Jennifer "shot clock" Barretta

[MattPoland]

Since she has a 652 Fargo Rating, so she's just above the rating of the top guy in our county league. So based on that alone, I would say that most guys on this forum would have a tough time beating her.

That’s the thing people miss. She’s a solid A player. At that level you put on a clinic on a 7’ Valley. Capable of running out 3 out of 5 racks or more. But up that to a 9’ pro-cut Diamond and even your solid A players start having issues. They don’t look like they do on bar boxes. You need to be a AA (~700 Fargo) or AAA(~720 Fargo) before that starts looking as impressive on a 9’ as you’re used to seeing on a 7’.

I'm sorry, but that's a bad rule - ...

You're right. No one has found a good rule for the break at nine ball. But the 3-point rule and the nine on the spot may be the best we can do for now.

She plays real fast because she is VERY GOOD, and is a NATURAL TALENT.
Some players don't have that and have to be more methodical to play their best.
However, anyone in any sport plays their best when they allow their subconscious to run the show. The real slow players are doing everything consciously - even after they get down to shoot - and that makes them very slow over the ball.

Truth. You ride wave, you dont drive it.

Not buying it! You can't "see" the shot then miss by a ball. Dennis O does what you describe, this is something else entirely.

I've always liked JB, shes good for the game as far as her demeanor and dress, its the slow play I can do without though.

It's completely unfair and oftentimes rude when these slow players slow down an entire event. They never are the ones having to play a match at 1am because they took 4hrs to play a match, it's the people playing after them.

I seem to remember a match not long ago where a player ended up having to play around 1am, and then had like an 8am match in the morning when his match was scheduled for 10pm, but the 2 previous matches caused that player to have to sit till 1am to START his match, that's 4 friggin hrs late for start time cause of slow play.

Dennis has never missed by a ball? and who cares what you buy? You don't even know a bad stroke can cause a miss-Oh man.

You see guys playing fast, loose and well and you think-This guy can beat Jenn. Final score 9-5 Jenn.

I dont know if Klatt has a nickname but...There is only one Time Bandit.


Eric >

Who might that be? I think he/you has competition.

Klatt is a great player just like Jennifer is. This isn't about ability, it's about me and other spectators paying to watch players stare at balls for hours. I won't do it.

Go back to sleep and when you wake up try again.

On point!!

Jenn mustve have worked her way up for her winning ways at the table to be getting this shot clock buzz.

Its like an initiation on the forum when a pro becomes a pro with habits people talk about.

She is a strong player but hasnt gotten the whirlwind set of championships and title defenses but definitely in the running.

I think skyline billiards is her room with hubby in toe.

Duuuuuuh-Who would think?

Did you also factor in her hotness being one of reasons why she is the talking point ? :thumbup:
