i picked up a new player this weekend and she just blowed my mind tonight. i 1st met her fri night when she joined our opposing team. being a new player she is a 3 in 8 ball and a 2 in 9. i watched when she played and saw she is the typical low level player when it comes to cueball control but was impressed with her accuracy drilling balls in pockets at 90 mph.not talking about straight in shots either.
well i asked her to join my sunday night twam and she said ok. she shows up tonight and i have to explain the rules as we go along playing 9 ball. example ; she shot at the 4 ball makes contact with it but another ball falls in. she goes to sit down and i explain its still her shot. also explain to her about timeouts if she feels she needs one.
i have her playing a 5 and she was giving him fits. well he plays a safe on the 1 and she calls a time out. wish i knew how to set up a table and show you but will describe the situation as best as i can.
cue ball down by bottom right pocket, 1 ball by top right pocket. all kind of balls in the way. no way to kick across table and go up without scratching. so i tell her to hit the side rail that the cue ball was next to as hard as she can thinking the cueball would hop over the cluster and go up table making contact with the one.
i go sit back down by the lo whose team we were playing against. well you had to be there to believe it. she rears back and smacks the cue ball ... sure enough it clears the cluster and heads up table towards the 1 ball.
problem is the cue ball flies up higher than the table light and lands about 2 inches past the 1 ball. my lo looks over at me and says wtf was that ? i said what do you mean wtf was that, she darn near made a good hit.
he said yea that was an impossible hit. i said it was my fault she did not make it. he said hows that ? i said i did not take into account how tall she was and how strong she might be. i told him when i coached her to hit it as hard as she could not taking into account she aint a normal size woman. i thought he wa going to bust a gut laughing so hard.
she is in her early 20's, dont know shit about pool but can drill the balls in the pockets better than most 3's. i got a diamond in the rough here fellas if i can keep her a 2.
