hi folks,
my name is Tom, i live in the very western part of Germany close to Düsseldorf and play snooker since the early 1980's when it was brought to us by television. I am a lazy butt and hardly ever practise but have fun with the game without much serious ambitions. My best break is a 89 long ago, that's why i cannot consider myself a player yet, i never made a century. Still proud of it, it was in a local tournament, 12 reds and 11 blacks with the maximum still on, kind of a magic moment to me. My heroes in the game are the usual suspects: Jimmy White, Alex Higgins and later Ronnie O'Sullivan, but i also like the style and grace of Walter Lindrum who i discovered on an old VHS tapes in the 1990's playing some trick shots and explaining English Billiards.
My favourite cue makers are Will Hunt and Robert Osborne, I bought one of those magic is Hunt & O'Byrne black plates back in 1985 and still play it. I also have one of Robert's cues for spare as well but only play it occasionally when i am too lazy to change the tip of my regular cue. Robert also made me a fabolous new butt (1 inch longer) for my old stick, which helped my game a little and made the cue even better.
I am looking forward to meet you here and discuss the game, players, cues and all other things snooker.
Cheers, Tom.
