I don't see Corey as a big underdog here. Perhaps not an underdog at all. Corey has been playing some good pool for the last couple years, and I've seen him play some damn good 8 ball.
Jayson Shaw v Corey Deuel 8ball race to 21 on July22 - A mismatch ?
- Thread starter spartan
- Start date
Personally, I think Shaw would crush Deuel in a long nine or ten ball race right now on a big table. Of course, on a small table, such a match would be a waste of time.
Eight ball, on the other hand, plays quite well on the bar box, becoming far more tactical and a bit less about shooting skills. Deuel is clearly the superior tactician to Shaw although Shaw will likely outbreak him. Deuel showed solid eight ball form in Deuel/Dechaine vs. Bustamante/Reyes in 2014, won quite handily by the Americans in a scotch doubles format.
I think this will be very close. I'll guess Shaw 21 Deuel 18.

Shaw is breaking pretty well right now... and there's a video of shane running an 8-pack on a barbox.

Since the table sizes are being reduced by about 22.22%, will this be reflected in the price as well?
Never mind it looks like the price actually went up $0.04 this year. Obviously not a large amount, but I wouldn't have expected any increase with all of the money being saved by switching to the 7' tables.

I was at 4 Bears and the shot was amazing. Watched him play a lot of 8 ball that weekend. He can play with anyone in 8 ball.
LOL that is a good one
Actually reduction in price should be 40% (7x3.5=24.5 sq ft reduced from 9x4.5=40.5ft)
Will need a smaller screen to watch it
Good luck with the destruction of what is left of "professional" pool in the USA, I think you are on the right path with this change.
I don't believe that this match will be as one-sided as you think. Jayson possesses shear shot-making ability and his experience in English 8-ball tells us he is no stranger to the game. That being said, 8-ball is an imaginative game at the pro level and Corey Deuel may be one of, if not the most imaginative player in the world. I believe this will be a tight race.
ooh! wouldn't this be a chance to plug that "barbox cue"?
I like CSI, but I skip past any 7 footer table action. It looks to me like pro golfers using the "women's tees" or NBA teams playing on a half-court play yard.
There are tons of great players on YouTube on the US bar table championship, played on nice Diamonds. I watched maybe one match of that.
I think I'd rather watch The Hustlers matches than pros on 7 footers.
Maybe if they were setup with 4" pockets, slow cloth and alternate breaks then it may be possible to make a 7 footer table pro level equipment.

wait a second. aren't both these guys sponsored by meucci now?
I am all about 8 ball being played on bar tables. The us open 8 ball should be on bar tables. The only thing that makes 8 ball challenging on the 7 footer is CLUSTERS.
10 ball and any other rotation games should be on nine foot tables only as the only thing that makes those games more difficult for the pros is DISTANCE.

go look at Corey's FB page.
I think there are more ties ups in 10 ball on the 7 footer than on the 9 footer. It is actually a pretty challenging game on a bar table- especially if 2-3 balls aren't made on the break
The beans have already been spilled: SVB vs. Dechaine.
