High Jennifer. You don't know me, but my daughter (then 10) and I watched you play in Laurel Md in the CAT tour. I was trying to get her interested in pool, so we sat close to your table. We probably bothered you by all the chomping we were doing on the burgers.
I remember that you shot like an SL 4 (strong) or a weak SL 5 and that your opponent had trouble racking the balls. I was in disbelief as it seemed that she took almost 10 minutes one time to rack the 9 balls - the one ball just wouldn't stay on the spot. You were remarkedly patient, especially after this continued to happen. That's when I couldn't stand it anymore and got up and left.
Then my wife and I came the following year to the same pool hall and I was watching you shoot from afar. Being married of course to the cutest poolplayer ever and not looking at your good looks, I only noticed that you had a very very smooth stroke and were shooting balls in with a great deal of professionalism (I mean the cueball floated around perfectly with just the correct amount of speed). I asked Amanda who you were and she said :"that's Jennifer Berretta, the top player on the CAT tour". I took another look and at once recogized you from the previous year, and I must say that I could not believe that you were the same person whom I had watched previously. At once I predicted that you would go very far in pool, after all who in the world could make so much progress in a year, especially starting at such a late age. Why did I think this? Because you have the talent IMO and more importantly the desire to come that far that fast.
I am very much impressed with your success and wish you the best of luck.
