Cool topic!

I have trouble declaring someones style 'the best' but I certainly know what players make my feet tingle.

Jim Penske lights shit up with his aggressive slashing whipping dexes.
Vasek shows us what is possible and always does so with crisp style.
A whole slew of smooth guys like Johnny, Lon, Luis give a whole different perspective.
I think Jorden is always worth mentioning because I love that he has blasted open the realm of possibilities for different tricks and bag manipulation.

I think Phil Morrison has the best style currently in footbag though.

I tried to list people who I think do the best job at defining a pleasing and personal style. This is a part of what makes footbag so great. Lots of strong open level players can be regarded as number one in the world at their own game.

Nobody in the world is better at Lon Smith footbag than Lon Smith, for example. I think the same goes for everyone I listed.

i actually like his style a few years ago beter as well. i dunno, its sort of like its robotic now or something.... which is in no way or stretch a criticism. but i just loved seeing a little kid hit crazy stuff with an almost awkward style that looked tight.... really hard to explain.
