Would love to hear everyones opinion on this since there were so many greats of the game!
Great thread on the best 9-ball player. How about one pocket?

Today knowing what we know about efren eyes and age. How could anyone not say that Scott Frost is the best 1pkt player ?
And i am talking strictly about today, not last year, not 5 years ago.

Oh, so Scott Frost will play Efren even up today when he needed all kinds of weight less than two years ago?
Umm , yes Scott will play Efren even all day and all night.

> I never got to see Ronnie Allen in his prime,Jersey Red,Eddie Taylor,or much of Bugs. So without having seen them,I have to say Efren is the best one pocket player I've seen with any regularity.
People are going to say this is nuts,but go back 10 and maybe 15 years,and Grady would be a valid argument,because of how he moved.
As far as right now today,I wouldn't feel like I was getting robbed to bet on Scott. Tommy D.

Lets assume were talking about the last 20 years.
Efren....No brainer
Shannon Daulton....argue all you want, For about 15 years he was the best. Shannon shot the best offensive/defensive shots "meaning" he would shoot at his hole, leave nothing for his opponent. Banks, Jacked up shots. Awsome. of all the greats IMO, Shannon was the only one at there best I think Efren couldn't/shouldn't spot.
Nick Varner.......The Wedge.
Cliff Joyner......action anyone
Grady Mathews
Allen hopkins/Billy Incardona/Ronnie Allen/Steve Cook/JoseParica
New Bread taking over......Scott, Gabe, Tony, hate to watch him play but the lion can play too.
Some will say Corey Duel, I'm still not sure.

the best
Ronnie Allen may have been the best, but I never got to see him play in his prime. I did see Efren play in person though and he is truely "the magician" playing one hole. His game may be dropping, but I'm not sure Scott is better yet if they played a long set.(one race to 8 is not that long)
If it was just who moves best, I might say Scott Frost. He has so many stack moves that are really agressive. Scott will miss a ball you don't expect him to miss sometimes though.

What happened to Efren's eyes?
Either Ronnie Allen or Efren Reyes, too close to call really. IMO no one else is even in the picture. People can talk all they want about Frost but I still think Reyes is the best today. I really have always liked Varner's one pocket game, definitely top 5.
Haven't you heard he had them surgically removed!
can Cliff Joyner get no love? LOL I def agree with Efren I don't know how anyone could play better than him. I have 4 different DVD's where Efren beats other top5 type type competition Bustamante(twice) Alex Parica and their combined ball count in these 4 matches Efren 96 Triad 2. How can you argue that?
Okay let's set the record straight . A lot of players have played good enough 1-hole to be regarded as the best for a short period of time -a week- a month - a year . Ronnie was the best for many years when hardly anybody played 1-pocket .Varner , hopkins , ervolino and a few more guys were all playing as good as grady . For when the game became more popular only one player dominated the world of 1-pocket for 20 years . EFREN REYES !!!
