Keepons Eyeglass Retainers, To Stop Your Glasses From Slipping When You Play Snooker Or Billiards

Jan. 9, 2012 - PRLog -- “Tomatoh, tomaoe, same difference right? What about billiards or snooker? Well not quite the same in that the size of the table and balls are different, but similar. And whether you’re an amateur or professional, if you wear eyeglasses to play then slipping eyeglasses can seriously affect your game,” says Michael Wong, marketing manager for chamightlike.com which sells the brand name Keepons eyeglass retainers to stop slipping glasses.

In sports, seeing well is the difference between winning and losing especially in billiards or snooker. “We’ve all been there. You bend over to take that shot, your line of sight peering across your arms converging to an inverted T, one hand acting as a base, the other hand by your side or slightly behind. Your gaze takes it in the ball, the cue tip, the pocket you want to get to, and then something frustrating happens! Your eyeglasses start to slip. Very slowly at first. Ever so minutely. So gradually that you debate whether to even bother pushing them up. You think about waiting until the shot is over. But to not put everything into your shot, well, you might as well be reading or playing checkers,” continues Wong.

“So you sigh, and stand up straight, push up your glasses and then repeat the steps to get back into position. Which is a really big waste of time. To play snooker or billiards well, you have to see well. You need to see where you ball is going, the exact line, where it’s going to make impact with the other ball, the angles, what other balls are going to come into play, all that…and it can’t happen if you glasses are falling down your nose. Which happens a lot. The game is tense, especially if you’re a professional. You’ve been playing for hours, there’s thousands possibly tens of thousands at stake, and the pool hall is smoky and hot, you’ve got a dress shirt, dress pants, and a black vest on, and there’s ongoing perspiration on your face. You can’t help that your eyeglasses are slipping down your face.”

Chamightlike.com takes their marketing very seriously and Michael Wong is the man in charge of getting the news out there, and with the Keepons brand of eyeglass retainers, he’s always trying to see what new markets might benefit from the product.

According to multiple web sources, there are millions of billiards and snooker players out there, and so it’s not too far of a stretch of the imagination to think that the market for cutting edge eyeglass retainers might be quite strong, especially when you consider that Keepons sell for around five dollars.

“Billiards and snooker players have trouble with falling glasses all the time. How do I know? It happened to me when I played and it happens to my friends with glasses too. Well that is, until I started giving them Keepons (see video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chO98SlioMw) to try.”



Keepons (http://chamightlike.com/collections/keepons) are small attachments which slide onto your glasses, they slide over the arms (officially known as temples) of your eyeglasses and hold your glasses in place. How exactly do they hold your glasses in place? Well two ways really. One, is that it creates friction against your skin so your glasses won’t slip. With the Keepons, your glasses slip because the plastic coating of the temples is very slippery. Keepons is made of textured engineered rubber which isn’t slippery and therefore creating a frictionful surface. Next, Keepons create a sort of counterweight to balance out the heaviness of your glasses since they are heavier in front as a result of your lenses. If your lenses are made of glass then your eyeglasses are really front heavy.

“So yeah, back to cue games. If you’re serious about playing top billiards or snooker then stop your glasses from falling by getting Keepons eyeglass retainers. They’re roughly $5 for a pair and come with free shipping. Such a small thing, with the ability to change your game. And your life.”
