Stupid Questions about Bridge Cues!

Hi People!

Because of my physical disability I often need to use a mechanical bridge. I have a very cheap and light telescopic one which just about does the job but does anyone know of any manufacturer or retail store that sells wooden ones that don't feel flimsy?

I know pool halls have them but I would like to get my own as I prefer a snooker style X attachment and I travel for work in the summer. Is it doable to get a cheap cue somewhere and just add on the attachment myself?

Thanks

If you want a simple bridge stick, they are hard to find. I got tired of no bridges or lousy bridges where I play, so I bought a bunch of these sticks from PoolDawg. They screw together -- saves a bunch on shipping, I'm sure -- and take a screw-on bridge head. They were about $20 each including shipping as I recall, but that was quantity 10.

I have a couple of extra if you ever happen to be in the area.

I put Russo bridge heads on them.

I bought three of those in black. Work well, not flimsy, would recommend
 
Maybe a cheap two piece cue and a slip on bridge attachement.

couldnt you keep a snooker style X in your bag
and put it on a house cue?
 
I bought a bridge stick (a house cue with no ferrule or tip) from Mueller a zillion years ago. Is that what you’re looking for?

Not sure if the snooker X is threaded on, however.

American Heritage Bridge Stick

This solid Wood bridge stick will fit screw on or push on or clamp on bridge heads. Available in Cherry or Black Stains. Does not include the bridge head.

Jump stick, with one of those slip on moose heads. The one piece ferrule and tip holds the rubber grommet very tightly. It’s light and easy to manipulate. If you already carry a jumper, easy peasy.

There was one room we used to play in that had a large number of tables and a small number of bridges. I had an open spot in my cue case so I threw in my old starter cue, department store Excaliber fiberglass beauty...it was black so it didn't look like any of the house cues or house bridges, added a moosehead bridge to it, and our table was good for the evening.

I still keep that bridge head in my case, tho I don't lug the extra cue much lately.
