Seems we have an influx of very young players trying to break their way into the top echelons of pro pool.
Moritz Neuhausen, 21, already made the leap and Kledio Kaci, 19, has joined him.
AJ Manas, 18, got all the buzz a year ago, and still gets the buzz. Countryman Bernie Regalario, 20, has stepped up.
Felix Vogel, 17, is crashing the party this year.
Yannick Pongers, 20, has really caught my eye. Bit of a young hothead, but gobs of talent.
And now Albert Januarta, 17, fresh off of winning the WPC Junior title, is having a good go in the Florida Open. Won is first two matches, including a 9-5 win over Mieszko Fortunski, and now he is up 5-1 vs. Aleksa Pecelj.
