Playing Pool after 50?

I played Jimmy Moore when he was in his 80s, he kicked my ass.

Most athletes are in their prime from about 25 to 30, I would add 10-20 years for pool players. But the average player could be competitive into their sixties.
I also had my butt handed to me by Jimmy Moore , I didn't mind one bit racking the balls for him just to have the privilege to play a few racks of pool with him .
Not long afterwards I heard about a " road player " who Jimmy was practicing with that told him he played pretty good pool for a old man !
Well they changed the game to a race to 11 for $ 1.000.00 winner break , the road player racked 11 racks straight when he tried to settle his debt Jimmy told him to keep his money so he could get some pool lessons !

So yes I feel there's hope for all of us as we age gracefully or try to anyway even with a health issue from time to time !

It is laughable if you are claiming the last time the US won had anything to do with Bergman playing in it. It was more to do with having Johan as the team captain I think.


No, not really. None of this is even close to reality. Also, the correct trope is that he is one of the US players after the break, not players in the world. There is zero evidence in his record to support either claim.
In his first major event in a long time, Bergman beat the following players across banks, singles and mixed doubles.

SVB
Gorst
Filler
Shaw
Biado
Maciol
Wojiecech
De Luna
Van Corteza

You are a hater.

Just accept the fact that Bergman is one of the best players in the world.

Playing Pool after 50?

I will be 69 the 26'th of this month and started playing pool again about a year ago after almost 20 years off.
I have had back and hernia surgeries, shoulders are shot and eyes aren't as good as they once were....
But a friend that is 76 and I managed to run through the losers bracket after losing our first match last Saturday in a last pocket tournament and we were guaranteed 2'nd place. As it was getting late and the weather was getting bad the decision was made to combine 1'st and 2'nd place prizes and split it equally between the 2 remaining teams so we tied for 1'st. But that was ok since I had to drive 80 miles to get back home when it was freezing rain and snow mix.
early happy birthday......🍰🍰
