snooker table - will it wreck my game?

Sloppy

misterpoole said:
You already have a tight 5x10 table? Why go to an even tighter table if you are a league player? I grew up playing on a 5x10 snooker table and now play on 9ft pool tables. Whenever I feel my mechanics getting sloppy I go and tune up on that snooker table. It never fails to pay off for me.

Why would your mechanics get sloppy?

Keep your tight pool table and practice on a snooker table occasionally or when your shot-making needs tuned up. Unless you are going to be playing a lot of snooker, why not practice on the type of table you will play your games on?

Shot making tuned up how?

You are playing on bar tables, and you want to change to snooker tables? What is the logic here?
 
You need to know what you are talking about ..

i was more looking at the fact that there is NO SUCH THING as -10/670 vision. its an out and out L I E.

and 20/200 is legally bling in ALL states not whatever he said.

i'm just pointing out the fact that snapshot should be called "snap full of shit".

VAP (agrees that you need good vision though)

700 is legally blind a**hole, ask you eye doctor, my eye doctor, Doug Blackman, was the one that told me, and he is part of Grene Vision Group, you know Grene, the one that started the laser corrective surgey.

There is -10/670 vision, ask you eye doctor again ... You dumbass... Your just
out to flame me on any and all posts.

It's funny you have never mentioned your age or how long you have been playing. Probably some kid that gets his ass beat all the time, and your
ego can't stand it ..... lol So you have to run other people down to maintain yourself ...

Do me a favor, come to Wichita, so we can play some ...

the 20 never changes in front idiot. -10/670 is not an eyesight. and 20/200 is legally blind in kansas. dumbfuck

since you're the great road warrior no one has ever heard of, you can come to va.

and stupidass..........my age is mentioned several times, and how long i've been playing. look it up.

one thing i haven't mentioned is how good i am, and how good i play, and how much weight i could give people, and so on and so forth. which you have, and have nothing to back it up.

and since you have a habit of not paying attention, i'll direct you to the send a player to the open thread. there is a post about me there, from SOMEONE else other than MYSELF.

so asshole.........where are the people who have seen you play and can validate your claims of such a great player that you have tried to build yourself up to on this forum???

i would think that someone who plays as good as you would have had a nomination somewhere on the forum from someone who knows you..........wait, the only person that mentioned you going was yourself.

You are not familiar with Eye doctor readings, are you? You know those
little holes you look through, and he rotates the lenses. There readings
are not the same as what is stated for the 20/200 ... of course, I realize
the translation would be too much for you ...
 
Not to get involved in a flame war, but the front number never changes. That is the "compared to" number. It is the denominator. Legally blind, not for driving in your state, but really legally blind is 20/200 with both eyes open with corrections.

I think what Snap is talking about is his prescription to have his glasses made. Not his vision.

People with poor eyesight have a higher second number. A person with 20/40 vision can only see from 20 feet what a person with normal vision can see from 40 feet. 20/200 vision is considered legally blind in the U.S.

Richard,
I really don't understand what you're saying. Do you have to write so bloody small?

thank you jim. snapshot seems to think he knows everything.........he didn't know i worked in an optomitrist's office for a while. fuckin idiot.

he clearly stated that his vision was -10/670 which is WRONG.

he then clearly stated that 20/700 is legally blind, when 20/200 is legally blind.

he might something confused with his prescription, but either way, he's wrong, and wanted to act like this know it all asshole without checking his facts.

also..........he didn't answer my questions.........i gave him a reference my game........hell he's been playing over 40 years he's got me beat by like 20 times..........yet people on this board have seen me play, know my speed, and make good comments about me.

he's been playing FORTY years.......been on the road, beat champions........yet NOT A FUCKING SOUL has heard of him.

again, thank you jim for clarifying and hopefully showing this idiot how full of shit he really is.

Your right they are talking about two different things.....They are both right.....

