I'm looking for some kind of bridge type device for teaching my 8year old a stroke. He is getting discouraged because hes not understanding his bridge hand. is there anything out there you can put on the table and let the 8 year old still play but use it as his bridge hand?
For some testing I was doing, I cut a notch in the side of a 1x2 board and then smoothed it out. You might want to nail a thin board on as a base.
Alternatively, you could mount a normal bridge head to a short length of 2x4. Your son could grip the board so he would be in the normal shooting stance. You could position the bridge-board in the right place so that aiming could be eliminated if you wanted to work on just the stroke.
Is he having trouble with an open bridge?
