Don’t see that it’s particularly different to using a glove. They’ve had them for breaking for years.
Corey using the bridge to break 🤔🤔🤔 Why do you think he's doing this?

He's been watching Earl too much.
He says it’s for consistency. Cory has shown me some break things long ago(my break is horrible) he’s not doing this bridge thing for attention.
While I haven’t spoke to him about it, I know him well enough to be certain he has a good reason, as I mentioned I did hear him say “consistency”, don’t recall where, maybe Vegas about 6 months ago.
One thing is certain Cory has changed pool with his break going on 20 years now. He ain’t joking around.
I agree it seems a bit odd, but can’t argue with the results either

he was breaking good with that contraption. his problem is after the break rather
Did anyone ask Corey? He is very active on Facebook and part of some of the pool groups. I assume he would answer, normally very friendly.
A good way to find out would be to ask him. I suspect he thinks it eliminates any flaws in his stroke and gives him a more consistent spread - or something.
That would ruin everything. More fun to try to figure it out with speculation and theories.
Allison Fisher asked him and reported his answer while she commentated. See post #26.
I saw him do this years ago at Snookers in RI, asked him then and he never really answered past "its a different angle".
People have used it before, usually on the break shot. Pretty sure there are recent matches where Jennifer Baretta used it. Would be interesting to see if this was used all the time in playing vs a glove. In my thinking, a device like this, unless it's used by someone handicapped where they needed to have something to make the bridge for them, should not be legal. If you want a smoother stroke, use a glove. This is akin to a mechanical aid that takes over doing the work vs just helping it a bit like a glove or powder.
Agreed. I haven't seen it used with a bridge before, which seems novel to me and a different use case than gloves. I don't think it matters, but it's interesting to think how far one could push this. Instead of a neoprene sleeve, could i use a 4 inch piece of 1" PVC to better align the cue on the bridge?
Corey doesn't have this figured out. He should have worked in some bogus scientific stuff and they offered to give lessons for cash or record and sell a video - breaking secrets they don't want you to know.
That was far to simplistic of an answer.
