Training
I've followed your lessons for about 23 weeks now and find them very informative. But as you know, one needs a partner who's willing to get together once per lesson to practice. I play at various places here in San Francisco and know of a couple of places where there is usually no wait for a table AND they're free. Are there any Premium Members in the San Francisco bay area who are also wanting to work on these lessons on a regular basis? I sure hope so. Thanks, Judy
Hi Judy,
I hope we can find you one.
This is a common problem we find so lets see if we can find you a willing training partner.
Most drills involve one person performing the exercise and the other placing the ball as required by the exercise. We call this person placing the ball the controller. When you are acting as the controller it is a great opportunity to practice your blocking and concentration. As blocking is an important part of the game you should be 100% focused at this time. You also owe it to your training partner to be blocking effectively so they get the most from their exercise.

Hi Judy,
I live in Noe Valley and have a decent setup in my garage (robot and all). I also play every weekend at the Sunset TT club. Drop a line if you're interested in playing. -Noah

Hi Noah,
I live in the Inner-Sunset (nearly adjacent neighborhood.) Contact me if you're interested in getting together regularly to work on PingSkills' weekly lessons. I know of a couple of places with tables that allow a bit more room to move about than our lower level. [I too have table and robot.] Judy
Hope this works out for you two Premium members.
