Question

Who is the best pool/billiards player/nationality? any rankings?

Answer 1

Right now the hottest player in the world is the American Shane Van Boening. He has been dominating his opponents as of late and is the current US Open champion. He is also the reigning world 10 ball champion.

The world pool championships (9 ball) are currently being played in Manila. If he happens to take this one as well, he will be undoubtably heralded as the best pool player on the planet.

Other peoples opinions may vary, however, anyone who comes up with a top 10 list that does not include Shane Van Boening is way off track.

I don't know that that's an accurate ranking of best to worst though, especially with the women players included.
