Beyond the Glory: The Story of Ron Hamilton's Hair at Major Tournaments

Ron Hamilton, otherwise known as Mike Pop's partner, is a beast when it comes to the skills required to lob a ping pong ball into a cylindrical liquid holding object approximately 8 feet away. He's a trained assassin on the table. His legend goes far beyond his playing skills to include the following list:
- Drinks a fifth of Jack before major tournaments
- Is the world's first professional beer pong player
- Referred to himself in the third person whilst assaulting a potential cash game thief ("No One Takes Ron Hamilton's Money!")
- Is banned from playing in some bars
- Is arguably the 2nd craziest Ron in professional sports (#1)
- Can be confused for a 12 year-old girl on internet forums (lol)
- Devours Cinammon Life by the box

Almost making the game unfair, he goes on tirades behind the table, increasing the difficulty for opponents to concentrate. All the aforementioned intriguing qualities aside, the advantage tips even further towards Smashing Time's way on the big stage, when you look at the power behind Ron's hair.

WSOBP III - JANUARY 2008


At WSOBP III, Ron prepared for day III by shaving a standard mohawk. After demolishing teams in the prelims, securing the #1 overall seed and a 12-0 record, Smashing Time was not quite ready for the tournament, losing in the first round. They proceeded to knock out two straight SCBP teams, take down another team in 4 OT [video], and make it all the way back to 5th place. In an important side note, Ron's voracious appetite not only caused opponents' knees to shake, he also made cotton his bitch. Notice how his shirt did not survive the afternoon.
WSOBP IV - JANUARY 2009


WSOBP IV brought lights and cameras, and a bushier canvas for Ron's creative juices. Instead of a typical mohawk, he went with a full unkempt horse mane, with no styling needed to achieve the desired result: striking fear. Judging from their $50,000 check, it's tough to debate this style's effectiveness.
ATLANTIC CITY - JUNE 2009


As defending WSOBP champs, Smashing Time had all the pressure in the world. Everyone in the NY/NJ area knew who would be the team to beat. For the final day, Ron livened up the mohawk look with a more menacing 3-striped approach, almost embracing the Michigan Wolverines football helmet style. His intimidating hair no doubt proved to be the reason they walked away with the $25,000 check.
THE SCBP OPEN - SEPTEMBER 2009


Coming into the SCBP Open [recap], and looking for the trifecta of 2009 major beer pong championships, Ron played day 1 with a blank canvas of fuzzy growth. At the end of day 1, Pop said that Ron would for sure be breaking out the clippers. He expanded the AC three-stripe look to four, but put questionable notches in the side stripes which looked like the effects of either alopecia, or some sort of head fungus. Smashing Time's luck would run out in the final tournament against Midwest powerhouse- Since Sliced Bread.
WSOBP V - JANUARY 2010


With a bun in the oven back home, Ron was intent on picking up that $25,000 check. In designing his hair for this particular tournament, he was also seemingly intent on making sure that no girl would ever want to procreate with him ever again. That would be except for Laura, who took a picture with Ron, and has already named their projected offspring as WSOBP champ in 2031.
