The one you don't like me playing is the guy ill rob.... Lol that's how I roll
Are you talking about Robbie L.?
True, well partially. Austin did lay his cue down and started playing tennis and was competing and defeating players from his and upper age brackets in the amature ranks in California.
Then he discovered Girls or they discovered him.
He's grown to 6' plus. Still 17 or just turning 18.
He's been playing pool in tournaments when he needs gas money... LOL.
He is also doing well in school, and will probably continue his education.

Dick set the standard for pool in western South Dakota and the whole state.Shane benefited from this high standard and its effects on a core group of people who lived the game for a long time.Shane's constant exposure to the game via his grandfather,grandmother,his mom and her sister and various pool hall rats were his biggest influences.Shane had to fight for position in the pecking order like everyone else except he was always the little kid in the room.
Shane's biggest strength---he is a HUMAN SPOUNGE.He picks things up visually faster than anyone I have ever known.
That is truly a good trait to have in any endeavor. Pool takes a lot of concentration to execute shots proficiently.
Another trait I have noticed that most champions have in common is they're smart. I mean "high IQ" smart, not book smart. They seem to be able to digest things faster.
Jimmy Reid once told me that he had the highest SAT score in the country one year when he was in high school.
Also, some pool players seem to do well in other sports, such as tennis, golf, bowling, and baseball. I guess they pick up the techniques and strategies faster than most.
No matter how smart anyone is, there's one thing for sure, and that's in pool, you must hit balls over and over again. It is like learning how to play a musical instrument, and to play sweet music, one must practice, practice, practice. There are no shortcuts to success.
Pick a player DP and put em in action!
It seems like a lot of players on the list are known regionally within the US, but don't seem to get out much. Plus not many of them have participated in tournaments that have footage posted on Youtube. So it's hard to judge how good they really are.
As a bench mark, how do they compare to the Ko brothers from Taiwan?
You've probably seen Ko Pin Yi's videos and probably know how well he plays. He just won a major tournament in Indonesia in 2011. He's 22.
Video of him winning the title, beating SVB. I think they play at about the same speed. SVB's break wasn't working and that was mainly the difference.

His younger brother, Pin Chung, came second in All-Japan Open and second in Malaysian Open, both in 2010. He just won a stop in the Taiwan Men's Pro Tour last month, becoming the youngest ever to win a stop, at 15 and 10/12 yrs old. Wu Chia Ching wasn't able to win a stop on the TW tour after he's won 2 world championship titles and after he turned 18.
He's a video of him kicking his brother's ass 11-1 in the semi-finals. Pin-Yi just came off his win in Indonesia, but couldn't do much in the match. KPC appears to be a great shot maker, making some difficult hard shots look quite routine. His break seems to be quite good too, with a good balance of power and control.

Apparently there's a 3rd kid in the family. But it may take a couple more years before we see him in action. He's only 13.

Nobody knows Joseph (JoJo) Cole, even after a second place finish in the APA U.S. Amateurs? He has won Viking Tour Stops in AtL and placed high in the BCA Nationals the only time he travelled to play in it. My money is on this kid.
I am not sure how old Paul Song is, but if he is under thirty, I like his game too.
Just sayin,...
