Hopefully he's learned the "cost of doing bad business," even for what he perceived as the "right" reasons. He's been given a second chance to choose a "different" path. With any luck, and a little "wisdom," he will truly view his life/options through a different lens.
Don't know him personally, but I wish him luck on the journey. Time will tell. If he's learned anything, he will fade the noise, and let his actions do the talking...

Felony conviction selling heroin and fentanyl doesn't equal "fading the noise" or doing what you have to do to feed your kids.

their snooker cues are well regarded, but never heard of anyone using their pool cues. kind of like longoni

The video with their president Nick earlier in this thread, I just rewatched it. He mentioned they plan to offer a drop pocket version in the future.

ICATS is significantly more expensive. Is the interface easier to use to build drills with, and is the content of existing drills superior to PPB?

The UX is clunky on the PPB, but it works once you get used to it. Its a 1 man programmer doing it, so don't expect Apple iOS level UX

If you go to the PPB Users Group on Facebook, a few comments there on how hard it is to contact PPB. It appears that PPB is understaffed and less reliable than ICATS and this helps explain ICATS' greater cost. See https://www.facebook.com/groups/4041398496120790

Mine is a SPJLW: Sneaky Pete/Jointed/Linen Wrap. I call it the "Green Hornet" due to its green veneers. I bought it new because of the shaft and learned to love the butt. It was my shooter for many years. Great cue and great value in my book.

I have PPB and it works great. It is integrated with Poolbilliards.co drills, which is what I use it for primarily. This combo gives you hundreds of skill level dependent options. You click a drill on your phone and it auto-populates to the table. It's pretty slick. There is also a ton of native drill content, include from Dr. Dave and Bob Jewett. The ability to set up drill after drill in real-time is nice, as was as being able to replicate ball placement with precision.

As a tool for practice, it works as intended. The reality is that you get out of it what you put into it. If you want to improve, it can definitely help. If you are faking that you want to get better and aren't wiling to invest the time, PPB is no better than any other training aid.

I have not tried ICATS, but it looks decent. But, like I said, any tool is only as good as the student's desire to get better.
