Austin is now a sponsored pool player with Pechauer Cues, and took first place in the 2015 Wisconsin Junior 9-Ball State Championship (sponsored by Jacoby Custom Cues) in Nekoosa, WI. There, he qualified for a spot in the BEF junior nationals tournament being held August 4-7 in Las Vegas, NV.
Recently, Austin has taken an interest in cue maintenance and repair (such as tip replacement, shaft refurbishing, and installing new wraps.) Someday he hopes to become a custom cue maker, and looks forward to becoming a professional pool player and making his business grow.
One pocket is Austin’s favorite game, and he likes to play on diamond pool tables while using a Pechauer cue.
Austin plans on representing the state of Wisconsin at junior nationals and is working very hard to gather the money to go.
Due to winning the 15-18 age division at the 2015 junior 9-Ball state championship, Austin will receive a $250.00 travel fund from Jacoby Custom Cues and the Wisconsin Artistic Pool Player Association.
If you are ever in the Fox Valley area and are looking for a game or someone to repair your cue, you might want to give Austin Hill a chance.
