I'm a little unclear on who the top players are at this game. I'd like to get some good accu-stats of 8-ball to pickup a few things.

Well who comes to mind? I'd imagine efren, dave matlock and possibly varner, but who else.
 
Believe it or not Troy Frank plays the best patterns he is a little under the top players with shotmaking but everytime he plays in 8ball events he always is one of the favorites. Thorsten is the best in the world (besides Effie) IMO he is the full package

Marlon Manalo is also the "full package" when it comes to 8-ball, probably even slightly better overall than Efren taking into consideration Manalo's powerful break. From what I've seen on the IPT, Manalo plays textbook 8-ball.

Obviously you gotta throw Souquet, Alcano, and also Orcullo in the mix.
 
Souquet has to be near the top of the list, if not at the very top. In addition to his recent World 8-ball Title, he placed *consistently* at the top of the IPT Tournaments. He's a monster.
 
I would say Souquet and Manalo after Efren...

I still don't know how Manalo didn't win that first IPT.

He was killing people in the preliminary rounds.
 
About Ralf Souquet

For the History, Souquet is 10 times 8-ball European Champion.
He break and ran out 27 racks of 8-ball at practice (Source : www.souquet.de)

Here is the link to the bracket of the last 32 of the 2008 World 8-ball Championship.
 
Efren Reyes took home the cash in the two biggest 8 ball payouts. Not once but twice.

Case closed.
 
BAR TABLE- Jesse Bowman/Jason Kirkwood/SVB/Orcullo/Nevel/Matlock/J.Waldon/ Keith Mcready in his prime was the best in the world past present and future period.:)

If I'm not mistaken, these were the highest payouts in cue sports behind some of the big snooker tourneys. How are 3C payouts?

I second that! My money is on Efren over any other pro in an 8 ball tournament to win it all.

Great 8 ball players

Didnt Glen Atwell win the bar box championships in Reno back in 2003?
Hes another one that I think is a great 8 ball player on the bar boxes.
