Johnny hasn't competed regularly for almost 20 years. It may take a few tourneys to get his seasoning back.

Yup. Staying power is key. Albin had a great six-year run, from 2016 to 2022. Longer than most of today's players, but it's surprising how quickly he has fallen off.

I was thinking to myself, who are the legitimately great players still playing who have had great runs of 20 years or more. Not many. SVB is in a class by himself. Perhaps Biado.

Filler hasn't put in 20 years, but he's already there. Gorst could get there, too.

Fans and commentators keep talking about all the great talent around the world. But who is really a superstar? None have emerged since Filler and Gorst.

False Torrification just requires little to no oxygen in the atmosphere. It can very much be done in a chamber pumped with an inert gas

100% false. Torrification is done in atmospheric conditions with inert gas (nitrogen) pumped in. It can be done under a vaccum but that is a much much more complicated massively more difficult thing to do than using inert gasses to displace oxygen in the air.

All industrial Torrification is done via inert gas injection

The 22-year old Szymon Kural (Fargo 799) belongs in the conversation. He is a former World Junior 9ball champion and got to the final of a major at the 2025 Qatar 10-ball.
