Hello..from Florida Village, Napoleon Ohio. Retired military and retired from civilian work force as well. Have worked my entire life starting at age 14 until now. Currently turning 69 in December 2026. I have played pool off and on for most of my life and started playing league pool about 10 years or so ago. Not very good but I will give you a game. I have mostly played in VNEA league but have played in APA and BCA. I have got to say BCA is not on my list of favorites due to CSI. Just my personnel opinion, if you like it more power to you. I feel as though CSI is bad for the sport and they certainly could care less about its base. Enough of that rant. I love the competition and I play with determination and the will to win. Glad to meet you and hope we have a long and happy relationship.
 
Thank you for the membership approval.My name is Wayne Lachance and I grew up playing in Palm Beach County back in the 70s. That pic is me around 1978, haha. I play to this day but no longer very competitive. I grew up around many top players and was very much in the mix tjrough the late 80s both on the road and in several tournaments. I have read this forum for many years and just decided to join. I wil chime in with some juicy stories as time goes on, but for now I again just wanted to say thanks for the membership approval and Hit um Straight!

Hi from arkansas. New here, but to pool been playing for about 38 years or so, first started when going to YMCA on base and kept it up ever since off and on. Played in few local legal in FWB when stationed there and did about a year of APA. Then plans changed and played a bit in Indonesia when moved there for local league. Been out of the game for a bit but getting a pool hall in my area in a few weeks of NWA, supporting a friends business. So time to get out the old cue maybe get another and start playing again.
 
Hi there!
The name's Stefan, from Germany. Playing pool since the late 80s with a long break which ended last January, and after discovering Dr Dave and Tor Lowry's stuff I'm having a lot of fun playing recently.
Before my break i never reached any satisfying level, nothing above the lowest league or maybe the 2nd lowest. But in the 90s, pool knowledge was harder to come by than it is today. And also, you have to take it in when you hear it. I guess i only picked up what interested me.
I'm likely to be bitching around about what I think used to be better "in the old days" (like the new ball and cloth colours) and I'm on a bit of a quest to find out more about cue dynamics.
Main focus: to have some fun here and learn, trying to iron out old flaws in my game and annoy some of the guys I usually can't beat.
Main flaws: Consistency, the urge to play the spectacular shot over the save one, trying the same thing although it's not working.
So let's go!
