I think the closed bridge is over rated and will die off as more people realize the best shooters are using it less and less.
I use open bridge for almost all shots, including breaks. The rare exceptions are masse shots and when obstructed by a rail.
I have no problem with extreme english and power draw shots, though the cue sometimes goes into the air after hitting the CB. This can be controlled if one needs to.
Here's me playing some power shots with english using an open bridge.
