Do you use an open bridge or a closed one at long precision draw shots(more than a half table length)?
and why?
or do you use what is most comfortable to get the job done?

Long draw shots require a little power. So a closed bridge will keep the stroke more straight.
Also get the bridge hand a little closer to the cue ball and slide the butt hand back about an inch more then normal. Good follow thru is helpful.

"long precision draw" is an oxymoron, but to answer your question, closed as it gives me more control when going for a strong follow through.

"Pretty ugly"...or "barely alot" are oxymorons...long precision draw makes sense to me:rolleyes:
 
Open for me. I never use a closed bridge, nor do any snooker oriented players, who are excellent draw shot players.

Some draw and english shots with an open bridge in this video of me which might make one wonder why a closed bridge is necessary.

I use a closed bridge...however...Colin is correct. I took a lesson from Karen Corr and she was drawing the ball the length of the table with an open bridge!

i use an open bridge for that shot. sometimes i can do it with a closed bridge, but i find it easier with the open bridge. the open bridge gives your stroke more acceleration as there is less friction to slow down the cue.
 
the open bridge lets you hit lower on the cue ball while keeping the stick level. that is the key.
 
Closed bridge all the way!
I use closed grip for about 90% of shots.
Open bridge is for on the rail type shots or where my hand needs to be very close to the CB.

Pretty impresive shots,What tip is on your cue?
I like your you tube videos and the cat!!
To me the way -for example-mr D. Appleton(player with snooker roots)play long draw shots look effortless (open bridge),maybe close bridge used by players at long draw precision shots only because they think that is more secure in a psycological way,
