Corey Deuel Battles To Get On Snooker Tour

Wishing him best of luck. Snooker's a great game. Shame I have to drive 50 miles to find a table, or I'd play it more.
 
why is he even bothering?
he is one of the best bar box players in the country right now
he struggles on the 10ft let alone the 12ft.

hope he has got a sponsor and this not of his own dime
 
Apparently, someone hurt his national pride by claiming that the English were the best cueists in the world.

I'm also at a loss why he is doing this.

Maybe because he's a pro player who enjoys the challenge and what he may learn from it. You never played in a tournament you had little to no chance of winning but played anyway for the experience?
 
Good luck to him, he probably has the most chance of any [current] US pro. He's tried before and not given up, that alone deserves kudos :)
 
I had to laugh really good at this one. "He struggles on the 10ft let alone the 12ft" You must have just started playing pool on your join date, because there is not a line of people begging to play him on any table.

His struggles are non existent. He continues to be one of the pioneers of thinking in the cue sports arena.

1. He thinks outside the box and likes new challenges.

2. Cash.

Some of the eccentric stuff he tries will fit right in.

True dat!

I think it is great Corey is trying to make it on the snooker tour. First and foremost, there is a lot more money in snooker, so why not? Corey has always been creative and willing to think outside of the box. Remember his hard break in one pocket? Ok, even though it wasn't the best idea, he was willing to try. Corey changed the game and the rules with his innovative soft break. I think people like to pigeon hole people and put them in a box, when in reality most people have a lot of interests and talents. Life is short and an adventure try everything you desire and life will be fulfilling. Good luck to Corey is what I say.

The year he won the US National Championship he kept surprising his opponents by rarely playing the shot they would have played especially in complicated situations. I remember one three-cushion bank of the black on a crowded table that may never have been tried before at snooker. He made it.
 
I can hear Billy Incardona on the tape, "Oh nooo, he went three rails in thee side!!!
 
He sees that this is one way to make cue sports pay out. I would bet you will see more and more snooker here in the U.S. over the next few years. With the amounts they are paying out,the only question would be...why would one not try?

Also, what a way to grow as a player, he will come back with an accent and a skill set better then most in the country. I say go for it. I know I'm ready for more 12 foot tables here in America.
