If you no longer could use a mechanical bridge, Would you be to short for a 9' box ?
If you no longer could ?

And only using dominant hand? If so, the long reach across the table for a shorter corner pocket is a stretch, but I'm a little over 6' and long arms.
then you just spear it one handed like any real man does
Anyone not well over 6' tall would be. In some cases you need to shoot over a ball far away which means you won't be able to reach things well no matter what. Not to mention needing to shoot to the opposite side you play from so it's not only the length but also the side of the table you are on. I know a few not very good players that don't use the bridge, which is funny because one of them is really short, like 5' 4". A friend of mine just asks people "are your arms 9 feet long?" whenever people start to yap about using the bridge.
If I could use a cue like Dr. Dave's with two extensions I'd be alright.
No.
I don't prefer to use one either.

I’d get belly hooked a lot…..

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
What the hell...
If if's were fifths we'd all be drunk.
If cues were shortened to 36" would a 7' bar box be too big?
If cue balls were yellow and the one and 9 were white how would it change the game?
Too much concern with creating 'new' threads...you nailed it.
You're stretched with out with 2 fingers on the butt, your feet slide and flatten the jewels.
That's my favorite.

if you no longer could post descriptive topics, would you still create the threads?
That's nuts.
The six years old Willie Mosconi was allowed to stand on an upside-down milk carton by his opponents as he was too short to reach many of the shots. If a table is too big for me, I hope you'll let me use a milk carton just as Willie did.
You adjust to the situation at hand.
My local bar has two 6.5 foot tables, both have walls inappropriately close to the tables. {And over the years, Pledging FRAT rats have stolen all the short cues.} ... What happens, over time, is that you develop position strategy to avoid leaving the CB where one of those wall is interfering with your next shot.
My guess, is that you would develop a position strategy whereby the CB was left where the lack of the mechanical bridge would not be a problem (very often).

Conversely. your opponent develops a strategy to play safe where the walls are a big problem.
