Allison Fisher

Considered by many to be the leading lady in women’s pool today, Allison Fisher started her illustrious pool career by winning the World Snooker Championship at the age of 17.  She continued playing snooker and living in England for the next ten years, accumulating a stunning array of titles.  In 1995, Allison relocated to the U.S., where her domination continues o­n the women’s pro tour.  She currently resides in Charlotte, NC, and has recently become a BCA-certified instructor.  Her countless collection of awards, titles, and championships has made Allison o­ne of the most popular and well-respected players in the game today.

Allison won her first World Snooker Championships at the age of 17. After an unparalleled snooker career in which she won countless titles and successfully defended her World title all but twice in her 10 years of pro snooker, Allison moved to the U.S. in 1995 to take a shot at the Women's Professional Billiards Pro 9-Ball Tour.

Allison won just the second tour event she played in and has never looked back. Her tournament record compiled in the 8 years since then is unmatched in the history of professional cue-sports among men or women. She has won more 9-Ball tournaments than the total wins of all her pro competitors combined, and over 5 times as many titles as the player with the 2nd most wins in that span.

In addition to her unmatched tournament record, Allison's exemplary sportsmanship exhibited at all times and her admiration by her many fans and followers has made her a true superstar and role model in the pool world. She has given of herself back to the game in countless ways, donating her time and money to numerous charities, and offering professional instruction to share her talents with others.

Allison began in the world of cue sports at the tender age of seven by watching snooker o­n television. She loved it so much that her parents bought a 1-foot long table for her to play o­n. By the age of 12, she had outgrown her tiny table and moved to a 6'x12' Snooker table. She joined a league at 13. She began working with a coach, Frank Callan, to whom she gives significant credit. By 15, she won her first National title, and at 17, won her first World Championship. From 1983 to 1995, Allison won over 80 National titles, 11 World Championships, including three Mixed Doubles and the o­nly Ladies Mixed Doubles ever held.

In October 1995, Mother's Billiards in Charlotte, NC, invited Allison to compete in her first WPBA Classic Tour event. She gladly accepted and placed 9th respectively. She entered the following three tour stops and won two. She placed 3rd in her first "WPA Ladies World Championship," o­nly to later win the '96, '97, and '98 World Championships, a feat that has never been done before.

Allison believes her technique is the strongest part of her game. "If your basics are consistent, it will bring overall consistency to your entire game," she says.
