JAM said:LOL. Ask the players at the action table at the Super Billiards Expo in Valley Forge about who they deem as a proficient bar-box mechanic. Last year, the first night of the event, Keith McCready held the table for a spell until the wee hours of the morning. Nobody else would challenge the table, and the action ended, a first in my experience of going to the SBE. Later on in the week, he ran two 11's and one 10 on the 3-1/2-by-7 Diamond table.
As well, the Pro/Am tournament, played on bar tables, Shannon Daulton rose to the top. Can't leave out Shannon Daulton when it comes to veteran bar table players. Though he's a young'n in my book, he comes to the table with a whole lot of experience and expertise. I was totally impressed with Shannon's game on the bar box.
My counterpart, a veteran player with the big rock, tells me he thinks Jesse Bowman is the best in the land on the bar table today.
There are quite a few unsung heroes on the bar table, some relatively unknown unless you hail from their neck of the woods. Here's a shot of the action table at last year's Super Billiards Expo. Gold star goes to who can name the player in the gray shirt to the left of the table. Rumor has it that he left Valley Forge with full pockets. Standing room only and total pool bliss for all those in attendance.
Now here's a question for you. When is the last time you've seen a bar table with a big rock? I ain't seen one in YEARS.
