It has been statistically proven that you should always call "tails". I mean, if you get some head, you know you're gonna get some tail.

does $350 include shipping and declared value insurance?

This is a nice cue. Breaks like a cannon. I cut a "#" very shallow into the tip so it would hold chalk. It works great. I'm very pleased with the value and performance. It's a keeper.

I went to my local eye doctor and got a prescription for reading and distance bifocal (and bought eyeglasses). I then used that Rx to order the Curran eyeglasses from the web. I also sent a picture of my stance on the pool table to him.

Not sure why he poo-poos the concept of throwing the balls using sidespin.

More consistent pocketing. I love a shot where throw makes it work, but they often miss. Occasionally throw is all that will keep a run going, but if there are other options you should consider them first. That's all.

They are from prescription optimized for the distances of a pool table.
Here is from their Q&A at https://www.billiardglasses.com/faq.html

I need an Rx, What should I tell the Eye Doctor?​

A: Tell your doctor that you need an Rx for distance vision only. If you’re under 40 years old, most likely you won’t have an add power on your Rx. If your over 40 years old then most likely you will have an add power listed on your prescription.​

​

If you under 40 years of age then we can just use the Doctor’s Rx as is, and make you a pair of billiard glasses that will give you a large enough clearance to see the entire table without looking over standard pair of glasses.​

​

If you over 40 years old, then we modify the distance Rx and make it more of an intermediate distance to compensate for both your distance correction and up close.​

The Left vs Right is a very good way to sort out the self to self communication. The teaching of the weaker hand strengthen both.
"Try it, you'll like it" is a favorite memory. I said it in the sales pitch before launching the barrel she entered. OMG!!!!@@ I thought I had seriously injured her. The barrel went so fast and bounced so high off of big rocks, that dented the drum. Eek! After the sprint to the resting barrel and my hesitant enquiring, "are you alright?" Her reply, "You're Right! THIS IS FUN"

Thank you for the interest but unfortunately I recently packed up shop and moved. I was only making these as a hobby. I have no time line for when shop will be back together again.

No gap..... but I think we'd all like to see what you just said. Sounds interesting/impossible/but.

I think that's in the Ray Martin book. IIRC he or whomever claimed it said 1/4 inch. Doesn't take much to get the ball coming at you but it's real easy to foul. Many times the foul has little effect on the draw except for the slight hop.
