Oh sorry there Neil must have hit a nerve eh??,lmao. Well ya got the pros doing what they do..then you have these (other) people that think they know...You can take it from here buddy.have a nice day,bro:) John B. PS: is that all you got??

If you want a herky jerk ugly stroke.....just use a short bridge,that'll do it for ya. I keep reading comments that go something like this......"oh hey,you better start out using a short bridge,cause your not good enough yet to use a long one". That's the biggest load of crap that I have read on...

Very well said,imo. I agree with ya a 100% John B.

Good question and I say a big Yes!!!,I would rather learn from just watching a pro than from listening to someone that has never been there and done that. If they never been there,then how the hell do they know?? Mind boggling to me really. Do what the pros do,even if you don't know why they...

Turn your hand and try to make it look like the pic from Straightpool IU. He has a nice looking bridge that should work good. You don't want a tight bridge,imo. I do not think your bridge will fix your crooked stroke problems. That is smart to fiddle with your bridge and stroke in front of a...

That's scary good!! Everything about him is. Look at his stance...he can kill the balls! With his closed bridge...if you will notice..he can lower or raise his middle finger for the shot at hand..that's what pros do;) Good pics right there buddy!! John B.

I was thinking the same thing,just didn't want to have to type his name,haha. I used to stroke like that too and could do some amazing things like that. I think I just got tired of all the chalk on my bridge fingers,I like to keep my hands clean.I don't use powder if I don't have to. I'm not...

I'm not sure I understand your ? But I would like to use this pic as an example if you don't mind. Maybe it will have something to do with what you are referring to. I don't like this bridge at all. It's too tight. A normal size shaft couldn't go back very far during the back stroke. I don't...

I would but I don't type fast enough,lol. I'll be back this evening and try to expand on it some more. Thanks for the request:) John B.

Yes,I'm sorry to say that short fingers are harder to make a good closed bridge. But you can shoot great pool with an open bridge.Just have to practice alot on keeping the cue from flying up off of your bridge hand,which is a good thing to practice anyway,imo. John B. PS: even if you can't make...

Good deal Lou! I shouldn't have said that you "dogged" that shot..you just used the wrong bridge. Sorry I said it that way,bro:) John B.

Good and you are welcome. You can work on your bridge even without being on or near a pool table. Do finger stretching exercising. See how far apart you can spread your fingers so that you can spread them as far as you can when playing your pool.You might be amazed at how far apart they will...

I can still see that wrong bridge you used when you dogged that out on me during our one hole match at the dcc this year. Dummy ( Lou F.) was tryin to use an ol closed bridge with his palm on the cloth while trying to follow his cue ball two rails on a tight 9ft Diamond!! :eek:, You could have...

Learn how to make a good bridge!!!!. It is one of the most important parts of good pool playing!!!!!. ( it's what helps you or allows you to go through the cue ball at the right angle that you need for the shot at hand!!!! Most people that I work with don't seem to understand this simple...

Well.... you just said it better than I did.:thumbup: JB

The cue ball does not know or care what you did on your back swing. Take a look at the top 50 players and you will see 50 different ways to get pool balls in holes. JB

I'm right handed but left eyed. The only thing I do left handed is shoot long guns. Like some have said..you aim with both eyes in pool,not just one so I don't think it matters. IMO if you want to play great pool... don't "aim" JB

Killing the cue ball with inside english. Only a top player can do it. JB

Most all pros use a long bridge because it's the best way to play great pool. John B.

Push shot= foul. JB
