I have been playing pool for about 30 years once a week with friends. I played since 2012 with a beautiful Meucci cue. I am now retired and have been shooting about 1 hour a day and decided to get serious watching videos etc. I have recently purchased 2 Pechauers and a Cuetec Cynergy in C fiber. I know it is the Indian not the arrow but I love beautiful cues and enjoy finding just the right one. I am in Concord NC and like reading AZBilliards.

That's a sharp Predator SP. I have one just like it i got 15ish years ago.Good afternoon all.
Eddie here, from Eastern North Carolina. Originally from Puerto Rico, but stayed in CONUS once I retired from the Marines. Just finished my career in Navy Aviation.
I have been playing for around 25 years. I was considered to be a fairly accomplished player back home, especially in my late teens, at least on my general area, an played plenty of tournaments back home; just 8 ball with either bar rules or BCA rules. Usually ended up winning or in the semi finals. My self evaluation of how well I played had a quick reality check when I moved stateside, especially with the 9" tables (not the norm back home and hard to find there) and the strong competition in 9 ball that is predominant here. I did attend tournaments here, several runner ups, third and fourth places, and somehow I jokingly acquired the nickname "Fast Eddie"; I guess I walked right into that one when I started hanging around the local pool hall and making friends there; of your name is Eddie, the "fast" part will be added quickly. But, I am nearly not as good as I was in my late teens on a bar box playing 8 ball. Now I am just an occasional player at the county recreational center due to some unfortunate circumstances; I do not think I will ever be an accomplished or top regional player again. I never wanted to be a pro, just a good overall player capable of break and runs. My other loves are Chess and competition shooting.
I will share my story with pool later on, as I have not shared it with many folks before. Looking forward to some interactions here as well as showing off some equipment.
I believe this is the only picture I have of me playing pool, circa 2011 on an overseas forward operating base.
This is my nice "I feel confident and playing good" getup:

Then, this is my "I want to be unnoticed and do not pay attention to my crappy playing" getup:

Last, a recently bought Schmelke 4 point rosewood cue with a few custom touches and a Kielwood shaft that actually plays well and was a good value for the buck.
Glad to be here!
Respectfully;
Heriberto "Eddie" Colonlopez

Hello Everyone, Quick intro. I'm Cobey I've been playing pool for roughly 30 years. Started by seeking into the teen center when I was 11 and taught myself to play on their two 9 foot Brunswicks. By 15, I was playing in tournaments with adults, probably the only competitor whose mom dropped him off at the pool hall.
In college I was the president of the billiards club and I've played in APA leagues around the US.
I've always loved billiards as a sport, the people, the physics, and the competition.

Hello Everyone,
I'm in So Cal. Started playing pool/billiards in the early 80s in No Cal. Moved to So Cal for job and stopped playing due to family's commitments in the late 90s. Now, I would like to get back to playing again. I've been checking info on this site for a few weeks now to familiar myself again with what going on and would like to formally introduce myself. Thanks Ba Vu.

Hi everyone. I'm very new to pool, having started shortly before my 44th birthday, a bit over a year ago. Terrible at it, but really enjoy it. My strategy gaming background is primarily in chess, where I'm...ok (~2000 FIDE). I live in Hoboken (across the Hudson from Manhattan) and mostly play at Play! Hoboken, although living in NYC metro area is a cue sports lover's paradise and there are tons of great pool (and snooker, and even pyramid) halls to choose from here.
My current goal is to run 15 any order. I've come close but haven't quite managed it yet.
After that my goal will be to cleanly complete the corner drill with 9 balls on a 9ft table.
Cheers,
wly / Ilya / Bobby (any are fine)
