No, he isn't even the best today. Probably not even top 3. :rolleyes:

T-Rex reminds me of Alex Higgins...he was never the best snooker player...
...although he had supporters that claimed he was...
...but he drew the most pros as spectators...because they would see shots that were..
...out of the box

T-Rex is Excellent

Thanks for that highlight video; best i've seen in a long time.........
Reminds me of what somebody said about Tiger Woods when he was in his prime...

He does shots nobody even thinks about doing.....and he makes them...

A lot of those shots, cmon they were hit and hope with a built in safety.

If he said, I am going to bank this ball into that ball and then carom off that ball into my pocket, then quite impressive.

Lots of his shots are reckless though.

thanks for the video
tony may be greatest entertaining player to watch but not the greatest player.
not close.
looked what happened in round 2 of dennis /tony
your video is very impressive but when they dont go you have dennis/ tony round 2
onepocket is not a game of swinging for the fences all the time
you will probably strike out alot

Cool video, thanks... You must have watched a sh*itload of one-pocket to make it. I wonder if you could maybe find these "highlight reel shots" using audio-analysis, for example, applause or spikes in the commentary volume.

Tony is definitely not the best one pocket player at the moment, but I think out of everyone not named 'Alex', Tony has the most potential to take that title.

He already knows and can see more shots than pretty much anyone. So it's just a matter of whether or not he gets better at knowing when NOT to be aggressive.

If he does, then he'll be tough to beat.

I watched Gabe beat him in Olathe a few yrs back. Gabe just out-moved and out-waited him. Tony is hyper-aggressive and against tight, patient players he often struggles. He DOES come with some sick shots but those don't always lead to wins.

Thank you! Excellent job! I needed something like this to "properly" introduce one pocket to the world ........

I’d say definitely the greatest...maybe not favored to win against the top players all the time...not the “best” but he does 1 pocket some serious justice and his matches are rarely boring. He either does something crazy and runs out, or sells out and someone else runs out. Very good spectator 1p

Nope, not yet... great shotmaker, wins his share,
but not the GOAT yet.. it’s still Efren.
