I tried to take some lesson with Little Joe a few years ago. It was very difficult. Many who walked by would stop and ask questions. We would meet before the opening time, but league players were there early.
I would suggest you go to a local pool hall. The Sandcastle is only five minutes away. Last year this place was jumping. A lot of money games.
Or, you can go to On the Snap. About 15 minutes away. Route 9 Sayerville. Both places have 9ft Brunswicks. Both are clean and the equipment is in excellent condition. Sandcastle has one 7ft diamond. The Snap has two.
