| Questions | Answers |
|---|---|
| Your dream match? | My dream match would be beating Efren Reyes in a final for a million dollars ;) |
| Hey Kelly make sure to stop by /billiards before you leave Reddit. Who do you think is the best player that ever lived? | Ronnie O'Sullivan. He is the most talented cueist I've ever seen. |
| 4) When you're having a bad day, what do you do? | 4 - if I'm having a bad day I just pack my cue away because bad practice is more harmful to your game. I'll just come back fresh tomorrow. |
| How can I consistently get a good break in 8 ball? | First of all I would suggest you break from the box or even the headspot. Hitting the head ball as full on as possible, aiming just below center on the cue ball, trying to create a stopshot to control the cue. This will give more consistency. |
| Did billiards choose you or did you choose billiards? In other words, did you have to play? At what age did you start to get serious? | I started playing when I was very young. My parents had a bar and I played english 8 ball for fun. I was into many sports and never thought I would choose billiards. However, a coach, my coach today Lionel Payne, got ahold of me and suggested I continue in this sports. I started to get serious from the age of about 13 really. That's when I started to play in competitions. |
| Did you really develop more of a passion for the sport only after you started to get serious? | Yes, because then I started to have goals and ambitions, which gives you the passion. |
| With the state of pool the way that it is. Do you think that a pro player will still be able to make a career out of playing pool 10 years from now? | I bloody hope so. |
| It seems to be growing in China, and if that continues it may even be more lucrative than it is now. | |
| So do you think we will begin to see pros moving to China to play because of the growing popularity? | Based on the cultural differences it would be hard to live in China for a westerner, so I think you'll most of us will travel. |
| Favorite color ball to hit? Idk just curious. | The 9 ball, because that's what wins me the money. |
| What is the simplest piece of advice for a novice billiards player to improve their game immediately? | Work on getting a good consistent technique. Technique is everything. |
| What's the kind of dedication you have to put in to be a professional athlete? What's your daily routine on a regular practice day as well as on match days? | It's very easy to get lazy after playing for so long, so you have to be disciplined and keep to a good routine. |
| An average day, wake up and breakfast, go practice solo for 2-4 hours, then go to the gym. Come home and relax for the rest of the evening. | |
| Tournaments try and keep in a good routine, getting up early like normal, eating sensibly, working our a little, then preparing for my match. | |
| At what age did you go "Aah fuck it, I'll become a billiords pro, casual jobs suck.."? | Once I began to play serious, my goal was to be number 1 in the world. I was never very good doing the whole schoolwork revision thing, and I started playing so young, I never really thought about doing anything else. I actually use to take Mondays and Fridays off from school for tournaments, and my dad had to speak to the headmaster to get me off. |
| Do you have your own table at home? If so what kind? If not what would you want to have? | I do and it is a Brunswick metro tournament edition. |
| What was ur biggest winnings in a tournament? | $40K for 9 ball world championship. |
| Who do you think the best player in the world is? | The best player in the world is supposedly me right now lol :) |
| Edit: Also who do you think the best up-and-comer amateur player is? | No, I would say Allison has won everything there is to be won! |
| If you really tried and had a solid backer do you think you could hang with most of the top men players in both tournaments and in match play? | Yeah...there is no reason to think not. I think I could beat any of them on any one given day. |
| However, I do realize there is a difference in standard and that would be a tough feat. | |
| Karen Corr tends to mix it up with the guys. Any chance we'll ever see you at a tourney like Derby City? | Sure. I've just always had something on at the same time as the Derby. It was often visiting my family in the UK for the holidays. |
| Maybe I'll play next year. | |
| What did you feel after your first big achievement (as teenager) and how did other "kids" in college/school treat you :D? you were the cool one or more like an outside? Best regards! | I've always been cool, it just elevated my status lol :) |
| Most memorable match you've ever played in? | I've got a few. |
| First one was 1998 world ladies snooker championship final, where after losing to Karen Corr solidly for over a year I beat her 5-0 to win my first world title. | |
| Second one is US Open final against Allison Fisher in 2007, where I made the 8 then the cueball clipped the 9 and scratched to win the title. | |
| Lastly the 9 ball world championship final 2012 beating Fu Xio Fang. | |
| Do you earn a living through your sport? | Yes, I am very fortunate and do earn a living from the sport. |
| Are the competitions lucrative? | Some competitions are more lucrative than others, and if you win you can do okay. Although I wish the payout was like tennis :) |
| Favorite pool cue to play with, and any sentimental pool cues you own but don't play with? | Fury because I've been playing with them from the beginning of my pool career in 2004. |
