Allison Fisher is universally regarded as the
most successful billiards player in history.
Since winning
her first world championship at age 17, she has
amassed more world, national, and professional
titles than any other sports star—male or
female. Her personal achievements, industry
contributions, and dedication to the less
fortunate have transformed her into a true
champion in sport and life, and her
good natured elegance has endeared her to
millions of fans around the world.
Allison was born in Cheshunt, England, on
February 24, 1968. She began playing billiards
at age seven and credits her parents, Peter and
Christine, for enabling one of sports’ truly
remarkable careers.
Today Allison dominates women’s cue-sports. She
won 80 national and 11 world titles, and became
a household name in Great Britain before moving
to Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1995. Since
immigrating to the United States, she has added
53 Women’s Professional Billiard Association
(WPBA) “Classic Tour” titles and an
unprecedented 21 international championships to
her record.
Allison’s achievements are unmatched in any
sport:
-
More tournament wins than the combined
totals of all her competitors, and nearly
three times the titles won by the
second-ranked player
-
The world’s top-ranked player for the last
six years, 11 of the past 12 years in the
WPBA, and for the preceding 10 years while
residing in England.
-
The only person to win the National
Championship eight times
-
The only person to win the Tournament of
Champions five times
-
The only person to win the World
Championship four times
-
The only person to win the U.S. Open
Championship four times (Allison is
currently the reigning U.S. Open Champion
and has retained that title for three
consecutive years)
-
Has won multiple WPBA Tour stops at least
four times
-
More “Player of Year” titles than any other
sports star, extending her POY streak to six
straight years, and 11 of the past 12
years.
Allison’s partnership with Cuetec Cues began in
1995. She has maintained extraordinary success
throughout their relationship. She says,
“Cuetec has supported me for many years now and
I have been very happy with the equipment I am
using. I played with the same butt and SST
shaft from my signature line for 10 years, and
recently switched to an inlayed Cuetec cue with
the new R360 shaft. The cue is not only nice
looking; it also has great balance and feel.
Furthermore, because the R360 has minimal
deflection, it takes much of the guess-work out
of aiming. It’s making a big difference to my
game and confidence.”
