I saw her play at the Super Billiard Expo some years ago. She is tough. She went hill hill with the guy that either won the tournament or came in second. I forget which because I wasn't there for the final day. She was strong, she can play at the pro level. Amazing to me she started playing at the age of 29.
@@141poolplayer i had to come back to this. you just went to some rando website and trusted what it said, ha. az billiards: trusted. she's been playing pro since 2000. do the math, boomer.
Jennifer Barretta is pure quality. Such a lovely player BUT, you can't let them get away from the questions bredren. She knows what a pre-shot routine is. Make them demonstrate it! Put them on the spot. And she should have banked that ball and shot that back cut too. :) And I'm not a fan of trick shots, but hers was fun. Great video!
Super video. I picked up a couple of things. What I really love about Jen the most is that she is very good communicator and passes on RELEVANT information. I hope to see more vids like these with Jen and other players.
I hate exactly THAT shot too! It`s like a drop kick in soccer. You just don`t "feel" where the ball is going to end. To me, it`s more hope than skills. 😅
Same, I hate that shot. I think it's an awkward shot because the object ball is moving in the opposite direction as the cue ball after contact (forward vs backward), so it's hard to judge where to hit it.
hey Jennifer , I watch Minnesota Fats vs Mosconi on TV playing pool when I was 13 years old , and I said to my self that's is what I'm going to do for a living . The game of pool was my first love . My parents they bought a pool table , my mom was a good pool player . I sooner stay in the house and pool , my buds would come over to see if I wanted go out to play baseball or football , said no , but you can come in play pool . A pool hall was my high school. I made my first pool cue when I was a teenager . I had 3 perfect games of snooker when I was 18 and thought nothing of it . When I went to a bar , I had very little interest in any woman , I went there to hustle pool , made lots of cash . Latter on I join a pool league , it was fun , our team made some cash . 1 day I was practicing with a bud , I told him in a joking way , my legs is sore from walking around the pool table , so I told him that I'm going to stand behind the cheat line and take all my shoots from there , he laugh , big mistake on his part , so I kick his ass . I can say that I chase my dream to become a pro pool player . I use to play 60 hours per week , I did this for 45 years , 1 day I would try 9 ball for a change , because I lost interest playing 8 ball , so I went to the pool hall that sponsor's me and so I gave nine ball I try , I ran 11 racks of balls without missing 1 shoot , made 3 nine ball when I was practicing and I realized I lost interest of playing pool . I did teach other pool players how to improve their game . Also I coach a all woman's pool team and they did great . I watch you how to figure out how to bank a cue ball to hit another ball by using the dots on the rail . I never did that , I just stand back and used my imagination and it work good for me . Here is some pool tips from a old pro ok . This how I break , I would put the cue ball about 3 inches away from the rail , on the cheat line , then I would take aim on the cue ball at the bottom left side , then I would strike the cue ball with a follow through , never ever shoot hard , you get a better break with a follow through with your cue stick , the balls always explode , when I do this kind of break I always make 3 or 4 balls from the break . Also with the reaction from this kind of break , when the cue ball hits the 1 ball at the left side the cue would always hit the side rail and do another break of the rack without failed . One day I was playing snooker and doing some thinking about dart players and they would shoot with so much accuracy , with just a flick of a wrist , so I thought lets give it a try , wow so much better . So I had to go to buy another cue stick , but the cue stick had to be with just a bit smaller tip so a person could use it for 8 ball or snooker . I never did like shooting hard , but really like playing juice . Here is the best way to learn how to make perfect juice shoots and potting balls . I would place a pack of 3 balls on any place on the table , then the rest of the of the balls in the corner pocket , take 1 ball out and place it on the rail , the object is shoot the ball in the corner ,having juice on the cue ball and break up the pack of 3 balls without the cue ball hitting any rails , then you have sink the 3 balls , after you do that , make another pack of 3 balls , but place them on a different place on the table , I would this for hours . Breaking out balls is a big part of the game and soon you would learn how to take control of the game . If you can't do break outs you better go find a different game to play . If you have any question please ask them
Cool, classy, beautiful and smart. But the thing I like most about her is her competitive fire. She seems like she's incredibly driven and hates losing as much as I do.
I have met lots of people that started playing later than that and became really good players - better than she is. If you have natural ability, and sound coaching, it does not take a long time to become a good player.
Hey, my man, lovely video yet again 29? I thought it was April Fools Day for 2 seconds. Love this video hopefully you can do more. I.e with FSR David jayson #AskThePro #HeyPoolFans #PoolLife
We need a better application for the sound. The mics used do not pick up her voice and I've had to CRANK my volume. Better mics, a boom mic, something has to be better than the non functioning model you're using. Scott Frost interview was almost inaudible at times.
LOL, yes, she is very methodical and the cure for insomnia. But she is a solid player. She is not good enough to keep internationally with other women in most cases, but she is a good player.
I love her so much. Everything about her seems so damn nice.

she's almost 60, so not too crazy.
@@Mike-zf4xg No way is she that old. Wiki says she is 39. Not that they are always right but she sure as hell isn't 60.

Totally agree!
I LOVE reverse cuts instead of head on cuts... they just clicked for me more... i'm weird lol
Me too

Great video! Keep them coming Karl!
29?!! I thought she was kidding at first. That's incredible.
You know, sometimes it’s best to start playing pool at a young age. For me, I started playing pool/billiards when I was in 3rd Grade.
@@mosesng6050of course its better to start early, but she start at 29 is good motivation for us 20+ pool player : D
My celebrity crush growing up, hasn't changed. Hope she gets back in the game like the fishers have!
Love you Jennifer 🥰
Love this series. Those are great questions! I hope you do more with other pros with the same questions!
More to come! Thanks
All I got from this was she's got an ex husband.... so she's saying there's a chance!
Wow never heard of anyone starting that late, natural talent.
I have met lots of people that started playing later than that and became really good players - better than she is. If you have natural ability, and sound coaching, it does not take a long time to become a good player.
@@jamesdavis8731everything is possible of course
who you met, she was number 1 woman player.. great achievement

Nothing wrong with looking good to go along with talent.
that blind cut is a problem for me as well
Make with svb another day he's special.
4:09 I love that shot, when I make it. 😅
I like shooting that shot too/
her intelligence level it way up there
Again, please do something about the poor audio quality.
She seems like a sweetie🌹
Same for me. Same shot. Its flatter than one thinks.
I absolutely abhor the exact shot she is referring to. It just doesn’t make any sense to me as there is no consistency to my misses with that shot.
We need a better application for the sound. The mics used do not pick up her voice and I've had to CRANK my volume. Better mics, a boom mic, something has to be better than the non functioning model you're using. Scott Frost interview was almost inaudible at times.
All sound problems should be fixed, issue we have had is we are learning on the job no outside help we make all videos etc
Well, Karl works for Matchroom so bad audio is in their blood 😙
Say Karl, Do you mind “What’s in my Case” video for Efren “Bata” Reyes?
jennifer
Not sure why winning a tournament with a big belly is anything special.
It has never bothered Jayson Shaw!
I think we need an SVB v Jen Barretta exhibition. Or… id love to see her in Mosconi. Like they might add one more slot for the top female?
Is she single now?? Didn’t see a ring on that finger.
My man asking the real questions
Still my dream wife 😊
Audio is horrible
As always from Karl. That's a shame because his content is great but he struggles with the mics and the sound.
She is without a doubt the most boring player to watch. It’s like she’s playing in sand or molasses, everything is in super slow motion.
LOL, yes, she is very methodical and the cure for insomnia. But she is a solid player. She is not good enough to keep internationally with other women in most cases, but she is a good player.
