    Solid vs layered tips

    Hard pressed Triangles for me. The guys that are fiddling with their tips all of the time are doing so because they are playing with layered tips. Hard pressed single layers, set em and forget em. Run a Williards over it every once in a while.

    Thoughts ... Russian Kenny is out of prision

    Sincerely sorry for your travails. Larger than life characters have been part of the pool world forever. Most pool players by far have different lives than that. 2 In the morning in a pool room looks a lot different than noon in a poolroom. Fact of life.

    Thoughts ... Russian Kenny is out of prision

    Nobody runs a better Calcutta than Kenny. He's always on stage. Hate Calcuttas myself. They draw the tournament out longer. Rather just have a pot.

    Thoughts ... Russian Kenny is out of prision

    There have been so many books written about guys like Kenny. Ask Jay Helfert or the Beard. Part of the lore. We eat it up but on a personal level people act differently, or the majority of us do.

    Thoughts ... Russian Kenny is out of prision

    Best ever at running a Calcutta. Always been pleasant to me. Calls me sir, believe it or not. I know a couple of guys that went on the road with him. Lots of stories. He's just a total alpha personality and extremely bright. I guess he sort of got carried away.

    Thoughts ... Russian Kenny is out of prision

    I've played Kenny a couple times in Tournaments, once in a finals match. I came up through the one loss side. I lost 7-3, nine ball. Nobody runs a Calcutta like Kenny. He has always been completely respectful with me. He's a very focused person and trust me, he's very smart. He's made bad...

    Custom Joint Protectors

    Yes, I know it's been covered before. I recently picked up a new custom from the Joss shop and I am looking for custom joint protectors for it. I had Jim Baxter make me a set for my last custom. I reached out to Jim on FB but no response. Who else makes nice custom joint protectors? TIA

    Show us your 3-cushion home table !

    Were the Kronos's that you played on heated? Curious. Not solid of a hit. Solid playing table. Played true, rails firm, granite smooth. I think the Kronos actually a heavier table than most carom tables. Of course my opinion only.

    Show us your 3-cushion home table !

    The first room you played in had Gabriels. We're they Kronos Gabriels? How about very solid? Does that make sense to you. The legs of a Gabriel's Kronos sit on granite blocks. Take a look at the picture again. The Kronos was unique. Some say those granite blocks were curling stones. Maybe.

    Show us your 3-cushion home table !

    Beautiful table. Looks like the Kronos model. Not many of them here in the states from what I understand. A room that closed down around here about 5 years ago had a heated Kronos. Loved that table. Played very heavy, solid.
