Based on the ocean area at the waterline I reckon that one will raise it 30 metres, but as sea level rises the ocean area is going to increase dramatically. I used to live on an island that was not much more than 4 meters above sea level at is highest point. I have been inland for 8 years now.

Fun fact for today... If the total area of our oceans is 361 million square kilometers, how many Antarctictas have to melt before the sea level rises by one inch?

I doubt that very much. Most of their claims are false, esepecially the one about "these balls are used by 95% of professional players as part of their daily routine". They are after all, just over sized ping pong balls and manufactured by the same people in China. If you look at any of the...

These balls were recommended by a colleague so I ordered a set. I reckon that any promotion of these balls, including the reviews on YouTube, are false advertising. This video sums it up.

Optometrists reckon that the dominant eye is the one that sees the clearest. But the real dominant eye to a cuist is the one that sees the longest... after a few strokes it is the one that still sees when the other is tired.

Different strokes for different folks. If you can focus through the dominant eye then by all means align the cue accordingly. However you may find that pushing too much aside can be detrimental because the other eye still has a view. Without two eyes you lose depth of perception needed to judge...

Australia. But only seen a few ever. But like I said... they wouldn't know the difference.

I have only ever seen carbon fibre shafts used on full-sized snooker tables by people who would not know the difference.

Use a disposable cue.
