I was coaching Table Tennis out of Princes Entertainment Centre...mostly pool and billiards. Next to the Rosstown on Dandy Rd. It's now a storage facility haha.
I have a customer...really rich. He has Walter Lindrums cue that he used to break the World Record and they had to change the rules because of it. He bought it at auction early 70s. I would hate to think what it is worth now.
We did have a pool table but I was useless...blind as a bat. Terrible on the full size ones...at least ours was 3 quarter which wasn't so bad. Dad, grandpa and bro were good. They loved billiards. Brothers highest score is mid 150s. Mine would be 20 odd lol
I have always liked it...but never played a game in my life. We were away at least every second weekend during the warmer months at the shack growing up. My oldest kid...different story...he was suppose to be in England as a pro but covid came along and stuffed that up for him. Every weekend for...
We had a English pro cricket player at my kids club a few years back who was very good at TT...we had epic battles at the club lol. People would watch us instead of the cricket lol.
Taught a kid with cerebral palsy who did quite well...ended up playing for Australia (not Olympics)...as soon as he got success the bigger name coaches pinched him from me lol...dodgy buggers.
Yeah we had one at the beach house so when the weather was dodgy it was TT, Darts or a board game (no tellys). Dad grew up playing it so it was inevitable we got pushed in that direction. Bloody great to coach because it is so small...got to work with heaps of Olympians doing Holiday programs...
Nah. Never really got into it. Other half loves it and goes most years. I've been a few times. Remember seeing Krickstein and Molik another year...maybe she beat Shriver? Rings a bell. Golf, footy, basketball and Cricket are my favs. Table tennis had been big in my family...maybe why I don't...
