We all sat round our TV’s of a Saturday night during the 90\u2019s with John Virgo and Jim Davidson. It may have only been a game as the Big Break theme went, but so much more is now on the line for players.<\/p>\n

With sponsoring as well as big prize money at stake, it\u2019s not just a case of potting as many balls as you can. Enter former World Champion snooker player, Dennis Taylor who has played an integral role in recreating his legendary specs.<\/p>\n

Dennis Taylor on his Legendary Glasses<\/h2>\n

The Northern Irish sportsman was infamous for keeping us all up one evening in 1985. His mammoth World Championship Final with Steve Davis lasted into the wee hours as Taylor finally triumphed. Talk about you’ve been framed!<\/p>\n

But today, we introduce the perfect partnership between\u00a0Brulimar Optical Group<\/a> and Taylor, who have collaborated on his iconic eyewear. Suitable for not only snooker, but crown green bowls too, feel at one with the baize thanks to the County Tyrone master.<\/p>\n

\"Dennis<\/p>\n

Searching for the Perfect Pair<\/h2>\n

This particular eyewear is extremely lightweight in comparison to Taylor\u2019s former specs that he wore in his pomp. In fact his World Championship victory was remembered more for his glasses which had more personality than Davis!<\/p>\n

Considered to be one of the most memorable pieces of eyewear in sporting history, Taylor\u2019s oversized square specs were the last solution. Having searched high and low for the perfect pair, Taylor reverted to his famous \u2018upside down glasses\u2019. He had them produced with the help of a former BBC commentator and the rest, as they say, was history. \u00a0He said:<\/p>\n

He got all these old tools out that he hadn\u2019t used in 40 years and actually made those glasses with proper glass, so they were quite heavy, but they worked and I would have never been named World Champion without them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Both Brulimar and Taylor have merged in order to develop not one but two different models. Utilising a number of different cutting edge procedures, you can enjoy sensational semi-rimless specs, which are available in either black or dark gunmetal.<\/p>\n

\"Dennis<\/p>\n

The Dennis Taylor Pro-Snooker Glasses Range<\/h2>\n

All of these spanking\u00a0new frames include Taylor\u2019s autograph, which can be found directly on the temples. First class materials have also been used in the manufacture of the frames, featuring stainless steel. This means the frames are both strong and feather light, with other benefits such as\u00a0a soft action spring hinge and silicone pads,\u00a0giving extreme comfort.<\/p>\n

With Dennis Taylor playing an instrumental role in the design of the glasses, it was possible to fine tune what is\u00a0without doubt the ideal glasses for snooker. But before you start queueing for it, there\u2019s more.<\/p>\n

The additional lens depth ensures the perfect view when playing snooker, not to mention billiards and bowls. Launched just last month, this brand new collection is already chalking up plenty of sales. On top of this, why not admire the vibrant green protective case representing the beautiful baize of the table (pictured above). This is all rounded off with a zipped black trim.<\/p>\n

If you want a piece of the action then take a sneaky peek at Dennis Taylor\u2019s Pro Snooker glasses<\/a><\/strong>. Please note, waistcoat, shirt and 1980’s funny hair cut are not included.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
