First of all. let me just say the forums on this website is awesome.
A little about myself.
My log in name, Marie's Husband! I have that name because my wife is always being greeted as "so your Paul's Wife" every time we are in a pool establishment and she always gives me a hard time about it. I figured that she would enjoy the log in name so that is why its what it is.
I am in the Navy and have been stationed for the past 18 years at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station (2 hours north of Seattle). Great location for the outdoorsy type person, but as for pool, the closest 9 foot table is an hour and a half away so nothing but 4X8 bar boxes to play on.
As for what type of games I like, 9 ball would be first, one pocket, then 8 ball. What is my speed? "Inconsistant" would be the best way to describe it. I'm constantly on the ship (in 2007, gone for 6 months", in 2008 gone for 9 months), so too much time away to be able keep up with my game. So to give you an actual speed that I think everyone can compare me with, in October 2008 I was lucky enough to go to Norfolk Virginia for a week in which as soon as I was off work I would go to Q-Masters and they rated me the same as Chris Furtrell "A++" for there Saturday tournament and I actually came in third (not too bad since it was the first time in well over a year playing on a 9 foot table, let alone a Diamond). So is that an accurate rating? I don't know because I have never been rated before that occasion.
Type of cue? I have been playing with a Paul Allers custom cue for about five years now. Before that it was a Joss, had it stolen out of my car one night and showed up to tournament without a cue, so Paul Allers(the great guy that he is) gave me one of his to keep and I have been beating balls with it ever since. I would have to thank the person who stole my Joss because I have never been so happy with a cue before.
One last thing, I have been an AZ forum reader since the beginning of 2008, but seeing how the ship's internet will not allow posting I was not able to become a member.
Thank You AZ'ers for keeping the pool knowledge flowing.
