Gorst vs Compton 1P

It is and I agree.
For some reason the top American 1-pocket players are having a difficult time realizing that fargo 830-ish pool players are better than them in ANY game.
This isn't the 1960s. The top pro guys are head and shoulders better than the "road players".

Everybody wants to see Action, but not everbody wants to get in the water with sharks. I give Tony, Chip, Josh Roberts and any of the top One Pocket players credit for being true Action Players, if not for them then who? We'd all be watching cornhole, adult kick ball, darts, flag football and tag.

If the money is there then the real players and the guys with heart have to play or we're all f_ _k'ed.

Alex? Dennis? I wouldn't bet against either of them.

Alex plays T Rex soon for the cash. I say the winner gets a crack at Fedor.

dennis is unlikely, he can't enter the US and fedor can't leave the US. it would be a slow match but i would probably watch it. alex or tony is the next logical step and i hope it happens
 
Who does this forum think would be a favorite in a Fedor Dennis match? Right now I’d give the edge to Dennis but in like 5 years it flips

Largely right but be careful about generalizing. For example, Evan Lunda (751) has consistently had his way with Josh Filler (837) at bank pool. On the other hand, at Derby City this year, Gorst, Shaw and Chohan were the top three at banks, and they all played it pretty wide open. In this year's Derby City one pocket, Gorst easily beat experienced, moves oriented, Darren Appleton in the semis and experienced, moves-oriented Josh Roberts in the final. The one-pocket defensive play that stifled the best players for decades suddenly seems insufficient against the most elite ball pocketers of this era.

I agree. The elite players of today "get out" more often in one-pocket if their opponent makes a mistake. These elite players' shooting and cue ball control is just so good. 8 and out is a more common theme.
