Do i dare........aaaahhhh, why not.
Ok, having read this thread, and watched the self proclaimed videos of MA at
http://www.youtube.com/user/MarytheRedAngel
I have come to the conclusion that she plays at a beginner level at best (tomatoes anyone?)
There is not one video that isn't either set up, or edited to exclude all the shots in between the ones she actually makes, where you know she powered the ball into the rail multiple times. Honestly, i don't think she has a video posted where she makes more then 2 balls in a row, let alone, any videos where she is firing a ball in with any type of authority.
Given that she looks like she's scared to hit the ball, her mechanics are that of a novice, AT BEST. Based on her stroke, I'd be willing to say that she is one of the "hope and pray" position players who leave it entirely up to fate as to where the cue ball lands.
I mean, if you are going to be the self proclaimed be all to end all of women's pool, at LEAST, have the decency to post up a couple of videos of yourself making 2 balls in a row or quite possibly, maybe running a rack of balls???, and not shots where we know you tool like 20 takes to do it.
I know a lot of female pool players, and some WPBA pros, and MA is nothing special, and believe me, that girls who actually DO play good pool know this.
Believe me, i know that there are TONS of non pool people in the world that are completely amazed when someone can make one shot. JUST ONE!
Why you ask? Because they are not pool players and for them to actually make one shot is an accomplishment, so if MA has a massive following of these types because she can make ONE ball, and they can't, then it's easy to understand why maybe her ego got a little out of hand.
But to the POOL world. The world where people actually spend hours practicing, and throwing away their education, relationships, job opportunities, and who knows what else in order to do nothing else with their lives but play pool, making one ball sucks.
Making one ball is actually laughable.
Now that is not to say that MA, doesn't have potential (who knows), but if MA wants to be the self proclaimed future phenom of female pool, and wants to actually earn the respect of her peers and everyone else on the forum who thinks her game stinks, she's going to have to do better then one ball at a time in edited videos or 2 balls in a row where it was set up to begin with which then might support all the mindless completely out of line boasting she pumped out regarding her game.
Although i did see a video where she seemed to play one mean air guitar. Bill and Ted would most certainly be proud.
