Awesome find, JAM.
I have heard that someone made a video of him when he was in Florida, presumably when he was in stroke. I hope it surfaces.

Thats the guy he did shoot spot to spot. His name was Kenny "Spot shot Kenny" Kiddy. I am certain he is dead now. All he did was slow roll the balls in one after another. When he would practice he would usually get someone to spot the balls for him. My wife would often do it for him and it was nothing for him to make 100 to 300 on average between misses.
From another thread about spot shots in 2014:
Very cool. I have a way to contact his girlfriend. She would love to see this case, as would Kenny, I'm sure. They are collecting his pool memories now. He's 81.
I'm pretty sure it was Pool & Billiard. I'll go check now that it's narrowed down a little.JAM, I remember reading a short article in probably 87 or 88 in one of the pool mags. Think it was 1150 or 1250 in a row. Can you ask her which magazine and issue month and year please? Thanks Joe
ps, speaking of records, what was your best WPM? I think in HS I could crank out about 34 WPM with only 3-4 errors.

I looked through three years of P&B without success. I also looked through some NBNs. I do remember seeing a print article, but "after 1987 in some billiard magazine" leaves a lot of possibilities.I'm pretty sure it was Pool & Billiard. I'll go check now that it's narrowed down a little....

Interesting that on the shot she missed she stood up and took her time before shooting, and then slow rolled the ball. Or is that just the camera speed? Anyway, she is barred from my bet!
Ah, to be 12 years old and fearless!
