Hello I’m Victoria. I started playing pool at the age of 10 and immediately loved this game. For me, pool is a very intellectual game that requires extreme concentration and at the same time an emotional one. At this time, I am not only a player, but also a professional referee of pool tournaments. It is an honor for me to be a member of the Pechauer team.

I’m the European Champion in team division (2018), Two-time champion of Russia among girls under 18 (2017, 2018), Two-time champion of Moscow among girls under 18 (2017, 2018), Multiple medalist of Moscow and Russian Women Championships (2014-2018), Multiple medalist of the Moscow and Russian Girls U-18 Championships (2013-2018), Winner of the Mezz Baltic Pool League superfinal (2019).

Alexandra Dzuskaeva is a junior Russian player.  She is trained by her coaches Konstantin Stepanov and Andrey Seroshtan. Alexandra is a member of the junior team of Moscow, Russia. She is also a prize-winner for the Moscow Championship and the Moscow Girls’ Open Cup.  On top of this, she is the winner of the children’s tournament “Next”.

I started competing in many tournaments at age 14 while playing in my local TAP league. I played in two Junior National Events finishing 4th and 2nd. With my second place finish I was asked to compete in Junior Worlds which was an unforgettable experience. I also attended the Amway Cup in Taipei Taiwan. This was by far one of the best tournaments I have ever played in. I’ve won the Junior State Championships in NY, MA and NJ.

I am 8 years old. My grandfather bought me my first cue at the age of two. My first big tournament win was the 2018 New Mexico State BEF Junior National Qualifier at age 7. That same year I took 5th place in the 12 and under division at the BEF Junior Nationals in New Orleans. I also placed second in the scotch doubles event at the VNEA Jr. Nationals in Sioux City, Nebraska. Pool has allowed me to see new places and make new friends.

One of my proudest moments is when I beat Dave Pearson in a game of 9 ball. I am working on improving my game so that someday I can compete at the highest level.

In addition to pool I like football and wrestling. Someday I want to join the Airforce and become a police officer like my mother and stepfather

I started playing pool in 2014 when I discovered that there was a youth league only ten minutes from my home in Harvard, Massachusetts. There, I learned to play with the coaching of Roy Pastor, who taught me everything that I know about playing. Ever since then, it has become such an significant part of my life and has given me so many opportunities that I never would have had before. I got my first Pechauer cue in 2016 and I have continued to use them ever since. They’re a huge step up from the single cue that I started out with and have helped me improve my playing greatly. Other than playing pool, I enjoy rowing, playing the piano, and baking.

Hi, my name is César and I’m from Portugal.

I started playing pool when I was very young and I love this game. You have to be very strong technically, mentally and tactically. I’m always trying to learn more to know more and to be a better player.

I’m very proud to be on Team Pechauer!

Hi I’m Konstantin. I’m started playing when I was 10 years old. At 15, I became the first Russian Champion among adults.  I took part in international pool competitions for the first time at 16 – it was the Junior European Championship. I played in the final of the Straight Pool tournament and took silver. After that, I started to travel around the world and take part in all major tournaments. The greatest victories, the most important for me personally, were the victory at the European Championship in 2010 and two wins at the Euro Tours in 2013. The most vivid impression in my billiard career was the victory in the Mosconi Cup against the legendary team of the USA. I’ve been the champion of Russia more than 25 times. I myself trained without a coach, at various stages taking part in the training camp, which was arranged by the leading European coaches at that time. Among them were Jørgen Sandman and Johan Ruijsink. Now I am actively engaged in coaching activities.

Hello! My name is Janet Atwell and I am a pro pool player from Virginia. I started playing pool after I graduated college. In 1999, I played my first female competition on the SEAL tour (Southeast Amateur Ladies Tour). I won multiple SEAL tour events and championships. I have also won multiple regional and state championships, including VA, NC, SC, OK, etc. In 1999, I won my first WPBA qualifier. I was welcomed to the scene with an ESPN interview and have been hooked on pool ever since. I turned pro in 2004 and have been playing WPBA full time. In 2006, I renovated an old 1929 Kress Building in downtown Bristol, TN, and opened Borderline Billiards. In 2013, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Just this year, I’ve reached my five-year milestone of being cancer free! After my fight with cancer, I went back to hospice dedicating my time to helping those who weren’t as blessed. So in addition to being a professional pool player, I am a pool room owner, a TAP league operator, and now a full-time RN/Administrator of Elite Hospice.

I am 21 years old and I am a semi professional pool player @ The Mad Apple Burger and Billiard Co.

I have a list of many accomplishments

Here are a few ..

U22 Junior National 10 Ball Champion

I picked up a cue for the first time when I met my husband. From there on out, I was hooked! I was rarely seen without a pool table beside me. Not long after, I won my first national championship. Now, I’m a multiple time German Champion and I was also nominated for the 2020 European Championship.

