Serious Problem: Can Anything Be Done To Prevent This?

Yes, Kicken, that is a serious problem but I believe previous posters have provided the sufficient and necessary remedies.

Now allow me to address another serious issue to the pool community. In the movie Poolhall Junkies, Mars tells Christopher Walken he can tell Walken is a pool player because Walken has a crease in his pants from repeatedly leaning over a pool table. At first I chalked this up to Hollywood fantasy, but what if it's true? What if unknown to us we are walking around with unsightly creases in our pants? Why do so many pool players I know seem out of work? Could it be that potential employers scoffing at their pants and black balling them out of feer they will be playing hooky in poolhalls all day? And have you noticed in general that tournament purses have declined in the last decade? Could the big-money promoters be turned off by our creasey appearance? I believe this issue has gone unaddressed for too long, and I can only hope that Mars makes a sequel that provides counsel on this issue. The pool community has suffered too long.
 
Like all serious pool problems, this can be fixed by taking off two weeks then quitting.

so what exactly is the idea behind this particular remedy?

would you wipe your forehead expanding the excitable foreskins which in turn make the wrinkles disappear?

then would this only hide them when aroused?

this can be a downside.

but I do see an upside.

then, again, a downside.

I have noticed that pool players are especially susceptible to getting forehead wrinkles since we squish our faces often as we sight down the cue whilst shooting.
I am an extraordinarily handsome man who is now concerned about these dreaded forehead wrinkles and so I wonder, is there anything we can do, either prophylactically, or perhaps there is an available effective treatment if you do develop these?
I'm getting other wrinkles just worrying about this.
How do you guys deal with it?

Those forehead wrinkles, Brian, are caused from "grimacing", much like an African lion does after he has smelled a lionesses ass. You set up for the shot, it stinks, and you "grimace". Pretty simple, really.
As for protecting your handsome face I don't think stretching a condom over it is going to do much good.
Dealing with the problem, however, is pretty straight forward. Don't shoot stinky shots.
I hope I have been of some assistance. Your friend Tramp. :)

KC, I read the opening post with my first coffee...whilst going to work, I gave
it some serious consideration.

But after reading the rest of the thread, it's hard to get serious.
:rotflmao1::lol::rotflmao::killingme:
You AZ posters are cracking me up.

Sooo...I'll get back to you when I settle down.....
....maybe finish that book by Kierkegaard or somethin'
 
Rumor on the street is that you can rub your forehead with Kamui chalk. It lasts a long time !
 
Ok, I will let go of a long time pool secret. Only the hardcore road warriors from years ago used to know this secret.
Since we are on a pool forum and sharing all pool secrets, here we go!

Go down to your local pharmacy and pick up some hemorhoid cream. It will shrink up those wrnkles...I swear!

I was going to keep this secret and take it to my grave, but......ah well...there ya have it ;)

This remedy only works on certain personalities.:cool:
 
Massage your forehead for five minutes every night before bed, apply cold pressed, cold processed, hexane free, paraben free castor oil on all areas that can get wrinkled or develop creases. The massage helps the blood flow closer to the affected areas, bringing much needed nutrients and oxygen, the castor oil is an old home remedy keeping the skin moisturized is key. They are hard to get rid of but easier if you take preventative measures. Oh and dont wear a hat when you play it only helps "squeeze" the skin and make even worse wrinkles, made that mistake already.

How do you explain your face smelling like an old mans ass???
 
Okay....here is a serious answer to forehead wrinkles whilst shooting pool.

I think it is the basic set-up that makes one forehead crease.
A lot of people set up looking at the cue-ball....
...then they have to look UP to see the object-ball...therefore they're looking
from the upper part of their eyes.
The ones who set up looking at the object-ball look Down to see the cue-ball.

Ever notice how some players look serene over the cue?
I feel they're seeing the shot with their eye-balls in the center of their sockets.

I think when I am having a good day, I set up with the object-ball in the
center of the 'clock' (your full range of vision)...and the cue-ball is at 6 o'clock.

Watch a few players, you'll see what I mean.
