it’s hard to compare styles from yesterday and today. Players back when Efren was in his prime hardly jumped, however I think Efren was an extremely smart player and would have adapted if he had to use the jump cue more often.

You could say the same thing in virtually every sport.. that’s why it’s hard to compare past champions with current ones.
To me even though I love tiger woods Bobby jones is the greatest to ever play the game. Who knows what he could have done with today’s equipment.

App couldn't access the internet on my phone.

It seems like you should comment on, and give SVB a little more credit, for beating Filler. SVB had Kazakis for a long time, then lost a couple of matches, now he has started beating him again. Opposite with Filler, lost to him a lot, but now he has come out winner. More then once. Filler is a great champion, but SVB is still right there!

Absolutely right. Shane beat a who's who of pool on the road to victory, with Filler in the round of 16, FSR in the quarters, and Kaci in the semis. Otutside of a WPM final a few years back, he has consistently annihilated Kazakis, and I felt certain he'd win the final.

As you note, Josh has worn SVB out over the years in the biggest spots, but Shane was the better man when they met on Saturday. Actually, if you read my posts, I am in the camp that feels that SVB is still playing the best pool of his life. There's absolutely no reason he cannot win another major soon. Wishing him the best and won't it be fun when SVB and Josh lock horns at the Mosconi a few months from now?

It is hard. If jumping were a thing back then, the players would have jumped, and the good ones would have jumped well.

In the future they'll say that Fedor and Josh couldn't compete in the new era because they hadn't mastered 3D zero-gravity patterns. It's always something.

Efren played all the games well but in today’s game he'd be a weakling jumping the ball and breaking from the box. In tough defensive battles he might prevail on any size pockets but he simply could not put packages together and jump out of trouble. In fact many top Filipinos have difficulty jumping the ball. The younger generation has picked up that skill though. Efren still played OP and Banks well enough to be a force amongst the top echelon but not the favorite to win out. Like the rest of the world Father Time always prevails.

Sometimes when I feel a little dog coming during a shot, I tell myself "I'm Luther Lassiter and I'm not going to miss"
