Best 1Pocket Player of the 80's - 90's

Without a doubt. 💯% Efren

I loved watching Shannon play. Bugs. Strawberry. Incardona. All fantastic, intelligent players.
Efren was NOT the best one pocket player in the 80’s and 90’s. From the pro ranks, Hopkins, Varner, Matthews would be at the top. Mizerak was good one pocket player. Fusco and Diliberto would also have to be mentioned, as would Sigel. Not as well known for one pocket moves, but Grady would always say that Sigel didn’t know a thing about one pocket, but his shot making skills and 14.1 skills had him winning a few pro tournaments when there was hardly any tournaments. Grady would say that Sigel could shoot an 8-out shooting out of a paper bag.

The gambling crowd would bet on Ronnie Allen, Shorty Johnson, Steve Cook, Strawberry, Bugs, etc.

Finger mark

Just listened to some commentary during a quarter final match in the British Open. The commentator mentioned that another competitor said they had missed shape on a critical shot because the cue ball "caught a finger mark?" Is this really a thing? Sounds to me like the most lame excuse I've ever heard.
