this is a little segment i dedicate to pros who have, or had major talent, but never really came thru somehow. robin dodson. a female who had fantastic shotmaking ability, yet who had no self confidence, she could have been something. cowboy jimmy moore, perhaps the best rythmic slip stroke player ever! to watch him was to watch where oliver ortmann and jim rempe get their cool rythme from, the cowboy inspired the words from the hustler, "look at him move, like a dancer" jimmy moore never won a tournament, but came in second around a hundred times! jon kucharo, here's a milatary looking kid, who debueted on espn a few years back breaking and running like it was going out of style!!!!!!!! and then puff! up in smoke, no one hears from him, he doesn't call, where are you? mark jarvis, back in the days when mike sigel ruled, mark jarvis, was one of these shotmaking masters, like corey dueuel, but better! whatever happened to him? god only knows. niki benish, niki had brains, she always made the right choices, she was great! i was told she recently came back, but i guess her playing went down? she could have been in the top 5 but cuetec through her off, lack of money and disheartned, she quit. niels feiljin, although we hear of him, this cat deserves bigger and more reconition, great fundementals, he rocks, and by the way holds the record for 15 racks of 9-ball! steve davis, although in the u.k. he is a little bigger than king kong, in 9-ball, this poor bloke has not gotton his due! he's as good as all of e'm. if he practiced for one month 7 days a week 8 hours a day, he'd destroy anyone in his path. nick van den berg, a brilliant, little player, who could rule the 9-ball world, yet, not many mention him, why? ching shun yang, held back because of sitting and staying in tawian, if he traveled like souquet, the world of 9-ball would crumble. well, that's my pick of players, who have it, yet, never kept it. good day. p.s. the players who proved to the world they are the greatest that ever lived are three players. willie mosconi, from 1940-1957 mosconi was "the greatest pool player ever" winning more straight pool tournaments than anyone in history, and by bigger margins, to this day, no one can hold a match to his straight pool playing, and by the way, here is something most people do not know about willie, he ran in the 500's often!!! one time in practice before a tournament, he ran 599!!!!!!! charles ursetti his personal mgr. racked the balls!!! next, efren reyes, efren has proven many things, first, he doesn't "back down" when the chips are down, not another sole in history can "finish the job" like efren, he is the greatest closer of all time period! when the heat is on and there are only 4 balls on the table, efren holds the record for never losing at that point! his versatility is ledgendary, mike kang one of the best billiard players in the u.s. told me efren is one of the best straight rail players in the world!!!! think about that! his one pocket, 8-ball and rotation are the best. from 1984-2003 efren has held the world in his hands, although i see him slipping very fast, the last twenty years proves he was the best. and finally, allison fisher, from 1983-2003 allison fisher dominated cuesports like no other female! winning more tournaments than any human being, earl strickland was quoted as saying "allison can beat me and beat me bad" for the pearl to make that statement, that's huge! allison is a champion in snooker straight pool and 9-ball. when she was at her best 1998-1999 there wasn't a soul, male or female who could beat her. so there i solute those 3 pocket billiard players for being the champions of all time, willie,efren and allison proved they were #1, here's to them and the future of #1's.
A future World Champion IMO.
Well thanks, Stephen B
