That may be true, but it is also safe to say that it has better representation of the best female players than the BCA masters list has of the best amateur players.
A team of Professional Women v Amateur Men - who wins?

They can't compete in Chess either, and that takes ZERO physical ability. Heck, somebody else could if move your piece for you, if you had no arms
Nobody knows why exactly, but Allison Fisher made some pretty good points about it during an interview.
She said men, by nature are more aggressive, and they take shots she would NEVER attempt in a match, but the men fire at them and make them a high percentage of the time.
It still does not make them any less of a person. They do something men could never do, bring life into this crazy world of ours. Men, on the other hand, are very good at snuffing out life. Hunting, murders, self-defense and even war. Heck, even most Morticians are men, not to mention the folks that "pull the switch" during an execution.
Just a fact, don't take it personally guys
My wife could not even kill a spider, let alone shoot an intruder in the middle of the night. It's what makes her special, she doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She can't play pool all that well, but I'd give up playing pool forever if I could be more like her :thumbup:
This. I kinda thought the same thing
I dunno
Which wimmins? If you are talking the top 2%, then it might be a pick em-IMO.
But if you start getting into the top 50, I give it to the mans.
I have played a few myself in smaller tourneys and while I can't say I won em all, i am pretty sure I'd like to play those that beat me every day, and that I'd come out on top at the end.

Same, for me too, obviously.
I can say that one of the 3 name ladies came to our lil of' weekly event and went 2/out without winning a game...and left in a huff.
Too bad, she coulda played for about 5 more hours for free on those tough diamonds too. Practice mighta done her some good!
And I got manhandled by a girl, last tourney I played too...to tell the truth.
From the matches I have seen, the elites like Chen Siming, Ga Young Kim , Han Yu, Kelly Fisher quite regularly TPA 0.9
The standard of women's pool has gone up a lot in past 10 years-
We talking about much higher standard than likes of Ewa Lawrence, Jeanette Lee in their prime twenty years ago. Alison Fisher used to dominate those days but if she was in her prime today she will not be able to dominate as much
If you have not watched matches of top women for long time tendency is to think they are like 2 decades ago but they are much better now. And they play 9 ft
If we use WPA men's ranking as rough guide http://www.wpa-pool.com/web/rankings IMHO, the top women would be ranked 100+ 200+ maybe?
If 1st tier pros are Shane , Ko, Dennis and 2nd tier pros are Corey, Rodney then the top women would be around 4th tier pro
I would second that but also add that it would be about even in 8b and 9b v grandmasters
:grin:
The women would beat most of the players you've described in your post. But the best of the male amateurs would beat the ladypros. But you'd have to be a damn good amateur player to handle Karen.
If we are talking rotation games (9-ball/10-ball), I think there are lots of amateur men who can beat the pro women. For that matter, I'm sure there are many amateur men who can beat some of the Pro men. There also are amateur women who can beat some of the Pro women and men.
I don't know why everyone has to think that a "Pro" is somebody who ALWAYS plays better than an amateur. There are plenty of talented amateurs who, for whatever reason, never became a "Pro".
FWIW, I see and watch Allison Fisher when she comes here a few times a year and I'm sure a couple of our "amateur" men can give her a game without them being the underdog.

I highly disagree with this sentence. We aren't talking about playing one game of 9-ball here.
