Some have a mold residue that will scratch your shaft. Just look before using.

The Road Bridge is a telescoping portable bridge with a very unique bridge head design that also pivots to any position. It allows you to shoot center, ball as well as top and bottom spin. The tall design also allows you to shoot over multiple balls that normal bridges will not reach. You can...

Pretty much based on the moosehead itself, but the less unoriginal aspects of the bridge stick set like the pivoting head is very intriguingI am very biased, but here is my favorite bridge.

I like the moosehead at our table because its the tallest bridge there. The Hitchiker is taller than PoolDawg's Moosehead (photos show Hitchiker 5-1/4" vs PoolDawg's Moosehead 4" ). I would have to work with the Hitchiker to see if its ability to pivot is a major advantage. The Moosehead I use now is loose on the cue-stick holder --- the Hitchhiker would be better than that.

All this talk about mechanical bridges makes me want to see the non-snooker ones be used in snooker tournaments for laughs, unironically.
As someone who comes from that background, after using the most basic moose head (bought a pack of 10 for circa £10 via eBay), I prefer the moosehead over the usual snooker offerings
I got mine.... well designed. Very sturdy.I am very biased, but here is my favorite bridge.

Certainly more options. The smaller rest points might work well for snooker cues. They bind on 13mm shafts and need to be held nearly congruent to the cue. I ended up using mostly the one wide one on the side.

Considering the smaller cue tips and front part of the cue/cue shafts on snooker cues, yes, the mooseheads would serve them well in theory. That said, I would like to know what the snooker players think of them, though if I recall correctly, Karl Boyes isn't exactly a big fanatic of the moosehead
The Hitchhiker does not pivot. Only the Interstate model has the pivoting head.

Right----Hitchhiker $45 versus the $125 Interstate that includes the Hitchhiker and a 5.5' telescoping handle with pivoting head.
If I buy the Hitchhiker, I may pick up some cue tips Dynamite, Razorback, and Mad Man:
Agreed. I'm sanded a few down to eliminate the sharp edge.
My favorite is the London Bridge. It is now being sold by Cue & Case under s different name. Extremely stable and excellent for shooting over a ball

You notice that bridge will let you place the bridge in front of the obstructing ball/balls without the bridge stick interfering. You could even bridge over a whole rack. It would be excellent for one pocket.My favorite is the London Bridge. It is now being sold by Cue & Case under s different name. Extremely stable and excellent for shooting over a ball

i just got these no names off amazon, 2 for 14. I really like that it’s clear, and much thicker and more stable feeling than those flimsy $1 moosehead bridges.
i never really thought about how nice it would be to be able to see through the bridge but now im wondering why they aren’t all made like that.
That bridge is pretty good but the radius of the grooves needs to be under 5mm. Many bridges get that wrong.

Years ago I think it was Lori Jon had a bridge that was clear and had all kinds of positions for the cue. I tried to find it on the net just now but could not find it. I doubt it is still made.
ive not noticed an issue. can you give more details?
The Moosehead design is the most simple and easiest to use of all the bridge designs I actually tried.I know there are no definite definition on what is allowed. I haven't seen a cheating device yet.
WTF ever happened to these? Now all I see are plastic moose head type.
This one here is pretty much shit and all places have it as their default when the one above use to be the default.
