Tommy Kennedy Plays in Tony Crosby Tournament in Ocala, Florida. December 09 2014, 0 Comments
The great Tommy Kennedy was in town to play in the Tony Crosby Tournament held at Boulevard Billiards in Ocala, Florida on November 22-23. I met Tommy way back in the 80's when my late friend and master cue maker Wayne Gunn had his shop in Baker's Pool Hall in Tampa, Florida. I haven't seen him since until the tournament. We talked about old times and pool and my new ferrules and cues. I was very excited when he agreed to hit some balls and put them to the test. He tried several with different tips and weights. Long story short, he was very pleased with how they performed. Good solid hit, good feel and very positive feedback. He was impressed and so was I.
I also asked Tony Crosby to hit some balls and he also graciously accepted. I said "please don't baby them. I want to know they can stand up to professional standards." Wow, did he put on a show. Spectators gathered when he tested them. Hard shots, masse shots, english shots, hard draw shots. Cues worked as advertised. I'm proud to say he was impressed and he said this is a great new product. He gave me permission to use his name in approval.
Here's a few photos of Tommy Kennedy trying out some Snapshot® Cue Sticks. Yup, that's me next to Tommy Kennedy.
