So for years I have heard many rumblings (mostly from clowns) that Jennifer can't play. Or she doesn't have the stroke...

All I have ever seen is her playing better players (against the odds) and competing.

Jennifer appears to pull back, pause and then uncork a straight follow thru. She has control and plays within herself.

So am I missing something?

Example

 
I did see her play a match at turning stone I believe several years ago and she looked like a weak amateur at best and maybe lots of others seen the same and that's where there info comes from but I've seen many many other matches of hers and she isn't weak thats for certain

I like her calm, measured pace. She applied lots of pressure by making her opponent sit in the electric chair.
 
I've watched Jennifer play in a few matches and she plays well with a good stroke as far as I'm concerned .
Those who may say different are probably the ones who have issues with their game and cuss someone else to divert attention away from their short comings ha ha
Besides that she isn't very hard on one's eye's .

I saw her on the TV table at DCC in 2020 and she played great. I had the chance to talk to her a couple of times, she has a very pleasant personality and seemed happy to talk. I am a fan.
 
Her content on social media (Facebook, TikTok) is really good and is a great way to reach new players. I think she is the only pool player on TikTok, so if you were 15 years old and looking to learn more about pool her videos would be the first thing you find.

I didn't bother to check, but I think her Fargo is 680ish?
 
I took a lesson of sorts from her about 15 years ago. She suggested a nice shot when I was hooked and it worked. I think Stu was there at the time, imsmc. Peoria. If she plays there, she plays everywhere.

She was damn good then, not sure about now without as many tournaments to watch anymore.

I should clarify that what I meant when I said I've watched her play pool it was on YouTube .

Jennifer is a good representative for folks to get interested in playing pool even if it just to get them involved in a local pool league growth is a good thing even if it's a little slow in taking off at first .

"measured pace" <- Well that is one way to describe it. :censored:

She is on the same shot clock as her opponent. She is smart to use all the time she needs.
