For those of You that don't know... The BreakRAK is getting some attention...

You can’t do this at break speed, 25mph shots. The cue ball jumps a few mm and will cause the object ball to jump into a rail and off the table.

Are we all playing with the same leather (layered / solid) tip after 4-6 months?

Everyone chooses their tips and chalks, but if you play a LOT the cost of tips and chalks might become a factor. My ideology is that if I feel that I give weight while saving a buck/euro or two, in the long run it will become much more expensive. That’s why I don’t mind investing a few dozen bucks annually to get everything right for me.

I feel that some players take (unnecessary) pride on choosing the cheapest equipment around. Happens also with people who try to find the magic bullet and invest a lot more than necessary 🤓

Sounds like you are trying to improve your game.
Sort of think it's about what you feel comfortable with.

Mechanical Bridge Designs

There are no complete descriptions of permitted bridge designs that I know of. The World Standardized Rules equipment specifications give a brief description that just says a head with a long handle. If you're going to try something novel, you should ask the TD or sanctioning organization beforehand.

I think the rolling bridge might not get past some TDs. I think Earl's finger splints might fail, too.

The WSR equipment specs need work.
