Are their any top pro's from Long Island, NY? I never hear of any. Maybe it's too damn exspenive to live there. Johnnyt
 
Joey Korsiak (better known as Joey K), who finished 13th in the 2005 BCA Pro event, is from Long Island.

Though he hasn't lived there for a decade, straight pool dynamo and distinguished AZB member Steve Lipsky is originally from Long Island.

The last time I was in Long Island, I hooked up with these two pros, I think they were Bunny and Misty :p :p

After a second look that one on the right does look a bit manish:eek:

Sorry for hijacking your thread Johnny.

Remember running into Joey K at the tournaments at Leisure Time on LI back in the late nineties, also remember running into John Schmidt several times there. Watched John S. play (lose) Ginky at an open nine ball event there during the same time frame, even though he didn't win the tournament his superior talent was obvious.

Hey Vagabond,

You are thinking of Scott Nacovsky and his father Jerry. Scottie was one of the most naturally gifted players I'd ever seen. He was the very rare player capable of not shooting for weeks and being in stroke within an hour.

Admittedly, my framework of interpreting his game was not ideal - the last time I saw him play, I was nowhere near the player I am today. How strong of a player he really was, therefore, is somewhat of a question in my mind. Even so, I'd still have to say that if he ever devoted himself to the game, he'd have been a real threat to be a top 20 player.

His father Jerry was one of my early straight pool influences. Jerry was probably the first player I'd ever seen run a hundred balls live. Even though we butted heads from time to time, I'll never forget all the time we spent gambling cheap with each other.

Leisure Time in the mid-90s was a great place to be. Lots of action, lots of characters. I'll never forget it.

- Steve
