Jump Bridges?

[straightline]

How about Earl's custom finger gloves? I think they actually made him take them off in one tournament.

Exactly. If you showed up with a tinfoil hat that worked, they'd have to ban it. I think they banned all hats just to cover the issue.

I always wear a hat when I play, it keeps the light/glare out of my eyes. Also, I'm hoping the ez bridge works better than the last bridge I am sending back.

The earlier-posted video showed EZ-Jumper being used with a round green cloth. The cloth didn't prevent jumps. The cloth comes with EZ-Jumper.

Reviews on PoolDawg gave it four 5 stars and two 2 stars. Comments below. No comments on Amazon.

I'm using it to learn how to jump. To be honest, after three tours to Iraq as a line medic my hands are pretty torn up. Mostly because I was young and dumb, and refused to wear gloves. impractical when applying tourniquets. Now my hands don't work like others, and I don't have the bridge possible todo a jump with out this tool. 07/28/24

Should be illegal. Once you get used to holding this it works excellent for jumping balls. 12/21/22

The EZ Jumper is a perfect tool for those hard to reach jump shots or any jump shot for that matter. Throw it in your bag - it might win a important game for you someday. 11/03/19

Great product to either help you learn to jump or help you bridge. I had surgery on my wrist and it is hard for me to bridge that high and stay steady. Love it. 03/08/13

I still can't jump even with this aid. I did not find it useful. Review by Store Owner on Tue Oct 15 2024

not that good. doesn’t work for me 03/09/13​

One Seybert's review with a score of five on 8/23/2023:

This thing is amazing it allowed me to jump a balls width easily and do long jumps and easily see the shot to aim and I don't have to worry about bridging my hand anymore it's a must buy for anyone having issues jumping or not and it's tournament and league approved so there's that. I love it and you won't be disappointed go ahead and buy one​

Many tourneys have banned hats and caps along with shorts and flip flops. Decorum is all I can think.

That easy bridge - I'm pretty sure it will bind if at any point the stick angle is too shallow or level. May not be critical. IDK.

Talking about that x thing, not the following.

I remember seeing one, Years ago...was good for when cue ball was very close to the ball being jumped-you bridge head flexed and the cue could easily rest at a very highly elevated postition and no wobble and worked pretty good...i dont think it caught on

Maybe that was the Eazy Jump that is the wood part of the photo here.

Now, that seems to violate pool rules while EZ Jumper does not:

Eazy Jump is a novel piece of equipment;​

Eazy Jump does not have you place the palm of your hand on the table.​

Senior Tom also mentioned another jumper besides EZ Jumper but didn't post a photo. Here is his panned "Jump Bridge":​

Thank you guys, I'm a decent jumper, but have trouble on close in jumps. Strange, I have large hands but can't seem to get a stable bridge going, causing me to make poor contact. I can close in Jump maybe 30% of the time, and long jumps, when there is a bit of distance between what I am jumping over, is very easy for me. I am quite determined to learn, and wondering if these will help me out. I actually have both ordered on Amazon and we'll get them this Monday to try out.

Jump overhand with the cue like a dart.

To clear a ball closer to the cueball, you need a steeper cue angle into the table.

It's just a wrist motion like knocking on a door.

Get a modern jump cue, like an Air. You will jump with ease.

Dart jumping let's you reach out much further Into the table and jump with follow and side English much easier.

Practice.

This (to me) is a case for illegal prosthetics.

You'd lose to me on any safes with the cueball more than 3 inches off the object ball.

Jump and kick multiple rails with follow.

But sure stay ignorant son...I like you that way.

Hence the illegal prosthetics this thread created.
