How 'bout, "Don't dog it nit or your walkin home". Pretty inspirational don't you think???

Like: "Shoot hard and sleep in the street." Less effective since fewer players are playing for their room rent these days.

Curious were you not happy with the frame/fit, or the lens, or both?

Everything. The upside down lens, the position of the piece that holds the 2 lens together was in the field of vision..was distracting. Visually they needed to be reset or adjusted...Could not play pool with them.
The price...over sold and I bit. Do I want extra thin, extra lightweight, scratch coating, transitional? $900 when complete. Had high expectations... Was expecting a nice picture. These were not my first pair of pool glasses...thought I try him as many people like his work.
Way too far to go back for adjustments (was there 2x's)
The office has (or had) a musty mildew odor.
This is my personal experience. Glad it works out for some people. I tried. I had different eyewear made from my guy in Florida.. He was great to work with. Currently no glasses needed... Toric lens ala cataract surgery.

If the lens, did the rx used 100% come from your optometrist/ophthalmologist? Or did Curran use that as a starting point and then adjusted it?

Not the lens...I brought the Rx to him. The Rx was ok.. I used them in spare eyewear.

Look at Ronnie early in his career. He was pretty tubby compared to today. Mark Allen, Shane Thompson, Shaun Murphy, Buddy Hall, and, of course Bill Werbeniuk, have all won while well overweight. Regardless, Cousins can move around well, and weight doesn't seem to be an issue.

Both Bergman and Cousins played great. Bergman is generally a slow starter, and while Cousins didn't play great for the first 5-10 frames, he played well enough to win. After that, Justin seemed to have his number. A longer race to 50 or so would be interesting, and I think would work well for Bergman.

I like a lot of the Meucci Original designs but more specifically the 84 series, Jim Rempe cues, some of the David Howard models. I have an 84-5 that I like. There's an 84-6 on ebay now but I need to quit spending money on cues for now.

In the late 80's I was playing with a Meucci but wanted a Joss or Schon. Got a used gold letter Joss and they are by far my favorite production cue maker. I need to add a block letter Joss and a gold letter Joss to my collection now. Never did get a Schon. Back in the 80's and early 90's almost all of the cues I bought were used and at a pool hall or from a pawn shop. I used to go looking at pawn shops for something interesting.

The only guy that used to beat me regularly in college had a Meucci. He kept trying to play me for my block letter Joss. Glad I didn't. I still own it. He became an engineer I think.

Well, he did cross most of the important parameters off the list of things to consider, so the question doesn't mean much. Here's my suggestion:

A 12 mm stainless steel tube

I once got a 5/8-inch solid aluminum rod and put a tip on it. Hit the ball a ton, but I couldn't get used to the cue ball deflection.

Who is the gal doing the interviews?
