I'm not really a religious follower of the game as you are, how would you rate Filler as an all-around player?

Seems the world is committed to slowing down the best 9ball player of this generation, and possibly the best 9ball player that ever lived. At the Derby, they have tweaked the break year after year and they reintroduced jump cues which were banned for decades at the Derby. It doesn't really matter, Filler succeeds at the Derby 9ball year after year and has set the bar so high that, at times, it seems unfair .... but it is fair!

I couldn't be happier for SVB, the 2026 Derby City Master of the Table, but when it comes to 9ball, he is no Josh Filler, and he never played 9ball at the level that Josh Filler exhibits today.

On the other hand, I've been blessed to see live performances by Percy Cardona (Mavericks) and Wayne Toups. Now when an accordion is played at that level, I can listen all day.

I don't think any Schon models, which I consider to be production cues, have an MSRP below $1,000.
