I’d thoroughly recommend it CC. After playing with them when I take them off to compare what I can see without them I find it amazing how I managed to pot a ball . It’s so blurry you’d have thought I had been raving all night circa 1989

Im wearing 1.5 reading/screen glasses and lately when i take them off things a blurred a touch. I put them on to eat food just because i can see clearly what i'm eating etc. 1.5 reading spec, seems to make every thing withinn sat 3 feet look HD.

How does that work over 12ft for snooker with what you discussed with snookerspex dudes?

The ENTIRE city of Leeds is behind Gracey tonight... A proper down to earth chap who's scrapped and clawed his way from humble backgrounds, a bit like Mark King.

Done well David, shedding 6 stone!! That really must have made a difference to his game/timing etc? Do you know how he handled that MM?

Your eyesight is very similar to mine and like you I had started to eat with my reading glasses on . It was only then I discovered the crap my missus had been giving me for the last few years .
They do the prescription over a 15 ft distance I believe . Not having played with them on a 12ft table I can only comment on closer distances . I’m confident it will make the most difference on the longer shots but I’ve been shocked how bad my eyesight was on the closer shots as well.

I . For some reason while I appreciate his ability I just can’t warm to Trump . I also love to see an underdog do well against the top guys.

So c’mon Grace !..

Cheers Bud, yeh i'm surprised in the change in my eyes over just 2 years so, well worth looking into now, especially as they arent Dennis Taylor style fish bowl size anymore!!

[Mrman]

Well at least he got 2 frames off of him. Better than the drubbing a lot predicted.

So it's Judd Trump V Ronnie O'Sullivan in The Northern Ireland Open for the third year in a row, a little snooker teaser, when was the last time the same two players play in a ranking tournament final three times in a row. Which event was it and who were the two players involved.

Hendry-White WSC - 92-94

I got Hendry right, was guessing who his opponent was.

RE The Carter - ROS match this eve, its amazing in Snooker that when you feel hard done by... the game will ensure you are indeed hard done by.... you make your own luck in this game!

When you are playing well, all the little bits of running go your way and it's the exact opposite when playing poorly. Or is this just how we view things depending on our mood.

Someone needs to tell him to stop messing around when he need three or four snookers and play his normal game.

He is having one of his series of brain farts , which he is inflicted with periodically. He leaves the arena after single every game is finished in his preliminary matches , if you watched on the Chinese stream you would have noticed this, he also plays on when umpteen snookers are required by him at the conclusion of a game and he looks like a tramp who slept out for a fortnight in Hyde Park . Worzel Gummidge hair etc. He should grow a beard like Mark Williams and he could pick and tug at it. It would be an improvement on picking his nose at least

one of the finest five to ten odd minute exhibitions of snooker i've ever seen was from someone who played john parrott in the 99 wsc , he needed three or four snookers to win the frame and err...got the three or four snookers to win the frame , not sure if snooker internet forums were out in those days but no doubt they would have contributed to the spectacle if they were .
