    I couldn't work out if that was serious or in jest? I predict they'll be around for approx 9 more days until the auction ends Sadly it doesn't seem like we've generated enough interested... None have been sold in the current listing!

      Actually I was serious, because in the future their rarity will demand a high price. Take a look at the pinky ring chalk I posted in the NAAFI thread, how many of those do you think are around. I was just fortunate only a few people saw it when it was on ebay. Had any other collectors seen it, the price would have tripled.

      I shouldn’t own up to this but I book marked the page, I’m debating.

              Seems a good idea, though they look strange when he was wearing them in the picture!

              But the question is: Are they REALLY allowed by the WPBSA?

                This caught my attention too. When I applied to the WPBSA to have a technical innovation approved it took them eight months to respond and stretched to a mighty two lines. It said they would not consider any application not supported by one of their sponsors, which I thought sounded a bit fishy, and certainly disappointing for eight months' worth of deliberation.

                If these little finger extensions really are legal then perhaps these little toe extensions are legal too...



                Very handy for those one toe on the ground situations

                  Nice shoes, i wonder what they were for?? I wonder what, if any ruling there is for shoes. You could easily have a custom pair made that would extend your toe reach by a few inches. Some shoes today would almost fit that discription.

                      Yes I've noticed that a lot of snooker players seem to have unusually long toes.

                        They are used regularly by Efren Reyes in the 9 ball pool circuit afaik.
