Hi all,
Been lurking for a while. Grew up playing pool in Minnesota in my grandpa's basement. He was pretty good for the local scene. I got more serious in college and did pretty well in ACUI tournaments. Played more after college and the weekly tournaments and action keep my pockets lined. Gradually gave it up when my first kid was born in mid 2000s. Now getting back into it.
Was playing primarily with Schon - still have a few. Also played with Joss, Hubler, Pechauer (built one in '92), Dave Kikel (built one in '02), Meucci, Schuler (OG), Falcon, Dale Perry, and others. Been looking for a new cue now that I have more budget than a college guy. So the AZ boards have been great for researching Nitti, Danielson, Josey, Mordt, Gilbert, Carmeli, Jensen, Howard, and more.
Thanks to everyone who has posted, it's been very helpful. I can only imagine what my game would have been like 30 years ago with these types of resources available.
John
