I have a great idea. What if we take those Silica Gel packs and throw them in our pool cue cases? that would keep things nice and dry... right?

I don't think that's what you want. I think you want to keep the moisture content about what it is now. If the silica gel desiccant is effective, it will reduce the humidity below "normal".

Know the learning process in getting better and be honest with yourself in what level you are in the process.

The bridge head on that bridge is pretty much the worst possible kind. When on edge, as she had it, the cue stick wobbles back and forth. That's because the radius of the notch is too large. In addition, it appears to be one of those cheap, metal bridge heads that often has a sharp edge (flashing) right where the shaft sits. Bad job.
