Does playing Pool with Families or Friends mess up your real game??

Well wait a minute now.
I was on an out of town grocery store remodel with uh let's see maybe 8 of us on the crew with carpenters and laborers and a Superintendent. So the first night after work. I played the Superintendent for the first round. I had bragged uh significantly with my co workers and told them that, ^I could Play."
So I broke and ran to the 8 and hooked myself accidentally. The crew was laughing and encouraging our Superintendent with, "Well at least you will get to shoot." No He didn't, I called it and kicked it. Just had to prove that I wasn't full of Sh**. 🤷‍♂️

I was playing at a popular bar years ago. I was on the 8 but the cb was hooked in a corner pocket. The 8 was frozen to the short rail about 8" from the corner pocket at the other end of the table. I kicked to the side pocket with running english and sank the 8. I heard "Oh my God" from someone watching. lol That was the last shot of the night... bar closed.

Billiards Glasses

I visited the doctor yesterday. I am getting glasses for sure, might try them a little while before ordering billiard glasses.

He is also ordering some contacts for me to try, but I can't remember what type.

He did his best, but as someone already said, I could tell he was guessing when I asked him to help me specifically with billiards.

Thanks again to everyone!

Mcdermott carom shaft (traditional maple)

ronfor0603
Hello.
Thinking of buying the Mcdermott traditional maple Carom shaft. First of all, does anyone ever played with one? If so, what do you think about it?

My second question is.
I have to know the collar size, my pool cue is 0.841 (21.4mm) and I would really like if it would be flush with the butt section.
I have send an email to McDermott, but they are closed right now, and I don't want to wait that long to find out.

If anyone knows? Please let me know
(And as usual, I apologise if my English is not the best)
Regards Ronnie

Just simply tell him that you need the contacts for distance and he'll know what to do. You'll need reading glasses for your phone while wearing your contacts.
Distance contacts worked perfectly for me until I had Cataract surgery and got distance lenses in my eyes.
