    Jump Bridges?

    Post advancements; and the rules of confinement do not impede the respective sports. Scopes, compound leverage, triple skegs and leashes, not pool. Pool is like don't do this, don't do that, nope, can't, uh uh...

    Hermes is Hilarious

    According to the rest of the web, one of the first things Hermes did as a child was steal Apollos horses. Hmm...

    Jump Bridges?

    That is the standard usage of standard bridge heads. Long time ago they tried to market a handheld bridging tool under Loree Jones name and it was quickly disallowed. There's a lot of brain dead in pool. Thankfully that rule is no longer used.

    Jump Bridges?

    Pool is stoneage when compared to other tool facilitated sports. Archery, guns, surfing, on and on.

    Ronnie O'Sullivan does a jump shot - in a snooker match.

    I got the English part. Was the rest Chinese?

    Jump Bridges?

    That's what the rule says. You could otherwise use a block of wood with a wrist strap (so it comes off the table with your hand)

    Jump Bridges?

    Worst case example: free hand masse. More would learn how and moreover likely develop superior control. Ditto for the range of jumps.

    Jump Bridges?

    It's not silly it's stupid. It serves no purpose and just impedes evolution of play.

    WTF did the ref say?

    Jump Bridges?

    Yeah I know. Doesn't excuse the dum rule. Have you tried it? Those narrow slots could bind, The small ones on the moose will if you aren't perpendicular.

    Jump Bridges?

    e. You may not shoot while using any item to support or elevate your bridge hand. VNEA specifically says Devices Are Not Allowed For Jump Shots. Skwoo dem whoever they are. I'd use anything that would get sufficient bridge elevation. I've used magic markers - awkward but they'll do...

    Jump Bridges?

    I think the rule is bogus. I would use them if they worked. The tight V opening might bind if the stick angle is too close to level. Legal? Ask the officials per event.
