Also impressive that Rita had over 90% break success with those handracks.

yes, of course, but handracked 9-ball is much easier than handracked 10-ball. i wonder if shi tanqi broke dry even once

Jeanette, Gerda and Vivan probably had something like ten WPBA titles each, as well. Your comment is probably only valid from 2000-2003, when Allison and Karen slammed the door shut on the competition. Those were great years in women's pool.

I'd like to see a record of those 30+ wins. I seriously doubt it.

OK I looked it up. Actually, Gerda has nine WPBA titles, but she also won a World 9ball title in 1995. I was way off on Vivian, who had just five WPBA titles. Jeanette had fifteen WPBA titles and a World Games gold medal. FYI, Jeanette and Gerda were probably both ranked in the WPBA top five for close to a decade. Vivian's best came before Allison arrived on the scene, but she held the number one ranking for a while, as did Jeanette.

The three of them combined for 29 WPBA titles, a World 9ball title and a World 9ball championship.

Thanks for clarifying this. As I'm sure you know most of Jeannette's titles were prior to Allison and Karen joining the tour. After Allison beat Jeannete in the Finals at the Bicycle Club everything changed. She and then Karen were the ones to beat for the next 10-15 years. They weren't really seriously challenged for supremacy on the women's tour. They must have faced each other in a dozen or more Finals.

Kelly was the successor to the Allison/Karen era.
