Hi there from the Netherlands
Hello fellow pool addicts,
Long time lurker, first time poster from Holland here. I was hoping to be able to post a bit sooner, but for some reason I had to wait a while to have my posting privileges granted.
Anyway, I've been playing this beautiful game for going-on-twenty years now, out of which the first 15 were of the 'ballbangin'-variety. Only the last few years I've been studying the technical side and the mechanics of the game, so I'm a bit reluctant to actually boast my twenty years experience. I'm a modest guy anyway so I wouldn't be doing a lot of boastin'.
I absolutely love training on my own now that I have this new-found technical insight of the game. I love doing drills and running racks of straight pool for hours a few times a week, I also play some friends at the club (preferably the ones that are better than me or at least give me a good challenge) and I am captain of a competition team (like APA I guess, allthough competition in Holland is organized in a different way). I tend to struggle a bit with the mental side of the game sometimes - to be honest, I get down on myself sometimes and I tend to be way too hard on myself. Tryin' to work on that too!
So what else... I'm playing with a Predator P3, but have ordered an Exceed (been waiting for almost a year for delivery, expect to receive it end of this year... should still be worth it though)
Guess that's it for now. Feel free to ask if you wanna know more! I expect to post regularly, so maybe we'll meet!
