An average pool player in a professional tournament | The Road To The US Open

I would like to start off by saying that I like Hunter Lombardo. I think he is a really solid player. He said that he is ranked 5th or 6th in the US, but is that true? I think not.

I wondered about that claim as well but I just looked at the current WPA rankings and sorted them by country and he is indeed #5 among US players. He is #47 overall.

Some of the best instructors were never the greatest players. Instructors that are great at their trade are unique individuals, like any profession at a high level.

Helping others takes a special talent all it's own. Having spent 37 working years in customer service, one learns wayzzzzzz that are not in a book.

But, rather surprisingly, with 84 USA players ahead of him on the FargoRate list.

Fully agree with you.
