before I got back into pool, I shot skeet and the glassware is very similar, sit high on your face and look thru the upper part of the lens. so firearm shooting glasses will work for shooting pool too. since these hobbies were about 20 years apart, I had glasses for both due to changes in my prescription. they helped.

Nice choice! It comes in 3 or 4 pocket sizes too, incase you didn't notice. Same price for any. They are that way from the factory, not shimmed if you want tight ones. I'd personally get the biggest ones, but I'm a banger.

I go to Curran in Philly. I've been going to him since 4th grade for regular glasses in 1989 or so. (his father too at that time, and now his son works there). I asked him to design me pool glasses in 2002 or so. We worked together over several visits with my pool stick in hand and the rest is history. He does phone/internet orders too, you don't have to be local. If you go to him, tell him Papageorge sent you. I don't get anything, just like to support the local businesses.

Bump.

There are a few out there at different price points. Here is one: https://pearlandeyecare.com/

Good luck! Which ever way you go, you will be glad you did.

your wood shaft doesn't play any different with changes in the weather that is all horseshit. its not a golf club that bends with your swing. your swing is straight,

and even the old wood shafted golf clubs which i learned on didn't bend according to the weather. and if wood did that all the time, building houses would be a nightmare.

the cueball doesn't roll different because of the weather its the cloth that slows down the balls as it get more humid. i would guess because there is slightly more friction on a damper cloth.

Shafts are flexible and bend during a shot, some more and some less but they do bend and vibrate and work a bit like s spring.
Humidity and weather will affect that, might not be noticeable with all shafts but it’s there.
But that’s not the big issue.
Flying across the world for a tournament, getting your cue out and realize that the shaft has warped is not fun… finding an annoying ding in it is also not fun, finding a cue repair shop that you can trust across the world is not fun.
Non of these are issues with CF shafts.
Quiet mind when it comes to the personal equipment is golden and worth every penny and the phase it takes to get used to CF.

Haven't ordered it yet but I'll get it from the billiard factory at the out skirts of Houston! I'll call about it next monday or Tuesday.

to be fair it doesnt look like it should work. but my feeling is that particular one isnt going to be workable. but future things refined might make tipping easier for most and much quicker.

its like clipping and sanding your fingernails. you could make all sorts of gizmos for it but simply a nail clipper and a nail file work the best.

True, but NO top athlete in Any sport is FAT....
Have em play any player in top shape over 4 rounds....(Golf/Comparison) four days straight.
Ronnie O'sullivan ain't overweight, any great player in ANY sport is in SHAPE and not round.
Now if this man trimmed down about 40 lbs, then matters change dramatically.
