Thoughts ... Russian Kenny is out of prision

Funny to watch this thread debate Russian Kenny. When it comes to pool and action—not tournaments—most players have a little larceny in them. If you take a trip to the SBE or Derby, everyone’s looking for a lock when money’s on the line. Is that stealing? Maybe. Is that hustling? Not really. The true hustler days are gone, wiped out by the internet and social media.

I'd rather lift someone up than kick 'em when they're down. I've never been to prison, but I can't imagine what that experience does to a person's mental well-being. I'm hoping the kid finds a way to enjoy his life.

Kid? Didn't he say he's in his 40's? Maybe I misheard. An any rate, in my experience a leopard doesn't change its stripes. From the sounds of it, the drug bust wasn't an isolated fall from grace; just the first time he was caught doing something criminal. Based on what I've read here, it seems like this dude was shaping up to be a career criminal. Will prison reform him? Not likely. He's up against 10-5 and the breaks, stepping right back into the world and people that got him there. Like Ice Cube said in Friday, "Peer pressure is a mother fucker." This won't be the last we hear of him. Someone will revive this thread down the line with news of his unfortunate incarceration.

Solid vs layered tips

M
I’ve got a tiger sniper. Been on my cue for over 2 years and I had never had to do anything with it. Guys I play with have gone through 2 or 3 tips in that time. Mine still has loads left and I probably play more often than the other guys. What does this mean?
Are the others grinding their tips down somehow or am I very gentle with it. I chalk after every shot but don’t grind it!

Great Pool Room Stories

Thanks for the great story Jay , I knew both Lance and Billy Saunders they both hung out at the Broadwater Corner Pocket's or the one in the Heights . Paul Schmito ( question on the spelling ) would also hang out at the Empire Cafe on Montana Ave also in Billings what I can only guess would be a ring game as I never went into the Empire but I knew people who would for breakfast after working a graveyard shift .

I've lost track of Lance and sadly Billy passed away maybe Lance has too I'm not sure but I still have my Billybushka sneaky Pete that Billy was famous for making which was a Dufferin bar cue he'd add 6" to the butt section to and talk about a fun cue to play with .
To the best of my knowledge this was before or about the same time Earl Strickland started using a longer cue ?

The last I heard about Lance was that he lived in Iowa I'd enjoy catching up with him just for old times sake .

George Frank and Corner Pockets were one of the sponsors of the Caesars Tahoe Billiard Classic and they had the Corner Pockets logo embossed into the cloth used on the table used for the ESPN matches. Problem was the one ball and the nine ball could get lost when viewed from the overhead camera. I hated that overhead camera view anyway, and still do.

Custom and High End Cues on the Decline?

that's another one that's insane. shaft costing more than the total cue.

At the end of the day, its what your comfortable with. (Playing and paying)
We all know its complete rubbish, it doesn't take much, to play very well with any cue. You spend enough time with it. I have spent thousands,and then only 300 or so. Your 600 is more than enough.if it works for you, thats all that matters🙂

Predator cue question

M
I have a 13 yrs old roadline sneaky 6pgnw + 314*2 and it is a great player. Bought it for 600$ with an extra Z2 shaft way back in 2012
True splice maple/maple.
I ve been playing with my 90s schon lately and i have to admit its a better cue. That rock hard maple shaft is excellent. its not LD, but i get an excellent feedback.
