel dismisses Schmidt's advice, Deuel goes on to scratch on the break shot. I'm certainly no Corey Deuel, but if Mr. 403 wants to give me a few pointers at 14.1 I listen!

After watching over 50% of the video I found myself fast-forwarding just to see how he screws things up next.

;)

No offense to Corey, I'm just cynnical.
 
i think you have to take into acctount that the guy is more less screwing around, not genuinely playing serious. i mean, look at the difference in his demeanor when he's playing in that video, and when he was playing efren at the us open for example..in this one he's smiling and laughing, in the other he looked serious and didn't even say 2 words the whole race. i know straight pool defaintely isn't his main game, but if he were playing it as seriously as he plays 9 ball in tounements, i think that focus factor would make a huge difference.
 
lmao it was very funny when corey scratched in the side straight after dismissing john's advice - and corey knows it too. you can see the grin on his face!

He wasn't exactly just screwing around. He was trying to win some money in the DCC 14.1 challenge by getting the high run and trying to get in the top eight to qualify for the tournament that was eventually won by Darren Appleton. The difference in demeanor might be because he is kind of new to the game and not exactly sure what he should be doing.
