Where would a person get finger extensions like Earl Strickland uses?

Thanks,

Well, they were apparently determined illegal for this year's WPC, so I don't think their use would be up for consideration. I can't imagine that many vendors are going to start making them... Earl's were obviously "hand made". It looked like modified toilet paper tubes with hockey or duct tape. Brutal in their construction, but ingeniuos in their use. Probably easy to improve on, even with a suitcase of beer. :)
 
Top Spin,

Thanks for the reply. I have thought about making a glove like that, but instead I made a 6 inch tube to set my hand on top of. Now I can do a jump shot from the center of the table because my bridge hand is very stable.

From what I know, Earl uses standard business cards and then fits them around his fingers. Try that, seems to work for him.

How about coin wrappers. Dimes for the little finger, pennies for the ring, nickles for the middle..... Even experiment with leaving a certain number of coins in the bottom for stability,....or.......just play pool!!!! ;)
 
hummm dumb question. what is a finger extension. does someone have a pic? i just cant picture it.
 
It is just a glove with longer fingers that will raise your bridge hand up higher off of the table for jump shots or over the ball shots.

I know this was an old post but was thinking of this after a pop up came up for lifted shoes today. Was thinking hey that would make the jump shot easier. Then thought really what you need a longer fingers. Thought hey you could get a full finger glove put some silicon finger covers in it with padding in the end and probably gain a half an inch easy. Jealous of people with long fingers who knew!
 
They are called funk fingers and they are funking fantastic, fellas
