How we doing....

I'm what you could call a newbie to this site....

I played Pro from '92 through to the end of the '94 season. I wasn't good enough to make it all the way. My highest ranking was 274 after 3 years playing competitively. I loved it & it made a man out of me.

I still love the game, keep a close eye on it, but have some what become disillusioned with the way the game has gone, the rep it now has & where the game is going (Asia I think). Not that I mind it heading to Asia, just what are the people doing running the game these days doing about it?

As said, I certainly don't mind sharing the game but hey, it's well & truely fallen of its perch. It's the players & fans I feel for.

Yours in Sport,

John From London Town MBE

Hi CC. I don't play much now. I used a Maple 2 Piece with a Rosewood butt, 22 ounce, I always preferred the heavy cue. I still have the cue. I'm waiting until my son is tall enough to introduce him to playing the game though I explain how things work, from a rules perspective now.

You.....?
