[KeithinFrance]

I think I'd buy them just for the laugh value!

[RGCirencester]

Those are awesome!

Don't tempt me ;):p

[mushka]

Think they will be allowed in competitions anytime soon?

[LavaChild]

The listing states they are "totally legal as confirmed by the wpbsa".

[paulbur]

They might work but they look ridiculous id be to embarrassed to use them lol

[ADR147]

lol well that made me laugh.

[alex_5525]

"made from unbreakable plastic"

Would love to have a go with these after a few beers! Unbreakable eh?

[RGCirencester]

Warning: Trying to break a very hard pair of stilts on your fingers while drunk is a VERY good way of breaking a finger or two!!!

[MattCash]

Those are awesome!

i had a feeling that you would like them :rolleyes:

[Mike P]

I can’t imagine that they will be around for long. In years to come they will certainly be a collectible item.

[RGCirencester]

Does that mean youve bought one mike :p

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

[Mike P]

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.

[checkSide]

Didn't Earl Stickland use a pair of these once? lol

[Mike P]

I think he did, but weren’t they sticking out his nose;)

Mike

[KeithinFrance]

Mike

Nice one, Mike! Lmao :D:D:D:D

[bongo]

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?

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

[Mike P]

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.

[itx]

i'd bet that earl "the pearl" strickland, would buy them if he saw them.

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

[poona]

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

[DandyA]

I dunno about that French guy but I want some! Have you got any in stock ADR and if not, why not :)

[ADR147]

£250 a pair i will get some!

[Mike P]

Does anyone know what they were originally used for? I would guess they were wore for a play in the theatre. Either that or for swimming.
