Need opinions on who is currently the best female 14.1 player.
Also who was the best all time female 14.1 player?
Thanks

She was before my time, but it's my understanding that Jean Balukas was in a league of her own and is widely acknowledged as the most dominating Woman player of all time, especially in 14.1 .
If there was anyone who could be a legit challenge to her dominance it would be Allison Fisher, but like the great boxers from different eras, we would need a time machine to ever truly know.

I wonder if one of the Taiwanese women is better than Jasmin. I went to Taipei a couple of times, and people play straight pool there like we play 9 ball here. Everyone plays it. I'd bet the top Taiwanese women are very familiar with it, there are just no competitions for them to show us.
I agree with One stroke! I'd also like to see Jean come of retirement and show today's women players how 14.1 is played!
Jasmin is not in the conversation in nine ball but is top four ever in 14.1, along with Jean Balukas, Ruth McGuinness and Jeanette Lee. Jasmin is surely the best at 14.1 today, as her dominance at the European Championships has shown.
The 9-ball best players today are Han Yu and Siming Chen and it's just about too close to call which is the better of the two. Their title counts do not allow them to be compared to Jean Balukas or Allison Fisher quite yet, but their skills are comparable to these legends of the game.

I agree with Jasmine, but why would you say Balukas all time? What is Balukas's high run? What mens 14.1 tournies has Balukas got top 3 in?

Karen Corr, Jasmine, Allison, a couple Chinese and Taiwanese and maybe 1-2 Filipinas.
I agree, Sha Sha belongs, but just like the men...not many of the yonng play 14.1 anymore. Put up 10k and give players like Cheska a practice table for 2 weeks and a bunch of them will run some 100's...no sweat. Johnnyt
Agreed that Sha Sha Liu is an amazing player, I rate her just a little below the other two. Of course, it's a matter of opinion, but when the biggest titles are in play, Han Yu and Siming Chen have a slightly better track record than Sha Sha Liu.
Mainland China sure has produced some fantastic players!
