Just saying stating the way you did makes it seem your two points are more salient than the dozen, and likely even more, other equally important observations any experienced pool player could render. I was simply acknowledging that improving your pool play involves a compendium of...

Is there anyone that doesn’t think cue ball speed is important? Is there anyone that doesn’t think chalking is very important? Is there anyone that doesn’t think staying down in your stance isn’t important or maintaining the correct contour shape of a tip? These are pretty obvious like so many...

Frosty, actually all the water is not removed and one of the final steps in torrefication is to reintroduce a small amount of moisture (approx. 3-5%) so that brittleness is not a issue. Folks tend to pass along stories about pool cue & shafts that aren’t always accurately portrayed because it’s...

I found the frame to be like a electronic gun sight with a large MOA. Since my billiard eyewear was not a progressive lens, I never looked or aimed at object balls other than through the middle of the lenses. I don’t have any limitations in bending or lifting my head or neck while assuming my...

I dunno what private health insurance plans pay but even basic Medicare picks up a chunk. Eyesight and hearing are senses we rely and depend on every day and diminishment of those senses can be ruinous to just enjoying everyday life. Cataract surgery was like seeing color for the first time. I...

Prescription contacts for pool are impractical for everyday life’s vision needs, especially driving. The depth of field prescription is adjusted to improve vision from 2-3’ distant to 12’. So your long distance viewing suffers and is not practical for driving. Getting contacts still require a...

He’s physician that cares about your sight and helping you enjoy life all the more. Too many physicians belong to a IPA and are held to productivity metrics more than patient care. Time is money in a doctors office so when you locate a doctor that cares, you enjoy better, more personalized...

What’s even better than great clarity is the world of colors exploded. One thing you’ll need forever is sunglasses. Stepping outside into sunlight or daytime driving is absolutely blinding. Fact: having your vision restored via cataract surgery means permanent light sensitivity. It’s a small...

Gosh, I dunno what to say about those glasses other than everyone has different tastes and opinions. Personally, I’d rather go with a contemporaneous look & style eyewear instead of that style of glasses. And by using a blended prescription, presuming you had near and far vision prescriptions...

A correctly built Kielwood shaft might not be immersion water proof but it’s pretty resistant to humidity, i.e., moisture. Me thinks Pia Filler knows not much of what she speaks or else is just huckstering for the carbon fiber shaft industry. Here’s a observation I think others will attest to...

Do yourself a favor and have your optometrist create a blended prescription of distance and close-up. Mine spent 20 mins in a conference room placing objects 3-12 feet apart on a large conference table. He used the portable fitting station optometrists have and we experimented different lense...

I think garczar stated that about this Dynasphere series and never implied that the other versions were like this. TX, the clarification ensures readers who knew little about Dynasphere understand other versions are different.

Thanks for the quick reply that is based on experience, not what you read or were told. The one thing you want is overall conformity with pool balls that are used in pool rooms. A pool ball can be 2 1/4” diameter and weigh 168-169 grams but its actual composition is something most of us would...

The set seems like a bargain price and has tight tolerances according to Mensabum’s measurements. Appearance wise, it’s a pretty Ho Hum design but for this price, it’s very unrealistic to criticize the design. I look forward to seeing how the pool balls hold up over time but Dynasphere pool...

Some of the longer duration forum members will remember these shirts that I still wear when playing in a new pool room. I found it’s a way of meeting other forum members and I’m glad I didn’t have my forum handle printed on it. That wouldn’t be the most inviting embroidery to adorn a shirt but...
