I grew up watching the old legends (not Lassiter old, but Earl, Buddy, Sigel, Varner, Hopkins old). When I watch their videos now, it's pretty obvious how superior today's top guys are. While they certainly played well enough to take a set of someone like Filler, in a long race, they would stand absolutely no chance.

The old matches are a hell of a lot more entertaining to watch, though.

That's the same with starting a fire

You talk like humans woke up one day able to do those things thousands of years ago. Even simple tools took a very long time to develop.

If our modern technology were taken away tomorrow we would develope and use simple technologies and tools MUCH faster than originally by those thousands of years ago. In fact, most of it still exists anyway.

Their technical abilities accumulated over time just like ours. We are currently developing much faster than ancient humans did or even could.

Technology is developing faster than ever.

Yeah...but I still can't program a VCR....

Seriously though it's the life support and only because humans is the resource.

i completely agree with you

and to the people who say pool used to be more entertaining to watch, and they prefer the old days over the current (you’ve heard the insults, ‘boring’ ‘robots’ ‘identical’) top pros-

those guys you mentioned often missed shots they shouldn’t miss BECAUSE they played it “entertainingly”

i’ve watched accustats videos of mike lebron and his ‘amazing’ break that hurt my whole body so bad that my stomach hurt

to each their own i am a student of the game and i learn alot more watching any of those guys with unpronounceable and unspellable names from poland because not even mccready can teach you how to mccready

... not even mccready can teach you how to mccready

That's simple -- learn to play for a hundred a game while you are still in middle school. Put the ball in the hole or starve. You will find a way.
