KELLY FISHER DEFEATS MONICA WEBB TO CAPTURE HER SECOND WIN ON THE 2010 KWIKFIRE TOUR
Congratulations to Kelly Fisher for defeating Monica Webb 9-4 to win her second KWIKFIRE Tour event of 2010. We’d like to thank Max Terry and his staff at Burrkat Billiards in Monroe, NC for their hospitality during the weekend’s event.
The field was as strong as ever with 6 top 16 WPBA professionals in the line up, including Kelly Fisher, Allison Fisher, Gerda Hofstatter, Kim Shaw, Line Kjorsvik, and Monica Webb who nearly nabbed the recent WPBA Atlanta Classic title. Coupled with tough semi-professional talent, and the inclusion of the top professionals, the KWIKFIRE events always provide the fans and players the opportunity to watch and enjoy highly competitive pool on both Saturday and Sunday.
“œI feel like I just won an Olympic Gold Medal,” said a thrilled Ga Young Kim moments after capturing the 2010 Mohegan Sun International Tournament of Champions title. The spirited $20,000 winner-take-all event was held at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut, October 6.

Archer Runs Perfect 100’s Twice: Sigel Beats Immonen in Controversial Match
Everyone likes an easy trick shot to keep in their pocket to whip out just to show off from time to time. Sometimes the shots I feature here are quite difficult, but I like to put in some easy ones on occasion. This is a shot that is pretty easy, so long as you set it up right and use a good jump cue. Start by placing the three balls at the side pocket, as diagrammed. The two balls closest to the side pocket are in line, directly across table. Set the third ball up, accounting for a bit of throw, aimed about a diamond short of the corner pocket. With this set-up, you should be able to strike the middle ball and pocket all three with one stroke. The way it is diagrammed, I have you jumping the cue ball over a wall of balls to pocket the easy three. The only trick to this one is planning where the cue ball will land before striking the middle ball. If you hit it too hard or too soft, it changes the throw of the third ball, so practice with a consistent hit and consistent elevation. If you jump too hard and land on the middle ball, it will throw the middle ball too much.
