Current Top 5 in the World ? 9Ball

Glad to be in such good company, Mike!
I’d like to see a race to 100 with Filler and Shane. I think Filler might take it down.
I'd like to see that race for the cash involving any two of those five players.
I would prefer to make the race length the maximum agreed to length by both players in ONE day. One or two breaks and get back at it.

I'd pay to watch that.
Travel Expenses reimbursed, 10K for the winner, and 1K for the loser; Race to 30, minimum. 10 minute bathroom break when someone wins 10, and another after someone wins 20. That sounds about right.

Are you volunteering to fund it? I would, 'cept I didn't get one stinkin' number on the latest lottery draw.
If someone had an idea how to make it a break even proposition, I'm sure funding could be found. I don't have a good sense of the business side of this, but wondering if people think there'd be enough revenue around such a big ticket event to recoup some of most of the costs of putting it on.
Yup, they payed twice at the Derby, although it was 10-ball rather than 9-ball.
Chang 11 Filler 9
Filler 17 Chang 14
Total Score Filler 26 Chang 25
Just about too close to call in a match of any reasonable length.
I'm a bit surprised I don't see Albin Ouschan on anyone's top 5 list?
Albin is ranked 16th on the Eurotour in 2019 and finished 25th at the US Open. We all know he's a superb player, but his case for top five in the world is pretty weak right now, even though he and Mario prevailed as a team at the World Cup of Pool.
Why? ......
Filler
Chang

Shaw
Think they are a clear top 4 based on general opinion, talent, consistency & fairly recent achievements. Filler & Shaw are instinctive, freakish talents whilst the other 2 are methodical & consistent.
Honourable mention to Wu & Kazakis. Biado placed 1st & 2nd in last two worlds but seems to lack something to be held in the same regard as those others but deserves a mention, much like Albin & Ko.
Kaci may get involved in the next year or two, likewise Gorst.
