Can either of you raptor or muddog or anyone actually tell me wether its possible to put a screw on extension onto a scorpion you see I am 5ft 7 and shots with the bridge kill me.
9 ball,
I'm gonna give you the best piece of advice that a person of my skill level (can't hit my ass with a stick of dynamite :grin
can give you. Get as proficient as you possibly can with the use of a mechanical bridge. If I had a nickel for every game/runout/match that I've seen blown in my lifetime because somebody either didn't have the skills or they were too darn bullheaded to use one, I could afford to buy me a Southwest cue :wink:!!!
Just prior to and subsequently after my rotator cuff surgery on my left shoulder several years ago, I was forced to use the bridge on any shot where the cue ball was even with the side pocket or further up the table. Needless to say, I was using the bridge a LOT!!! I got good with it. Now, I won't hesitate to pick it up and feel fully confident in using it. I actually think I can aim certain thin cut shots (the really thin ones) better using the bridge than I can without it.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't want/have an extension (I have TWO of them). They come in mighty handy on certain shots. I'm just advising you to NOT $hit-can the mechanical bridge from your arsenal of weapons. On the contrary, get proficient with it. It can win you games!!!
