I'd like to thank all the AZ Members that have answered my many questions over the last few years on here. I'm proud to say at this time I've made it back to "A" on a bar box. I know a lot of members on here don't understand how someone that claims he was an "A" on a BB for years asking so many basic questions that any "B" player would know.
As most players know, pool takes memory, both memory of how to do things and muscle memory. When someone has a stroke (I've had 3) it can affect different parts of your brain. In my case it wiped-out just about everything I ever knew about playing pool before the stroke. I also cry watching sad or romantic movies now that I never did before and many other things have changed in my brain. I feel for the most part it's made me a better person, but that's for a different forum.
Again, thank you all for the many answers to my questions, for steering me in the right direction on everything from equipment to training DVD's. I'm now looking forward to my health to get a bit better (which it is) and start playing in a few tournaments in Florida, now that I know I won't embarrass myself too badly. I know my gambling days are over (can't fade the pressure anymore), but that's alright too…been there, done that many times in my 55 years of playing. Johnnyt
