I hate being that guy, but actually water isn’t wet.

it’s hard to compare styles from yesterday and today. Players back when Efren was in his prime hardly jumped, however I think Efren was an extremely smart player and would have adapted if he had to use the jump cue more often.

Let me first say Efren has always been my pool hero. However (and just for fun) what accomplishments does Efren have that Shane doesn’t?

I disagree also

It’s definitely close, and the fact that Shane is competitive, and winning in the best era of pool ever makes the argument lean in his favor IMO

Is it unrealistic to say that Shane may be catching Efren for GOAT status?

Congrats to Shane! Speaking of Tyler I don’t understand how he doesn’t win more often, he has almost flawless fundamentals

I can appreciate onepocket, but I wouldn’t call it entertaining at all.

Not making excuses for Justin, but coul his new cue maybe have been a factor in the loss?

I make the comparison because most think 8ball is too easy. Watching pros play nineball is just as easy IMO. Like I said earlier they are making the 1 in the side almost every time, and sometimes they are just playing 7 ball after the break.

It’s no different when the pros play nineball. they make the 1 in the side 95 percent of the time, and if they can see the two they’re pretty much out.

Uncle fester! 😁

Of course. World class players make any pool game look easy. I’m just talking about the random people who dismiss 8ball as a joke, and it requires no skill at all.

I never understood all the barbox hate, and for all of those who say it’s “too easy” how about challenging the winner or loser to 100k? As far as this match I’m rooting for Justin Bergman!

I would argue that defense and kicking would be even more important if the jump cue was banned.
