Imo, that means they would play as well as necessary to get to the top, irrespective of era.

It is a general statement- whatever (level of skill) it takes to win against whomever I gotta play- not a statement about the measurement of a specific player' proficiency.

The best pros of today are better than the best pros of yesterday were. In all sports.

I agree but a top player would have been great regardless of eras. You can only play with equipment/competition at hand.

Put the current top 10 on shag cloth with a light cue ball and see how their game looks then.
They'll still be world class, but they will have the cue ball get away from them on draw shots more often. They'll miss more balls on force follow shots because they have to crush the ball to get decent follow. And they'll miss more balls because the object ball throws more on English shots.
Pool has gotten easier with simonis cloth and measle cue balls.

They would figure it out. Quick. Measel cueball has nothing to do with pool being easier.

Dave lives in Jacksonville area. Plays real good. I wouldn't call him a hustler though. Nice guy, will gamble. Honest and reliable.

Measel cue ball has definitely made pool easier for me. With measel, I almost never have cue ball get away from me. That definitely was not the case with red circle cue ball (I'm glad those are mostly gone). I'm sure I'm not the only person that feels that way.
