US Open Bound

[Bob Jewett]

Markley Billiards in the Philadelphia suburbs has all brand new Diamonds. Half 7' and half 9', including 2 9 footers with 4 1/18" corner pockets, which I think is the MR spec. ...

And they open at 9AM on Sunday.

9 am pool player time?

Haha. As one who gets up early, that IS a thumbs up.

I'm your age, so If I am headed towards the most Important tourney of my life, I'm gonna wanna go someplace low profile and practice. Check all the boxes with no "eyes" over my shoulder. Make it close to the event locale so it is not a drag to drive any distance,(fatigue).
All that said: there is a place in Allentown,Pa. that had a few nice 9 footers. Been ages,but if I remember right it was a bowling alley or next to one,.... something like that. Money matches there,(A speeds & short-stops). I heard Daz had stopped in on occasion when he lived near there.

Jordan Lanes, I believe is the place.

Clapping's not always my strongest suit.

Maybe pick your nose so we can easily recognize you

Want to shark Mika a bit? My honorary nephew Matt beat Mika during the Reno bar table tourney some years back. Matt had a beard back then...Mika complained about being "beaten by a logger". What Mika didn't know is that Matt's family background is the Oregon Timber industry.
So, during the handshake, you might say something about a friend who is a red headed Oregon logger?

OMG, I love it. My career for the past 37 years has been hardwood pallets. I work with logs, timber, etc. on a daily basis. What a coincidence. Might be a sign. Lol

Go get him! Poor Mika, drawing you for an early match. Seriously, amateurs have been able to sneak up on pros and take a match now and then. Matt very much an amateur with a Fargo of 680 or so...odds were overcome, but it happens. So don't consider yourself beat before the match starts. When practicing, don't forget the lag...get an idea of the tables speed.
