Lol. I would let anyone have that as a spot. It would really only help very low rated players and they can't even do what THEY hope to do more than 50% of the time. I already have a voice in my head telling me what to shoot and that one is confusing enough. This isn't something I would ever worry/care about.
That's why I recommended the simple foam ones....
They are dirt cheap
They do the job
And I've never had to send any back!
Wrong gender. But in essence correct.
That sums it up pretty well!
Sorry to hear that. My wife and I both have a set for over a year and no issues at all. Good luck on your next approach.

You‘re right most bar/clubs do have loud music playing most of the time. I remember playing in a tournament at Hard Times in Sacramento years ago when they turned off all jukeboxes during the 2 day tournament and you should have heard the howls from the non pool players in the joint.
I understand music is played in clubs and bars. I am 70 years old and have been exposed to all sorts of things over the years. Now that I have lived this long I take my health very seriously, honestly every day is a blessing. Below is a link that gives recommendations and comparisons of sound levels and what is healthy and not.. The levels I experienced were and will be unhealthy, but I gave my word to this team and will not go back on that. However I will wear protection and another of my teammates has already ordered his ear protection.
What bothers me the most is the owners are willing to damage their customers hearing and for what, a few dollars? Going forward I will only go there on league night once a week and will spend less there as a result. A happy customer will spend more and be at your establishment more, something they should consider...
The decibel readings last week were 115 - 120..

The human ear is very sensitive and perceives even the smallest differences in sound intensity. However, we may not always be aware of just how loud some sounds can be.

Often times, the owner is absent, and the ‘counter man’ controls the sound system/juke box.I understand music is played in clubs and bars.

A few yrs. ago, I checked out a billiard room I had heard about, but had yet to visit. I found 8-10 nine foot G.C.s, covered with a well-worn, cheap grade of carom cloth (like playing on silk). The sound system was cranked to ‘rock concert’ volume, and when I could finally make myself heard & complained to the 20-something counter man about the noise level, he looked at me like I was crazy. Needless to say, I never went back.
Yes what you say is true. The staff here is aware as is the owner. It was even louder tonight reaching 125 decibels at times. If I could bail out I would!
