So I’ve been away from pool for about eight years or so. It was my main pastime. I loved playing and watching youtube videos of the pros. I was a player and a fan. Priorities shifted and I decided to try school again (obligatory “go Bruins”). School and work took up so much of my time that I think I maybe picked up a cue about a dozen times, and only once did I bring out my own cues outside of their case. Other hobbies came, but I always considered myself a pool player. Now that places are starting to open back up, I really want to start playing pool again.

I lost contact with all my pool playing friends and now live in a different area. Before I go to the pool hall with a sign saying “play me”, I thought I’d give this a try.

Anyone in the Los Angeles area want to play some? I’m not really looking to gamble, just play. We can split table time. I live in the South Bay, but I'm willing to go out and about. I’m in my early thirties, have cue, and will travel. I’m also getting my second shot this week. Back when I did play, I was a SL5/SL6 in APA 8/9 ball. My stroke might need some work, but I like to think I still have some of the knowledge. I shot a few balls over the weekend, and I’m probably a C- player. I beat the 3 ball ghost on occasion. Playing with balls is more fun when you're not alone.

I also live in the South Bay (Lawndale). Used to be a B player but now I'm just another banger since I rarely play at all. No table time to split at my house. Just bring some chocolate ice cream or Yoo Hoo. :) We're almost the same age. I'm in my early 70s. Vaccinated as well.

PM me here and we can hook up. I like One Pocket and Banks. 9-Ball is too hard for me any more. I haven't run a rack yet this year.

Thanks for the offer Jay, I'll PM you!
 
That will be cool if you guys get together for some shooting, thats why I like it when people include the city and state they are from in their profile, might make it easier to find other like minded people in your area.
 
I'm definitely interested in playing. I have a Valley table in my garage that is quite challenging for a bar table (4 inch pockets put in by West State Billiards).

I've also hardly shot on any 9 footers in the last year due to lockdown. I'd be interested in meeting up at Mr. Lucky's when they reopen (supposedly June 1)- they have good 9 footers and some Diamond 7 footers too. I also want to check out Good Times in Lawndale
