[skogstokig]

Dennis Orcullo
Skylar Woodward
Neils Feijen
Mario He
Jonathan Pinegar
Lee Van Corteza
Naoyuki Oi
David Alcaide
Ralf Souquet
Ruslan Chinakhov

currently i would say

alcaide
oi
feijen
he
lee van

the others are a fair bit behind and there's too little info on dennis these days. i think he plays heyball

 

[garczar]

why? you writin' a book? prime orcullo is the best imo.

 

[Black-Balled]

why? you writin' a book? prime orcullo is the best imo.

Tourney play, alcaide and feijen give it right back to him...imo.

certainly now. alcaide has reached his highest level late in his career, and he doesn't look to be dropping off. feijen is keeping up well too

dennis played the philippines open and some other event last year, and made no dent

I thought the question was "best at their respective primes?".

 

[skogstokig]

dunno. that would certainly be in line with the anachronistic obsessions of this forum

For those who like numbers...

830 Naoyuki Oi
827 Dennis Orcullo
822 Neils Feijen
820 David Alcaide
819 Lee Van Corteza
814 Mario He
810 Skylar Woodward
802 Ruslan Chinakhov
796 Ralf Souquet
778 Jonathan Pinegar

Nothing was said in the OP about lifetime best.

I think Oi/Pinegar is not a toss up.

I would adjust a few of those positions due to recent developments, but not by much.

Yeah I had Dennis but only 3 points back.
My sweat bet stays with him if they match up.

I can't pick any pair of them and think that it would be any more than a 55% chance of the stronger/predicted player winning, if we are talking about them in their prime.

Paired up today, Ralf, for example, might have less than a 45% chance in a longer race against the stronger players, but age gets us all.

According to FargoRate, he has a 30% chance against Oi in a race to 10.

 

[banged up]

If we’re talking currently, Dennis has fallen a long way… over a year and a half ago, AJ Manas crushed him in a big-money set. Dennis just isnt what he used to be. Father time is undefeated.

 

[Island Drive]

OP.... depends of the year. When at their best my pick.... Orcullo.
