Why did Jasmin miss in her hill-hill match last night, for those of you that saw the match?

JB Cases said:Pressure. Every one of us knows what it is. Imagine being a young woman in the spotlight like she is.
She knows that every shot she dogs is another one that people can point to and say that women can't play as well as the men.
I have seen Tony Ellin miss a two foot hanger on the hill, costing him $8000.
But he never had to fade the kind fo pressure that Jassy has each time she tees up against the guys. She represents her gender when she plays, unfortunately.
We are still in the time where she is seen as a woman first and a player second. Added to that the producers put her under more pressure by putting her on the tv table for three days straight.
But, fire forges hardened weapons. She will come back stronger. No shame in losing 9:8. She didn't get blown away by the male competition. I only hope that more women follow her lead.

Jasmin was playing great all week. Perhaps she had something to prove and I think she was successful in doing so. By no means small nor large did Jasmin not come at par to that tournament's skill-level. She was simply awesome!
Sometimes you miss a ball because you are more concerned about getting the white ball to the required place.perfectly positioned for the next shot.unknownpro said:She played fine. If it was a mental error, what was it?

I've seen just about everybody dog their brains out. And I've done it plenty. This is not really a dogged shot, imo. A dogged/choked shot is a bad stroke to me. I don't think this was a bad stroke.JB Cases said:Pressure. Every one of us knows what it is. Imagine being a young woman in the spotlight like she is.

ahead, concentrated more on her CB control for her next shot, it happens to the best of them.
I'm sure she will come back stronger than before, and this just proves to all and sundry that she can
hang with the big dawgs out there. Go Jasmin!
unknownpro said:I don't think the pressure got to her either. She hit straight into the two rails coming off the four ball and on the new cloth that causes it to kill more than usual. She was short on the five, and put the english on to control the cueball, but didn't aim correctly for that english because she was concentrating too much on making the ball, imo.
