Hi Fellow Enthusiasts!
Just joined the forum recently and thought I'd introduce myself. Been playing this amazing game for 35 years and won't ever get bored with it! I'm a maple using lefty who of course is right handed when using the rest,seems to be a few about! Spent years in my local Lancashire and also Yorkshire leagues,starting on the big tables then unfortunately getting handicapped out of them,giving up to 60 start is outrageous in my eyes! Small table leagues seem to have a fairer system,ie maximum start is 30! I play for a East Lancashire squad when we take on The Fylde Coast in The Gascon Trophy(a charity event). I class myself really as a great squad member because I always seem to win the merit award for games won.I have won numerous individual titles but nothing better than helping a team to the league title. My highest competition break is 115. My highest break is a 142 on a big table and also a 142 on the small table. I have had over 50 centuries in total. Anyway that's about it really. I have had a few operations just lately that have almost put me out of the game. I am just hoping things will settle down soon so I can get back to normal.Fingers crossed.
I do also have about 15 old cues that I have picked over the years,plus numerous nice cases. You can't beat a nice piece of wood,especially when its been made into a cue! My cue I use might be a shock to some,its an old machine spliced Peradon maple! Its a lovely cue to play with! I love it. Anyway I think that's about it really.Hope to be of use to the forum.................Chris
