one half of me wants to preserve his deluded view, the other half wants to pop that balloon
Flip a coin
If you believe that, you are misinformed. In fact, Shane hasn't won any of the China Open, the All Japan, the UK Open, the European Open, the WPA World 10ball, the Mosconi MVP or the World Games gold medal. In these pursuits alone, Filler already has prevailed six times. Shane, at 41, has two world championships on his resume, same as Gorst and Filler, who are both in their mid-20s.

Thanks. I figured if anyone would know whether they had ever played, it would be you. I hope we will see them on the nine-footer somewhere down the road.
SVB works harder than anyone I’ve ever known in pro pool, and I know lots of the top guys well. Outside of pool as well, just as friends, not just pool friends.
I’ve never seen anyone work as hard as SVB on his game. He’s earned everything he’s won and it wasn’t an easy road for him.
Earl I don’t know, only met a few times and spoke to on the phone. I do know Earl works super hard on his game as well.
JA and Sigel of course worked on their game, but not near as disciplined as SVB in terms of practice ethic. Not tourneys or travel-all the top players work hard. But JA and Mike are just super talented, SVB is a hard worker & some talent ofc , but not the raw talent of Earl, JA or Mike.
I can’t speak of Buddy or Nick, as I wasn’t around them when they were on top.
Filler is beyond talented, Gorst it’s my guess hard work and talent. I said 4 years ago everyone else going forward is playing for 3rd. Yes SVB is in the mix now and will be for a few more years as he takes care of himself. But time beats everyone eventually.
Who’s best? Idk , I’d guess Filler, Earl, JA, Sigel, Fedor had/have the most talent in no particular order. Maybe Nick & Buddy but I wasn’t there. There are other players as well. Always hard to say with certainty.
What is certain is who doesn’t have talent…..

Safe bet it would be 10ball. Shane knows better than to try Josh at 9ball. I know who would win if SVB played Josh at 10ball. The fans!

I don't think I've ever watched a race to more than 25 from beginning to end, but I might have to make an exception if this match comes off.Yes that’s correct 10B, imo SVB has a very good chance to win. He’s not drawing dead in that game.
Would be an amazing 3 day sweat.
Knowing what I know, it’s more likely than unlikely to happen. Not 100% but it’s not off the table as a “event” this year.

I would like to see a Master of the Table type of race between SVB, Gorst and Filler where they play each other in a Round Robin format.
Say 30 racks of 9 ball for 1 point per rack; 30 racks of 10 ball for 1 point per rack; 30 racks of 8 ball for 1 point per rack and 10 racks of one-pocket for 3 points per rack.
This way each player plays 200 racks for a possible maximum of 240 points, if my thinking is correct.
This could be a huge PPV event. I think l would bet on Gorst for this type of event.
