I agree with you Jeff is a hell of a player and probably top 5 in the state on a bar box, he defenitly is not number 1. That goes to Jesse Bowman followed by Mcgrath then i would say Jeff or Ike:thumbup:

I like Piazza over Mark Haddad.

Agreed. I think Tony Piazza, Scott Tollefson, and Robert Rodriguez are all better than Haddad. No disrepect to Mark, just my opinion

Mike Zimmerman is from Washington? Bobby Zack is from Oregon and arguably our best

zimmerman was from Seattle?

Mike was originally from the Bay area, then moved to WA to Platisville. We recently moved to Medford and even though I am biased, I would have to put Mike over Bob Zack, as Mike has beaten a lot of the players that are on the list from other states, and finished in the top 100 in the IPT.

I would also state that I think Eddie Mataya has overtaken Eddie Carrido in skill and his power break is unbelievable.
 
Just a little heads up, don't know if anyone else has mentioned it but Jerry Slivka is living in PA again.

I don't know for how long but he has been here for the past 4 months plus. He is working (painting I think) and is playing golf. Some pool but not much.
 
Arizona

We've got a huge number of monsters here, but the top 2 have got to be Scott and Mitch. No offense to the others.....

Wheres J.D.!!!!!

J.D. Doherty should be on the list for Washington State. He plays fantastic!!!!!! His speed is in the same ballpark of the other players you have listed.
 
georgia- johnny archer,kim davenport, louis ulrich, steve moore, pual turner, cliff joyner,clint mcclough, hoarce harper, alice rim, monica webb, helen thornfelt, wade crane,mitch yarbough, hoarce goodman a.k.a ground hog, jeese middle brooks

Probably put Ike the way he is playing 8-ball right now Jeff then Bowman:thumbup:

Bowmans got number 1 in 9-ball:smile:
 
I hate to say it, but you have to add Donnie Mills to the FL list. Possible Justin Hall after this year.

Until Jesse takes up needlepoint or has a head transplant, he is Numero Uno at anything on the bar table IMHO.
