| Nov. 22, 2023 9 ball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Best pitcher shingaurds I picked up cheap pair of soccer shinguards for when I play infield. They protect my lower leg well, as I tend to position myself directly behind a batted ball to knock it down. I leave them on the entire game, and don't even feel them when I'm running the baseplate.

| Nov. 20, 2023 9 ball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Player rating If a 70aaa player's team does not enter a tournament, and that player would like to participate,but not on another 70aaa roster, what would be the options? Can he play down on 65+? Would his player rating be changed based on success of temporary 65+ team? Tku for input,geo. |
| Oct. 30, 2023 9 ball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Surgery & playing after Dqmtv..here is how I am handling similar situation. Last Dec,during my annual physical, complained to my doctor of left knee pain. Xray showed moderate/severe arthritis..10 yrs prior had surgery to repair torn meniscus. I mentioned knee replacement surgery to correct the problem, but he also balked at this quick solution. He said " not so fast",we have prep work to do before we arrive at that point. He prescribed physical therapy,wt loss,pain meds,etc. So,I've been working hard to get ready for my ortho appt. Yes seems to be the positive outcome of a knee replacement has a lot to do with prep work. Meanwhile I've continued playing softball 3x/wk thru the pain,and some days were real tough. I am looking fwd to corrective knee surgery,will be ready for it when necessary,and expect a reasonable recovery period of about 3-4 months. My online research indicates knee replacements last about 15-20 yrs,depending on degree of usage. I will play with the pain until I can no longer,then get the problem resolved. I'm 70, 192 pds,5'8"" play outfield/infield. Tku geo |

| July 12, 2023 9 ball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Player tournament eligibility 70+ AAA reside in RI. What teams would I be qualified to play on for "qualifier tournaments?". Willing to travel anywhere outside my region, but teams are restricted it seems as to who they may carry on their roster. Trying to lock up a travel team, would be most helpful knowing where to start. Tku Geo |

| June 12, 2023 9 ball | Topic: Players looking to join a team Discussion: Utility player available for local tournaments Hi folks..I'm 70,started playing last year. Consider myself an average player for my age group, can play any position you need me at. Being a newbie,not sure where I qualify to play, as a RI resident. I presently play on 65+ local teams 3 days per week. I enjoy the competition, have fun, and support my teammates. As a new SSUSA member,with no past documented player history, my player rating is AAA. Any invites or advice is welcome. Tku George |
| May 25, 2023 9 ball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Individual player ratings Ok thanks guys for info. I'll call HQ and sign up today for my 70-74 slot...$75 fee appears to be reasonable in support of the organization and to establish my status. Having fun as I slowly and safely work myself back up to speed. |
| May 22, 2023 9 ball | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Individual player ratings Hello folks..I am 70 and am playing weekly in 2 rec leagues for 60+, and a 65+ senior league in RI. This is my 2nd yr of participation, with no prior history to form an evaluation of my abilities. I consider myself an average player within my age group. I would like to make myself available to teams for nearby qualifier tournaments. What is my player status? What, if any,restrictions are imposed as to which teams I may play for? There's lot of stuff here to figure out for a newbie. Tku geo |
