Fedor Vs Tony 1 pkt

Kaci beat Filler in the 10 Ball event to claim World Championship this year. Kaci beat Filler in another event 10-1 they didn’t say 9 or 10 ball, and has beaten Filler 7 out of 10 times according to the interview I saw. I think Filler is great player but I question his dominance, Kaci, FSR, can play him in rotation games. If SVB break is working he’s not underdog I don’t think. This just my opinion.
To me this sounds like just plain oul good woofin'....
Count me in!
Well said, Steve.I am, thank you.
The people that play “fringe games” play everything well. Don’t be fooled.
Champions are champions for a reason.
Hope to see you somewhere sometime, if I can dig out my two headed quarter I’ll flip you for dinner then.
Good marketing. Chumming the waters. The PPV and gate would be HUGE.
Do we think Alex has reached Efren ability in one pocket? Or since Efren has gotten older, Alex is the last man standing (but did not close the gap to Efren’s best). The reason I ask is Efren manhandled Alex many times at the DCC. One year when he won the whole thing he beat Alex 3-1 and 3-0 I believe.
I feel that in the 80’s and 90’s when Efren was younger, the top 9 ball players were also regularly playing one pocket. So the one pocket competition had the best ball strikers, in general.
Today, the best ball strikers only play one pocket once a year at DCC.

here is a list of the winners of prominent onepocket tournaments
if you look thru the winners and runner ups from 1980-2000
most names are not names you would think od as 9 ball champions
of course there are exceptions

Fedor doesn't seem like he does much of that. He sounded dead serious.
I said, probably a year ago, I thought Fedor is the best in the world now. Glad some others are coming on board with me. That is crazy to think when we have the likes of Filler, Shaw and FSR...potentially at the tops of their games. Crazy good competition at the top, that is for sure. One for JAM...USA, USA, USA! We need all the help we can get.
OK...............
To not have Shane on the list and maybe even #1 is questionable, IMHO.
On a nine-footer, Shane's not a favorite against Fedor in any game, so I don't see how you can even consider him for #1. Ignoring his injury, I'd definitely take Kaci over Shane right now in both 10-ball and 9-ball, and the longer the race, the more I like Kaci.
He's definitely in the conversation. Personally, I like Fedor Gorst, Tony Chohan, Josh Filler, Alex Pagulayan and Dennis Orcullo as the top five at one pocket right now. My second five would be Efren, SVB, Billy Thorpe, Josh Roberts and Jon Pinegar.
... but it's all a matter of opinion, and you are entitled to yours.
Ronnie Allen, Cliff Joyner, Grady Mathews, Efren Reyes, all great one-pocket phenoms who were in different eras. The Ronnie Allen of 1965 could beat anybody on the face of the planet in 2023 in one-pocket. The Ronnie Allen of 2005, not so much.
Each pool player has streaks of greatness, some longer than others. In one-pocket, there are quite a few super stars, but none greater than Ronnie, Cliff, Grady, and Efren in their primes.
