    Jump Bridges?

    I use equipment that conforms to the rules if that equipment works for me. I don't blame my inability to improve on rules that limit the equipment that I'm allowed to use.

    Jump Bridges?

    If you want to get better, do whatever you need to do to get better. If you need to change the rules of the game to "get better", you're not getting better....

    Jump Bridges?

    Show me a sport, no matter how technically advanced you think it is and I'll show you rules that specify what you can or cannot do. Rules don't exist to promote improvement. They don't exist to help or to hinder. They don't exist to reward or punish. The rules for any game exist for no other...

    Sure. Why not? There are a million different bridge heads...

    Jump Bridges?

    And every one of those has specific rules and limitations on what equipment can be used, and how it's used.

    Jump Bridges?

    Am I understanding? You think we should be allowed to use other things/equipment to elevate the bridge hand? Interesting. I honestly have no real opinion on that. I don't think I would call the rule prohibiting it any more stupid than any other rule that limits how equipment is to be used...

    Jump Bridges?

    Exactly. Just like you can't use a piece of chalk on the rail to get your bridge hand higher...

    Jump Bridges?

    What do you mean by impeding "evolution of play"? How does the rule applied to jump shots do that? Does a prohibition of using other outside equipment to raise or elevate your bridge hand also "impede evolution of play"? I'm genuinely trying to understand your point...

    Jump Bridges?

    If you read my first post you'll see that I've actually used the ez jumper to teach people how to jump if they're struggling to get the elevation necessary with their own bridge hand. No binding at all on that one. Why is it a silly rule? The rule is consistent in that it follows the other...

    Again, the bridge is not used to support or elevate your bridge hand. It supports and elevates the cue itself. Like any other mechanical bridge. Perfectly legal.

    Jump Bridges?

    What rule? I can't speak to VNEA which appears to use some kind of proprietary rules unique to their league, but the WPA/BCA/CSI rules are consistent and clear. The bridges themselves are perfectly legal.

    Jump Bridges?

    Those bridges do not "support or elevate your bridge hand". Perfectly legal.

    Jump Bridges?

    Completely legal. I've used the first one to help people learn to jump. Especially those with smaller hands...