I have placed in German Championships every year since 2008, winning numerous titles and medals. In 2019, I was given an award in my city for Player of the Year. I have also been named one of the most successful female players in Germany.

Joining Team Pechauer is the best possible way to end the year for me! It’s been a crazy, wonderful experience.

I started playing pool when I was 7 years old. I made a big “Wow” when I was able to make the cue ball draw back for the first time. That’s when I fell in love with the game!

I started shooting in the BCA league when I was 8.  At age 10, I took first place at the 2018 BEF Junior National 9-ball Championships 11 & under division. That same year, I took 2nd place at the 2018 BCAPL World Junior 8-Ball Championships.

It’s a great honor to join the prestigious Pechauer Team.

In 2021, I got 2nd place in 14&under division and 5-6th in 16&under division of BEF national 9 ball championships which qualified me representing Team USA competing in the WPA world junior 9-ball championships at Austria. I finished with 9-12th in the world as one of the youngest kid in the tournament.

Hayleigh was born in Bristol, VA. When Hayleigh was 8 years old, she had the opportunity to go with her father, Jamie Marion, to visit Borderline Billiards in Bristol, Tennessee. There, Hayleigh met WPBA Women’s Professional Janet Atwell.  That night was the first time Hayleigh had ever picked up a pool cue. And she has not put it down since. After playing Janet, Hayleigh had been bitten by the “bug”. At the Philadelphia Expo in 2018, Hayleigh finished 8^th and caught the attention of Pechauer Cues and was added to the Pechauer Team.  Hayleigh reached the Number 2 spot in the Nation as an 11-under female in the BEF Junior Nationals in 2018. More recently, she won her first belt as the March 2019 Steakhorse Women’s Division winner in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Hayleigh is a member of the TAP league at Borderline Billiards and she is also able to maintain her grades and stays on the Honor roll at Virginia Middle School.

“Allison was just seven years old when she first picked up a cue. Besides her gifted physical prowess, her successful athletic endeavors as a student were an early indication of an indomitable spirit, her will to win. And it was snooker that captured her heart and imagination above all other sports.  With that same indomitable spirit that launched her into the world’s #1 snooker player, she did what most twenty-somethings would find beyond intimidating: At 27, she uprooted herself from her family, her city and her country, and traveled alone, across the Atlantic, to begin learning a new game. In 2009 she was awarded the greatest honor that can be bestowed on a player, induction into the Greatest Player category of the Billiard Congress of America (BCA) Hall of Fame.” Shari Stauch, Pool & Billiard Magazine

In recent years, he has struggled with severe health problems; these problems temporarily prevented him from playing the game he loves. Now that he is recovering and in good health, he’s excited to get back in the game and compete on both national and international levels.

Nick “The Sniper” Fiore has had a fascination with pool since he was a toddler. He received his first custom Pechauer cue when he was three and still has it in his extensive Pechauer cue collection. Nick made his debut at the 2016 SBE when he beat pro player Emily Duddy in an exhibition match, he would later beat Hunter Lombardo in the same style match. That same year, he placed third in the SBE 12 and under nine ball tournament.  Thanks to Pechauer cues for all the great equipment!

I’ve been fascinated with pool ever since I was 12 years old. After several years of intense training (four to six hours a day), my hard work paid off.  I played
in both the “Jugendlandeskader” of Vorarlberg the Austrian “Jugendnationalkader”.

I took time off to focus on my academic and professional career when I was 18, but I recently rekindled my love for the sport in 2017. Some of my successes include:

• BSC Ambiente Bregenz
• PPC Rankweil (Austria)
• PBC Sonthofen (Germany)
• Break-Tour several Medals
• Vorarlberg State Championship: several Medals
• Ranked Top 100 at the EPBF Ranking

April Larson started playing pool seriously when she was about 9 years old.  At just 10 while playing league, her director June Maiers recommended she compete in the BEF Junior National Championships.  After she attended her first ever BEF National Championships; she placed 2nd. Unbeknownst to her, she would next go on to become the repeat Junior Champion for the next five years, attend the World Junior Championships twice and participate in the Super Billiards Expo in the Open Women’s Professional Division.

April’s family is a huge part of her life and declared, “without them, I would be nowhere”. She might not have picked up a pool cue if it weren’t for their encouragement. April started playing on her family’s pool team. April has 100% support from her family, who travel across the country with her. “I don’t know many other pool players who can say their entire extended family travels with them to pool tournaments. I wouldn’t change it for the world, and I thank them and love them to the moon and back”.

I started playing pool at the age of 8 to try and beat my idol (my brother). I finally surpassed him at the age of 17. I got into the tournament scene at the age of 21. Without the aid of lessons, it took me a while to grow my game.  Now at the age of 41, I’m a Wisconsin Master Player after winning the AA state title in 2019.