| The most sentimental cue I'm happy to say is the one I'm playing with now because I won my first world championship pool titles with it. And I hope to win more :) | |
| Thank you for doing this AMA. My question is why did you leave Carolina Custom who use to make the Kwikfire brand to Fury? How do you think the playability stacks up? | I played with a Fury prior to the Kwikfire brand, but just fancied trying my own brand out. |
| It was a lot of hard work to promote and try to do by yourself. I wanted to focus on my game so I decided to step back from doing the Kwikfire cues, that's why we came up with the Kwikfire by Fury brand. | |
| Perfect mixing the two together. | |
| Hi there, I have been playing Snooker for the last three years and one of the biggest problems I face during the game is that sometimes I miss three or four easy shots altogether and this really throws me off my game. I guess this is a pretty common problem though. You start to get nervous, this impacts your line of aim and before you know it, the thought has settled in your head that this game is lost. And then you lose the next game, and then the next. Since you're a world champion snooker player, can you tell me a way how you can retract from this line of thought to keep your self calm and focused on the game. I guess my question is, how do you keep a clear mind and eliminate outside noise during the game? | Firstly you have stay in the moment. Easier said than done, but try and stay positive and wait for your next opportunity. Focus more on what your gonna do next time your at the table rather than what you've already missed or what they are doing. |
| Eliminating the outside noise purely comes with experience and developing your focus. | |
| Hi Kelly, been a fan of yours. (Wondered if Allison was your sister for a year before finding out the answer). What do you think is the reason for the lack of a professional wome snooker scene? | It was, and always has been, a very male dominated sport in the UK. |
| It's nickname is the gentlemans sport. | |
| Thanks for the answers so far I have enjoyed getting an insight into the life of a professional player. I have a few questions however of my own. 1) I have been playing seriously now for just over a year. Looking back on my game I have grown in leaps and bounds however recently its been as though I have hit a wall. What can I do to help myself move past this? Instructor? Any websites/books/videos you recommend? 2) You will be at the Soaring Eagle Open this weekend? How do I play a game with you? | I would recommend an instructor to be a good idea to get past the wall. He may see something and be able to fix it that you can't. |
| Yes I will be at the Soaring Eagle Casino playing in the WPBA Masters. | |
| We have a charity event on Wednesday evening where I believe people can sign up to play the players. | |
| Where do you see the future of professional pool in the US, especially for women? I don't believe there was a US Open in 2013... | Unfortunately when the economy hit we did lose a lot of events in the US. I'm really optomistic and feel that we can grow the sport back to where it was if not better. |
| What's your biggest piece of advice for an amateur player? | Set your goals and work towards them. Play in as many competitions as you can. |
| Hi, What do you think about American Rotation as a new format in tournements? | It's good to practice but I think it would be a little too confusing for TV. |
| Do you earn more from tournament play, gambling, or endorsements? | A combination of tournament play and endorsements. Tournament play depends on if I win or not :) |
| Do you use any drills, if so what are your favorites? Many men use gambling as a way to build their chops. Have you used money matches as a stepping stone or would you say tournaments are where you cut your teeth? | My favorite drill is playing the ghost. |
| I would say tournaments are where I cut my teeth. | |
| Hey Kelly big fan! Have you ever made a change in equipment that had a significant impact on your game? | I'm not one for changing anything with my equipment unless necessary. I don't even like changing a tip nor do i even really clean my shafts :) |
| I've been fortunate for nothing drastic to have happened to any of my equipment over the years, and I've taken care of it, so not really. | |
| However it was a massive change and learning curve converting from using a snooker cue to a pool cue. | |
| How do you control the friggin cue ball? | You learn from practicing. Keeping it simple it really consists of knowing deflection lines, where to hit the cue ball, and at what speed, combined. |
| Why don't you compete against men? | Mainly because we have enough women's events throughout the year to play in all over the world. |
| The men's events have large fields and the odds are smaller | |
| Have you ever played the SNES game Side Pocket? | No. I've actually not heard of it. |
| How many drinks can you have before your game starts to head far south? | It used to be a lot more than I can take now. |
| Can you post some cool videos of you making amazing shots?? | I haven't got any personally to hand. Maybe there are some on youtube. |
| What it would take to get you to match up with Chris Bartrum. | I would play him...but preferably he'd give me some weight. |
| I have no more questions, just wanted to say thanks for doing this. | No problem...thanks for being honest :) |
| Am I right in thinking that you have to have more skill for billiards than smoker or pool. | I would say snooker requires more skill and accuracy, however pool requires more control under pressure. |
