Same players not as fun?

u12armresl · Jul 6, 2018

Are you at a point where you are tired of seeing the same 4 names (with very little change) dominate every one pocket tournament?

If you are, is there a solution?

If not, what do you enjoy?

Thanks.

If your one-pocket hero is someone else, then you might get tired of seeing these guys every week. On the other hand, if you love to watch the very best one-pocket, this is where it is.

When Harvard plays football against Yale, it can be a good match . . . . you see what I'm saying?

So what are we going to do about Alabama, New England, Tiger Woods, LeBron, the Williams sisters and Real Madrid?

Tiger will never win again. There’s only one sister left that has any chance. LeBron has a chance. Who’s Real Madrid:lol Don’t get me started on football

I’ll watch Tony all the time. I can’t hardly watch Dennis with all his up and down ten times before he shoots

c'mon man..... real madrid is the most successful sports franchise on the planet, playing the world's most popular game. estimated to be worth over $3.5B USD....

also have a guy named Ronaldo……most popular athlete to ever live (imagine michael jordan, walter payton, and wayne gretzky all wrapped up in one).

i've thought about this some - not necessarily from being bored/tired watching the same guys dominate the game, but more so how long they can/are willing to do it. imo, seems to turn over once or twice a decade....icbw

I believe you are referring to Alex, Dennis, Tony and Shane but the winnings for 2018 don't show these 4 as the money leaders.

After this event the top 6 are Hall, Pagulayan, Chohan, Bustamante, Orcullo, and Van Boening. The top 3 are very close so depending on the payouts in the West Coast Swing the order could be different (all somewhere around $23,000). Bustamante is 4th at $18,800, Orcuollo is 5th at around $15,000 and Shane a distant 6th at around $8500.

i am not tired of watching mastery
regardless of who performs it
rafael nadal/roger federer/serena williams in tennis
or the above mentioned 1p players
some i like watching more than others
i root for federer against nadal
dennis and alex sometimes drive me crazy with their getting up and down to shoot
but i marvel at the skill and dont get tired of watching

I agree about Ronnie O'Sullivan! Our generation has been blessed with Efren Reyes, and for snooker players/fans, it's Ronnie O'Sullivan right now. Besides being an incredible player, he wastes no time at all shooting, which contributes to making him fun to watch.

One of the videos I watched a few weeks ago was when he was just 14 years old, in one of his first TV appearances. His form and rhythm then was almost exactly the same as it is now -- that blows me away!!!
