He would pick them out softly which is how most of the old time players played straight pool. Unlike someone like Thorsten Hohlman who smashes open the rack when he plays his breakout ball. Just different styles i guess you could say. Obviously he couldnt do this everytime but myself and Voodoo...

Dont know if this is who you are thinking of but Johnny Ervolino used to run the 100 balls without cueball hitting a rail. About 14 years ago Johnny stayed with me for 2 months, he really improved my one pocket game. Voodoo Daddy will alo verify watching him run the 100 without cueball hitting...

CJ, I was wondering how you think you would have done against Shane with you in your prime and Shanes game now? 9 ball and 10 ball. This is a tough one to answer but give me who wins and why Thanks in avance

Closest cueball I have ever seen consistently is Toby Sweet. He would get 18 inches from every ball. I started playing in 1991 which was after Toby's prime, but I got to watch Toby play for 10 years and nobody I have seen play including Buddy Hall and Efren has/had a closer cueball. If you...

Toby Sweet and Buddy Hall. Quick story about Buddy Hall and playing shape. About 12 years ago there was a Florida tour event by us and some of the league players from the poolhall were going to watch. I told them forget everyone else, just watch buddy hall play because hes the best. Well Buddy...

Who, where and for how much?

NFL, NBA, MLB, NASCAR, PGA, HOCKEY Pool in this country is trying to compete with these ESTABLISHED money making sports for sponsors. Other countries that have a huge pool fan base don’t have to compete with this many major sports for sponsorship money. Pool in this country has never gotten...

I truly believe Danny and Billy are the best. They were both GREAT players. What makes them great together is Danny brings a more offensive point of view and Billy brings more of a defensive and play the percentages point of view. The other reason is because they are 2 people especially...

The two best commentators are Billy I. and Danny D. They get along, their knowledge far surpasses any of the other commentators, they are funny and feed well off one another and they aren't biased. Even when they have a sweat bet for a match they are commentating they keep it on track and...

LOL thats exactly what i was thinking about when I said it. LMFAO Thats hilarious. Nice catch

The reason i said a 15 ball all around because then you will find out who plays the table (pool) the best. Al 9 ball and 10 ball is at the top level is a breaking contest

Ronnie has NO SHOT in one pocket or straight pool or banks with Efren. Rotation and 8 ball are close

Obviously you didnt read the title of this post.... 15 ball all around 9 ball and 10 ball are not involved...

Guess what? in this format SHANE IS THE UNDERDOG even at Efrens age. As a matter of fact Efrens age is what makes this even an argument. If Efren from 15 to 25 years ago were to play Shane this format it wouldnt be close!! If they play THIS FORMAT anyone that thinks Shane will win can get...

You are 100% correct. anyone who tries to stick up for or justify John's actions are clueless..... Heres a newsflash for everyone... When you are a big time established billion dollar sport in this country and your players are making millions the players can act like fools and spectators will...

I wanted to see how much interest we could generate for this matchup. Efren vs. Shane in a 15 ball all around in the following disciplines.. 15 ball rotation, one pocket, 8 ball, full rack banks, straight pool. I think these games would show who plays the table the best. Because of his age and...

Efren WAS dead tired when they played. He was about 55 at the time and had already played 12 hours of pool that day before the match. He is 58 now. Do you think Shane can beat Efren right now in a 15 ball all around? rotation, 8 ball, one pocket, full rack banks, and straight pool. If you do you...

When did they play for $ 50,000 I know they played a race to 23 (i think that was the number) in 2009 Derby City but im not sure the bet. I know Efren had been playing tournament matches since 10am all the way up till 11 pm. Efren didnt want to play Shane that night because Efren was worn...

All the players mentioned are great players but to use my buddies phrase. Those guys would rather try to put lipstick on a rattlesnake than F*** with Efren playing him even one pocket for $ 50,000

Everyone needs to decide do they want to see who has the most stamina or who is the BEST player. This is just like 9 ball, all 9 ball comes down to who has the best break period. Take Donny Mills for example he is one of the best in the world at rack your own 9 ball, but take his break out of...
