I used to play a lot of foos in the local bars and colleges age 18-30. I carried a bag with a bowler's rosin bag, small can of Pledge, cloth to clean the rods, gloves to wear when playing the wooden octagonal handles on the green top tables. Over the years I collected a lot of broken foosball "men".

I have a wicked toe shot, I learned back in the 70s. I started replaying in the 90s when I went through my drunk days. I started going to the weekly tournaments in 2015.

If I get in the zone, I'm fucking unstoppable at front. Def leopard is what my buddy used to play to crank us both up. He was pretty good at playing back men, but he vxed away.

I got to #67 in my state, now it's just another thing on the life's resume.

Edit, chap stick for cleaning the bar table rails

Good times! Intense game. I had a blistering pivot/toe angle shot and good push-pull shots from the 3-man, a good 5-man but others were better at pull-push passing along the 5-man and killer snap shots. I was strongest playing the back position. #67 is great! Being in the top 100 is serious shit. I had a friend that played front better than me, extraordinary reflexes, we often teamed up and cleaned house. His 5-man was deadly and his 3-man seemed to have more luck than he deserved. Everybody has their own style.

I played pretty regularly late 1970s through mid 1990s. What an intense game. I'd be covered in sweat after a few games.
