As the title says, who do you think are the top ten 1 Pocket players out there right now. Obviously SVB, Scott Frost, and Efren would all be up there, but how would you rank the top 10?
 
Deuel
Orcullo
Pagulayan
Jeremy Jones
Daulton

Besides SVB, Frost, Efren that is my list

I would replace one of these with Alex, probably Busty.

Yes, Alex definitely belongs in any top 10 list. Also, Justin Hall deserves mention. The problem is that rating the top 10 or 12 in some order is nearly impossible.

The most entertaining matches are between players who know all the moves, like Efren and Shannon. The guys that play the power run out game like Frost and Shane are fun to watch because they take shots that the older one-pocket players from 20-30 years ago wouldn't dare to shoot.
 
Laughable to see Compton/Gray on this list. They are good players, but definitely not top 10 in ANY game.

They could make the top 20 possibly, but not 10 by any chance.
There's probably a top 10, then it gets real murky and close with a bunch of players I'd say
 
Cliff Joyner

Like him or not, he can spot some of the guys on that list. He can still out play anybody, on any given day, Dual, Daulton, Compton, Gray, Hall, have no chance against him.

I agree. The guy can be hard to like but he makes the one pocket greatest list. I don't think Cliff could give weight to all of them. Some of them for sure and only in one pocket. Cliff is certainly a one pocket legend.

Cliff can't spot no one on the lists above. At one time he could, now he would be life and death to beat anyone named above.

Richie Rich horse#$@! Cliff everytime he plays him...Jeremy Jones, Richie, Justin Hall, Chris Gentile, Josh Roberts, Chip or Joey would all play him. Cliff isn't the same player he used to be.
 
I'm sure you guys are right on, I dont follow any of this to know. I just know I like Chris Gentiles game when I got to see it.

Real one pocket (experience+patience+strategy)
Efren,
Daulton,
Cliff Joyner
Brandon Shuff
Chris Gentile
Ochwa!! (spelling!!!)
(many retired players)

Offensive "luck'm balls and pray to God to get lucky!!" one pocket players:
Alex P
Frost
SVB (i would put SVB on top list maybe at times)
Bustey
Orcollo
Appleton
Compton
Grey
Duel


Not sure where Jose Parica fits!!
 
I would put Gentile in the Top 10 easily.

Of the matches I watched Shuff didn't play good one pocket.

The video I saw on Youtube with Shannon Daulton and Nick Varner, Nick made it look like childs play.

I would also look at who has won at DCC, IMO, that is a good indicator.

Off the top of my head, and in no particular order:

Efren Reyes
Scott Frost
Shane Van Boening
Francisco Bustamante
Dennis Orcollo
John Schmidt
Corey Deuel
Justin Hall
Sylver Ochoa
Shannon Daulton
