Pat,

Have you read through my “Gender in Pool … The Battle of the Trans-Sexes” (BD, May, 2025) article?

I think I made a fairly good case that pool is a gender-affected sport. The judge in the legal case agreed with me.

Regards,
Dave

I did just now.

Aside from numbers of serious players, your strongest argument seems to be fast-twitch strength - I suppose that's legit, but, although I agree that pool can be "gender affected", I'm not convinced it's a defining difference (not insurmountable for serious female players).

A great, thoughtful article as usual, Dave - thanks for the link.

It didn't have a Predator shaft when I saw the cue, and that would have been about 2000, give or take one or two. Bear in mind, at that period of time, guys hadn't largely gone to Predator shafts just yet, but that was to change shortly.

A bit of memory, the very first well-known tournament player I saw with a Predator shaft was Mike Davis, probably a little after that, playing in a tournament in Rockville, Maryland. That was the first-generation Predator shaft, which had a longer ferrule that later generations, but I could tell it was just a bit shorter than the standard one inch, so it did look different. The rest of course, is history, as a lot of guys went with Predator soon.

Doc, when I pass away, you may want to section my brain to see what kind of cue memories can be extracted. :cool:
