Last Update On My Comeback

[Johnnyt]

I know 90% of you are happy to know it's my last update:smile: .
I believe I've gone about as far as I can go after the three-year lay-off. I'm not getting any further on my home table. I'm about back to a "B" player on the bar box. Now I need to try one of those 7-foot Diamonds with the tight pockets. If I can still shoot on it like a "B" player I'll have to start playing in tournaments and take a few people that I know are "B" players, up on their challenges for $100 and $200 10-ball sets. I believe if I can take the next step up to "B+" or "A", I'll have to get in the mix again. Johnnyt

John,
I'm in the 10% who want more updates, not less.

"B" player is very good JohnnyT. Not many people ever really get to that level. Hopefully some of the other B or A players will want to play you some. I know if I lived in the Tampa area, I would love the chance to try and get your scalp. It would be a big feather in someone's cap to bag JohnnyT!
Good shooting JT, and Happy New Year also!

I thought you were going to keep us updated till the WPBA started again? (with some additional threads about latest news from omgwtf, of course)

Seriously though, I'm with Terry here. I would love to get some updates, especially if you decide to match up with people in your area. Let us know how it goes, and what you are struggling with and your plans for improvement.

Good luck!

Oh I'll update you all on the match-ups after the fact:wink: . I just don't want people to know when I'm coming. If I put a date up here when I was starting to look for action, I'm sure there would be a line of people that I don't know how they play. I like to know I have a chance and I never play just for fun-fun. Johnnyt

???????????????:happydance:

Did you just say you were looking for some $100 & $200 action sets of ten ball with a B PLAYER?

First in line. :thumbup2:

I thought for a minute there that you weren't going to let us know how you were doing out in the trenches

Yes, please tell us your stories as they unfold :smile:

Meezer gal, a lot of Johnny T's adventures wind up in bar room brawls.
But like you, I'd still like to hear the whole story about the first guy he goes off too on his road back to "B" status player.
Maybe he has mellowed. (highly unlikely)

UMMM, I don't recall whoofing at anybody here on AZ. I'm sure I'll play some AZ members down the line, but they won't be the first ones I play. Unless the half dozen or so I want to match up with come on AZ and figured out who I am. In that case my gig is up and I'll play some of the ones that sent PM's wanting to match-up, practice with me, and some even some that want to trap/rob me. Don't worry, before anyone comes on here and says I only want the nuts. I'm just looking for the one's around the Tampa area that have plenty of money, big mouths, and are at least "B" players. I have them all picked out. A few of them beat me over three years ago after my stroke when I had to sit down and rest after every rack. That's my own fault for trying to play in that condition, but they owe me money and they will pay it back over a pool table with three years of weekly interest tacked on. Johnnyt

Go get 'em Johnny.... it's never too late to get even !

I'm just messin' wid ya Johnny but I'm sure you know that already. I like the idea that you haven't forgot those guys who played you when you were down. They have a little something coming....
