Favorites

I like Rodney Morris as my favorite pro men's player.

I like Helena for favorite women's pro, if she can just quit
making those 'little' mistakes now and then. She plays
more like the men do, and she breaks the balls good.

It is really hard to ignore Hohmann. Even if he doesn't
win, he is always tough, and places high.

Up and comer would have to be Gabe Owen. You have
not seen the last of Gabe by far (if he can just learn
to beat his best friend and mentor, Jeremy Jones).
Other than Gabe, I think you have to keep your eye
on Jesse Bowen or Shane VB.
 
Tony Robles ... not only a great pool player, but a genuinely sweet person and devoted father to his son.

Allison Fisher ... greatest female player and terribly funny, especially when speaking with a southern accent.
 
Charlie Williams, Ga-young Kim and Nico Ottermann

My favorite male player is Charlie Williams... He is exciting on as well as off the table. He does so much for the sport of pool and uses his popularity for the betterment of the game. I enjoy watching his sledgehammer breaks and win he is on, he is smooth as a baby's bottom. He brings so much energy to the table that I constantly feed off of that because I myself, have too much energy...

My favorite female player is Ga-young Kim. She is also exciting to watch. There is never a snooker that she can't get out of. She plays with such great intensity that it seems like she overwhelms her opponents.

The best up and comer for me would be Nico Ottermann from Germany. He has yet to step foot on American soil but when he does, look out. He is just 18 years of age,tall, good-looking and has a great personality. I expect him to be doing some great things in the near future, so be prepared!

Rodney Morris - Plays fast and when on, runs rack after rack making it look easy.

Vivian Villereal - Very entertaining and plays great pool. Plus I'm a sucker for that long straight hair.

Wow...That's exactly my choices. Great minds think alike I guess

Rodney Morris - Attitude, Left Handed, Plays with a Szamboti

Vivian Villareal - Attitude, Fun to watch, from San Antonio

Shawn Putnam. He also has a section on the forum in the "ask the pros" section.
 
Hohmann -- simply the most solid game I've ever seen.

Allison -- great ambassador, true champion, and mentally unflappable.
 
Efren for the men - Only the most amazing all-around game I have ever seen.

Allison for the women - I love the way she conducts herself so professionally, plays at such a high level, and I've never seen or heard her be anything but gracious when she does not win. She is an example for all - imho.

Sorry. I don't know any of the young lads and lasses. That Pam Treadway seems to have a little game though. :p

I guess you think that left-handed people are the only ones in their "right" mind, huh?!?! lol :D
 
I love all the greats, but the ones that stick out for me are Allison and Karen for the females, because they are so fundamentally sound, rock solid in the their mechanics, specially Allison. She is a great champion, she doesn't let her mistakes bother her, and lets them go right away. She teaches, and what else can i say she is great at what she does. On the male side, Niels Feijen. Nerves of Steel, and another fundamentally sound player. He practices everyday, does everything from drills to the breaks, my hero. Cole 'TheConArtist'

I'm right handed, but play left handed. So I'm only in my right mind, when I'm at the table :D ! Sounds like a good excuse to play pool.

Favorite male: Luc Salvas, he is probably the most entertaining player to watch and very exciting. Off the table he is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet.

favorite female: Jeanete Lee, she's always having fun during a match working the crowd and entertaining everyone.
 
Allison - dominance...
Kid D - Good player, nice guy, actually has a personality that you can not store meat in.
