player in the sport. |

Swain is the first player to win (6) #1 year end titles. He won his first pro
stop at the age of 18 and was unseeded. Cliff is known for his blistering drive
and aggressive gamestyle. He dominated the game after Mr. Hogan and still competes
on the mens pro tour now. |

| Dave
Peck is most well known for also finishing the year in 1982 as the #1 player in
the world. That same year Dave also won the Ektelon and Catalina National titles.
He was once one of the most feared players for his aggressive gamestyle. |

the mens pro tour. He still competes and is also a national doubles champion. |

for over 20 years, but "Rubes" still competes on the mens pro tour today.

his age group. |
