Ok....just got back from Classique Billiards in Phoenixville, PA -- playing conditions (at least on table 10) are pristine.......very fast cloth, super pro aramith balls, NICE......priced at $6 per person per hour.....we hit'em for about an hour and a half....conditions were like those we'll be facing at the Expo....we played on excellent 9' Gold Crowns with new Simonis......Expo has 7' Diamond Smart tables (sometimes gives the illusion of 8').....but speed was very very close.....hope the practice serves me well. Names spotted since I've been here: Tony Chohan, Ron Wisman, Tim Hall...it's almost 1:00 a.m. and I'm not even walkin' down to the Action Pit tonight......rest till tomorrow....will try to give little updates.......play smart.......
