Pool Cue News and Review

I’m a fan of Jasmin just like everyone else (an not just because she’s smokin’ hot), but saying that her game is slipping is an understatement.  In the last WPBA event, Jasmin lost in the second round and then again in the third round to players that she honestly should have beaten.  Two years ago at the BCA 9 Ball Tournament, I watched her tear through everyone, but since then she’s been very beatable.  As hot athletes go, she’s beginning to look a lot more like Anna Kournikova than Maria Sharapova and questions are starting to be asked if she’s just a flash in the pan.

She did have a nice run in the Women’s World Championships, but its still just another Top 5 finish.  My opinion - she’s got Michelle Wie Syndrome.  She read too many of her clippings, spread herself too thin and as a result, can’t even come close to making it to the TV round for the first WPBA event.  We’ll see what happens in Charlotte this June, but you really have to question whether or not she should be grouped in the same company as players like Allison Fisher, Karen Corr and Ga Young Kim.
