Who was Jason Twist?
Jason “Tornado” Twist won the 8-ball pool world championship four times. By defeating Roger Demortier (France) and Jeremy Hooper (Cornwall, England), he won the WEPF World Rules World Championship twice, in 2000 and 2002, as well as the IPA World Professional Seniors (over 40) Championship twice, in 2015 and 2016, respectively. The WEPF World Rules World Championship was also won by Twist in 2000 and 2002. He resides in the English town of Ilfracombe, which is part of the North Devon county.
Twist started playing at the age of 12, and he set himself the audacious goal of winning the world championship. The Devonian, who was already an England international and a Brunswick Masters champion, beat Stacey Vine and Terry Hunt in decisive frames in front of the cameras to advance to the 1995 WEPF World 8-Ball Pool Championship final in Chorley.
The following four times he reached the final — in 1995, 2003, 2008, and 2015 — he lost to Daz Ward, Chris Melling, Gareth Potts, and Jack Whelan. Along with competing for the England national pool team from 1989 to 2009, when they won 12 international team championships, he also won three titles at the European level, bringing his total number of world championships to 16.
