Today, I had my (becoming) usual pre-tournament practice session with Rob, but, as is unusual, I decided not to take practice on the tough shot and instead focused on getting my house shot game in order with the recent change to the shot. I concentrated on playing a tighter inside line with the Hy-Road, but was having mixed results, mostly due to not having my speed control “down” on the line yet. Rob, for his part, had a third game in the 250s, but he plays more down-and-in than I do, so he may have had a better “look” at the pocket than me.
Tournament note: The annual Brockton, Foxvale, and Tri-City mixed doubles tournament is scheduled for Feb. 27 and 28 at Westgate Lanes. Entries close on Feb. 11.
