Hello everyone. A number of years ago I saw a graphic on here, that might have even been a t shirt, that had all the various disciplines of cue sports and the best in that discipline. How about we do the same with today's players? I have a list of cue disciplines and you put the player you feel is the best at it today. There is only 1 rule though, you can't pick the same player for another discipline. If you don't have a name for a specific discipline, then leave it blank. Obviously this list is highly subjective.

This should be fun.

8-ball-
9-ball- Joshua Filler
10-ball- Shane Van Boening
Banks-Fedor Gorst
One Pocket- Tony Chohan
14.1- Jayson Shaw
Artistic Pool- Florian Kohler
3 Cushion-
Snooker- Judd Trump
Blackball-
 
I did my own take on it...I’m really not sure who the best 8 ball players are, but I do know Shane is very good. An alternative list would have Kaci for 10B and Fedor for Banks

8-ball – Shane Van Boening
9-ball – Joshua Filler
10-ball – Fedor Gorst
Bar Table (8/9/10b) – Sky (or Dennis)
Banks – Billy Thorpe
One Pocket – Alex Pagulayan
14.1 – Jayson Shaw?
Snooker – Mark Selby
English 8 ball – Gareth Potts
 
I feel Gorst is the best one-pocket player out there right now. He has won the DCC one pocket in three of the last four years, including the last two.

I also think Lee Van Corteza, on pro spec equipment, is the best 14.1 player in the world. Yes, on buckets, the choice would be Shaw, but since when do pros compete on buckets?
 
I will pick THIS GUY for 8-Ball although most PRO's are e-z outs even on a barbox,
Thing is: Who the BEST when you get hooked?
8-Ball -- Efren Reyes
Chris Melling is right behind him.
9-Ball -- John Morra.
John's a GRINDER!
 
I'm not really up to date on these things but I'll give it a go.

8-ball- SVB
9-ball- Joshua Filler
10-ball- Orcullo
Banks- Chohan
One Pocket- Fedor
14.1- Thorsten
Artistic Pool- Mike Massey
3 Cushion-
Snooker- Steve Davis
Blackball-
Barbox- Bergman

some I just picked my favorite like Massey and Steve Davis
 
8-ball - Too little information / coin toss

9-ball - Joshua Filler

10-ball - Klenti Kaci

Banks - Fedor Gorst

One Pocket - Fedor Gorst

14.1 - Joshua Filler

3 Cushion - Dick Jaspers

Snooker - Judd Trump


going mostly by current "title holders" but kaci gets the nod for having two recent WC wins. there's not a whole lot of information on 14.1 either. i think filler's win in american 14.1 championship some year ago was the most dominating in a tough field. ruslan have better patterns but is barely active, feijen is very good in EC's.

kyren wilson may be the current snooker WC but judd trump is ranked #1 and more dominating. plus the snooker WC is such a different animal from the rest of the tour, it favors marathon players (some of which only play well there).

didn't include heyball because i don't know enough. some year ago it was zheng yubo.

Pay Attention to what I said....
I was coming from the viewpoint of who I thought was the best getting out of jail. Defense vs. Offense. PRO's WIN on defense like 90% of the time.
That said: I seen John give many PRO's fits trying to beat him on defense. Hell, I seen SVB get disgusted and gave the battle away in a 9-ball match. Was game 5 in a race to 9. Guess who won?
Hard to say who would be the best TODAY. GORST, FILLER & KACI all come to mind.
Talk about cueists; thems all SNOOKER players.
12ft by 6ft table(Huge). NO diamond markers for reference. small balls tight pockets and ya get to hit with an 8mm ash cue. have a look...
