If a gun was put to your head to choose one player to pocket a difficult shot for you, who would you choose?

This question has been asked alot, basically if the player makes the ball he'll spare your life, if he misses you're gone.

In this thread you can choose any player from any ERA. The shot is long tough shot.

One thing, just write ONE name, you can't choose multiple, or go "if not this then i'll choose that player instead" JUST ONE NAME, ONE PLAYER.

Also no wall of text explanation, just one name and be done with it, maybe one sentence is fine about the player.

Josh Filler, if he did not know that you was shooting to save a mans life. He is the most exciting player to watch in the game though, in my opinion.

Everybody, try to find a pic of the combination Earl pocketed to win the 10 racks, one million dollar challenge.

If that won't convince you who the straightest shooter under pressure is, nothing will...
 
Willie Mosconi. During the period he dominated, ‘being the best player’ never had the equal in modern times. Though, I WOULD feel safer if it was ‘his’ life & family at stake.

Same as for Mosconi, it was the straight pool aera where pure shoot making was not a players bread and butter...

The equipment was so different too, right? The cue balls were really heavy, right? I imagine doing a draw shot, or using any kind of English on the cue ball was probably impossible on the equipment from that Era.

I guess that they were just really great at cue ball control, and reading the rack, and really great at knowing exactly how the balls would break out. And, they played perfect on that really slow cloth, with a really heavy cue ball.

Way off topic, but I would like to see the top players of today attempt to play on those conditions.

Judd Trump, lol. Greatest player on the planet. If you have never seen him play, then just go on youtube and watch some of his amazing play. On a 12 foot Snooker table, lol.
