I agree Jennie. The world has not seen Kelly's best game yet. In Kelly's very first WPBA tournament she had Allison down 8:1 and lost. That is a testament to Kelly's strength at the table. It's also a testament to Allison's caliber.
The fact is though that Kelly rarely gets BEAT. Mostly she beats herself with mistakes that she normally wouldn't make.
I am a Kelly Fisher fan Steve. Mostly because I have the privilege to have gotten to know her and see her game up close. The best thing for women's pool is for Kelly to continue to play only in women's tournaments. If she stated to mix it up with the men and got somse seasoning against tougher competition then the women would hate life as Kelly would become unbeatable.
Yes, on the WPBA tour she is definitely well behind Allison and Karen as far as her record goes compared to theirs. On another note though Kelly started playing on the WPBA at a time when the competition is much tougher than ever before. The other women have been toughened up considerably from the tag team of Allison Fisher and Karen Corr.
So moving forward, with the new rankings system and single elimination final 16 brackets, it's definitely tougher to attain the number one position and defintely tougher to hold it.
So let's see if from this point on who ends up dominating, if anyone. I guarantee you that if Allison is truly head and shoulders above the field then she will bounce back and regain number 1 in no time. However, if the rest of the field has finally reached a point where they are able to play world class alongside Allie then it will be tougher for her to get back there.
The test for Kelly going forward will be how long she can hold the number one spot now that she has it.
