This weekend I was i playing at the US Amateur qualifier and I got left hooked on my object ball in the middle of the table. The object ball was in front of a corner pocket. I kicked at the ball and hit it but sold out. After the match a guy there said to me I should buy a Bullseye jumping bridge. I was like huh?

So here it is:

So my question is first whether or not this thing is legal for BCA/APA tournament play and secondly does anyone have this thing and use it?
 
Heres another one I just found online.

I remember this one getting posted on AZ before and the consensus was legal but frowned upon for competition like guys using a pink glove :p

is it still legal or have things changed?

Here are some demo vids

Hi uwate,

I don't know if it's BCA/APA legal but I do have first hand experience with it. Works great especially for the situations closer to the middle of the table. I'll have more in stock hopefully soon.

Link to demo videos to follow. I'll try to post links up tonight.

Update: Here are the links to demo vids as promised.

I have a bullseye jumper and it works great ,, There alot of people that hate jumping already but when I pulled this out and used it in the middle of the table after they thought I couldnt used my jump cue from there , it really pisses them off:p ....lol >> ED
 
arrow...do u have the large one or the smaller bullseye? I see they make two sizes....
 
This is why I hate jump shots all together!!! Maybe learn how to PLAY POOL!!!! Not play with a golf bag full of gadgets :rolleyes:
 
Even if the Jump bridge is illegal, its actually not that difficult to jump with a standard bridge and actually its easier to sight than a standard jump shot. The clear plastic bridges are the best because you can see where you need to hit on the cue ball.

Yea, play with one cue or club like they do in golf! :rolleyes: If it is a legal piece of equipment you can't really fault someone for using it. I imagine some guy with a mace was pissed when some son of a ***** pulled out a cue?

I find the pro-justa bridge way more versatile and very easy to use to jump from center table........