Diopter: the measure of lens strength. =1/(focal length in metres)
Snellen: a system for measuring the accuity of focusing using eye charts. The result is expressed as a fraction eg 20/20

People with poor eyesight have a higher second number. A person with 20/40 vision can only see from 20 feet what a person with normal vision can see from 40 feet. 20/200 vision is considered legally blind in the U.S.

he said his eyesight was -10/670.......

i dunno a thing about prescriptions or how they work.......but i damn sure know there's no such thing as a -10 number up front.

To the OP,

If you get a new snooker table with new balls, it's a nice game to get warmed up with. But do what "USERID=Timberly" said to do.

When I was in UT, TN, MT, CA, and IL I'd purposfully look for snooker tables and ask for the 2.25" balls to practice with.

Get your new table, and when you feel comfortable, put the 2.25" balls on the table and shoot. Do your routines like normal, and you'll see your game sharpen.

Stay safe, play true
 
At least ...

thank you jim. snapshot seems to think he knows everything.........he didn't know i worked in an optomitrist's office for a while. fuckin idiot.

I say ...
At least dumbass, I know how to spell optometrist, and you worked in one?

All I read about you was you were young, good looking, and trying to improve your game .... That could fit a couple of million guys out there, and half would
have an ego problem, which seems to be your problem.

I never said I beat champions, idiot. You seem to like to distort and embellish into the unknown and unsaid. You wouldn't have been born yet when I was on the road at 18, and before you start, I never said I toured the country either, just a 3-4 state area.

And as I said before, my EYE doctor told me what my eyes are, and what
is legally blind.

I have not claimed to know everything sonny, but I bet I know a few things
you don't. I don't make claims that I can not back up, and I don't state
personal experiences that aren't true. I don't have to and never have.

I especially don't like to be called a liar from someone that doesn't know
sh*t from shinola. You don't know me, or what I have been through or who I have played. I tell you, if someone else said they played someone with some talent on here, I sure would not call them a liar without knowing for sure,
and even if I did, it really isn't none of my business...

I love the sport, but I have been married and working to support a family
most of my life, except for the last 15 years when I have been single,
and playing more again

Email me and send me your picture, and I will do the same for you. I like
to see who is calling me a liar.

thats right, start backpeddling. now that you've been back into a corner, you start watering down your stories. now all of a sudden, you are just some local yocal player.

my point was that at least people on this forum at least know me. no one even knows who the hell you are, and you make yourself out to be some sort of champion.

as far as your doctor, i'm sure he told you right, you just need to clean your ears, or maybe take some comprehension classes.

and god forbid, that i mispelled a word........holy shit, i used an i instead of an e.........good golly.......

kinda sucks to be outwitted by someone less than half your age huh???

excuse me??? i haven't even sad one word about myself, i just used the example that i have ten times less the exposure you claim to have had, and no one even knows you.

i've only called you on your bullshit.........as have many other people on here.

but since you're so good, and know so much more than myself.........i'll take your word for it..........

that means i'm gonna need the wild 5 out and the breaks........i'm sure a champion like you would have no problem with that spot. especially since i'm such an egotistical young idiot that can't play.........hows that for an ego???

I agree what he "said" and what he "meant" were two different things...

not really all that big a deal, i was just using it as an example.........he does alot of "saying"......

you just won't leave it alone

No, I am not just a local yocal player, I am a very good player, not a champion, but I am good enough to win a few things.

I stated facts of what I said previously that you seem to take such offense
to. Sure they know you, lots of posters on here from your general area.
I live in Kansas, and play in Ks, Ok., W. Mo. mainly. I haven't run across
too many posters on here from my area

Well, if you are so good to get nominated for a spot in the Open on here,
you sure would not need a spot from me, and I wouldn't count ever getting one from me. You'll just have to suck it up, and play your game.

Yes, I do have a lot to say, I like to help other people in the sport if I can, and since I have been playing a long time, and at the level I have, I feel that I can help other individuals in the sport.

Now, just go do your assasinating some where else.
