At a tournament many years ago, Grady Matthews was running the betting book and during a match between David Howard and Mike LeBron there was a lull in the action at his station, so I talked with him a little about his ideas on aiming
He espoused that various bridges are compatible with different physiques and hand sizes to give a clean pure stroke without 'steering' or adding side spin where it was not needed.....which could still occur, but not as likely. And could affect aiming without the shooter even realizing it.
Grady said for follow shots, he always used either Mike Sigel's bridge or the open hand bridge.
For draw shots he used a closed bridge exactly like Ray Martin.
He advocated experimenting with various bridges, making notes of the various consistencies and adapting/changing as necessary. Regardless of the aiming method chosen.
Grady was a smooth ole bird. And was always playing the better percentages.
