I had the privilege of watching Scott Frost play Bernie Pettipiece {who I also think plays a great game of 1 Pocket } before I had to leave Az.
I have watched Efren play many many times and Cliff even more.
To me Scott uses the best of both their games and adds some of his own
shot making ability to the mix.
I saw him spin backcut several balls in one game and he makes the little nip stroke shots perfectly like I remember George Rood doing {shot is off angle a bit and he uses a ultra short bridge and object ball goes 5 feet and cue ball goes half an inch.}
Of course he played some shots that I didn't see or expect but mostly he just makes the same shots all 1 Pocket players make ....the difference is he hits them all so precisely it's bewildering.
I am sure that even he would agree that he has a couple of flaws in his game.
I believe there is a reason that Efren spends more time looking at the table than a lot of players and that is because of his chess training.
In chess there are "Candidate " moves.
The player usually sees a good move and then his training tells him to look for a few more and then choose the best one {sometimes you find mate!}
I think Scott has not reached his potential at 1 Pocket yet perhaps due to that "fast shooting" at times.
I wish him all the best and look forward to watching him play in the future.
