been a while since i haven't posted here anymore. Due to some stuff, i had less time to invest in pool and forums in general. i almost completly stopped with pool, but i'm having more time now (due tue ilness, im at home for at least a year and to much time) and i've been trying to slowly kick my game up a notch, trying to play at least 1h-2h daily. been practicing now for 4 months and i'm back at my top level, but still alot of room to improve. in fact , i always had a bad technique (never tought how to play correctly) so i used the 3 years off , and the muscle memories who started to fade, to brake my game down and rebuild it from the start with good basic techniques. it was a strugle, but its slowly comming.
Anyway what's up in here. no idea if people still remember me
some questions:
1/ are there any new/old collectors of european cue's i need to know of.
2/ does anyone know who is the current owner of this cue? i remember it has changed owner here on azb several times, but at that time i was a young pool bastard and it was way out of my league. it has been my dream cue ever since. if anyone knows the owner, i'd be glad to get his email or nickname here , so maybe we can discuss something if he ever wishes to sell it.
its a fancy TS cue.
i haven't been trading or buying alot since the crisis. there wasn't alot to be bought, not many good deals to be done, so i stopped collecting since then. now that i have some time, i'm finally going trough the collection and taking good pictures, looking up background, making files for each item, etc so i know what i have and i'll be probably selling some pieces when the time is right . i do feel its slowly starting to get back alive. ive been folowing some antiques on ebay and its slowly picking up. i might start trading/collecting again
the only things i kept on searching during my break are JM brunswick tokens to finish that collection. im ALMOST done. i miss 1 token . they are all stored, sealed, and displayed in a custom box i have someone build for them. that least token though.... i could be in for a long wait. haven't seen one in over 6 years i might never finish this collection, but thats all the fun.
here's a picture of a peace of my collection i personally love. not the oldes or most expensive, but i just find it a beauty. a paire of custom ordered silver chalk holders from the late 1800's
I also move from my rented hous to a one i bought. my poolroom was the first room done , even before the bathroom and the kitchen priority's !!
here's a picture with my custom 9ft pro diamond
I stopped playing all sorts of tournaments, but i always kept on playing two.
one local tournament, that just has the most friendly atmoshere ever in the french part of belgium. its always easy going, but still some good competition.
the other tournament is the national team events with my team. we've been a team for 6 years or something now. we've played for 4 different poolhalls (3 of them close down tue to bad economics :s). not sure if old players still remember, but i play with the khodjaev family. Kamila was world champion with the girls, but she lost vs a new strong chinese player this year and got 2d in the WC of this year. she's a BEAST !! man i've seen her do things and see shots that hurts my brain she also got a contract with longoni and is now together with niels feyen, serge das , part of the big family. i predict greath things for her !
her sister also got some top3 finishes in the european championship and, i'm sure she'll be european champion and maybe WC before she turns 18. then there's there father and me. i'm the underdog. in our state we are a top team and nationally we are in the top5.
here's a pic of a tournament where we picked 1,2 and 3th place
Myself, i'm not a big player. i won some local tournaments, and i can run a rack or two, maybe more on a good day, but thats it. pool is a hobby, that i play once a weak. i can't expect to win big tournaments without puting in the hours, but i enjoy myself and thats the most important. i' m managing to win enough money so all my expenses are payed, enjoy company of a super good team, watch a world champion play and play against her, help the family with legal stuff, paperwork, with anything.
Well thats some news about me , after 4 years of silence
i wrote it here, instead of answering old pm's.
i hope to become more active again and maybe make some new friends to do some business with.
peace !
