Got these a few years ago — they are the nuts for playing pool.

Went from 400 vision and needing contacts to 20/20 in my right and 20/25 in my left. I think they cost me $2K extra per eyeball but totally worth it.

BTW, it also matters who your surgeon is. From what has happened to friends, if you go to a mill, your results are a crap shoot.

I got distance lenses installed, my far vision is now 20/20. The lenses definitely helped intermediate distance also, from about 3 feet out. My near vision I need glasses to read.

My wife is getting J and J PureSee lenses. We’ll see how that works at $2500 per eye.

Is your 20/20 for near or far?

When I first started playing pool, everywhere I played had drop pockets. It was just what I was used to.

Then I started playing on Diamonds that were all ball return - which seemed odd at first but now I prefer.

Now on those rare occasions I play drop pockets I have to remind myself to help the racker get the balls - first rack I’m probably sitting there like a dummy as they walk around and clear all the pockets!

Anyone remember 7 ball? The local hall has a group that started playing that and it's a nice, fast paced game and I forgot how much fun it is after the break figuring out which side is yours so you can plan your game around it.

Big win for Johnny. He finally showed up ready to play. The Chinese kid simply outplayed Kaci. He looked good doing it.

Def no player auction for a weekly. Who wants to sit around all night waiting for that to finish?!
Side pot is fine, and doesn't add time.
Break and Run pot is always fun and attracts/keeps players.

lol know whats funny? I was talking to one of the top regional players the other day and he told me he would see no reason to ever play in a weekly tournament unless it had an auction. When I mentioned the BnR he just scoffed and said that he will never understand what the appeal of BnRs are.

Then I remembered I'm talking to a guy who is a weekend warrior and gambler. His opinions are one I do not favor much just because of the different mindset vs players who do this to get out of the house for a night.

No pockets. Crisis averted.

Then there’s those that while not needing more than this to stay in stroke, grind continuously. How many times did you go to bed at your place and Dennis was hitting balls, then woke up the next day to find him yet again at the table hitting balls?

Dennis felt like he always needed to improve his game to stay on top.

I bet my coworker was wondering why I was trying to work today.
