[SportsandRec] playing pool

[Tom Evans]

Ashley, I think you’re asking an outstanding question. I used to play a lot of pool as a kid and not so much later just because of time or some thing. I have low vision and very limited movement on my left arm from a few surgeries so I was actually thinking of the same thing. I don’t think you need to see the small numbers… I would think the solid colors and the stripes is enough. They have stores that sell only expensive pool tables. I would think they would maybe have some insight. Tom
