Love my shaft extension (mid cue extension). Won't play without it.
It works better than those butt extensions that move the balance point way to the back. .
Pool fads?

No handed breaks too
About ten years ago I was banging some balls around in a beach bar with a friend when a very cute and equally petit little Philippina gal approached and asked us if we wanted to see a demonstration of the "Shifty Bridge" in action. She proceeded to slide one of these over her shaft and start draining shots with a long reach. Being short it certainly seemed to work well for her, but I can't say I've ever seen one since.
By the way, I considered starting another thread named "Pool fails" but I decided that wouldn't be fair to the company.

Count me in I like the medium Kamui tips. Guess I am behind the times.
My father's friend in South Carolina makes these. They're perfect for kids learning to play...my 4 year old granddaughter uses one. A few other juniors locally have them as well. There is a 6 year old that plays in a few of the local in-house leagues down there as well who uses one. They're actually pretty cool and very well constructed. Can find them on a few billiards supply sites
I order it online and it still works
I have not. But I was also late to the mid cue extension party. I finally broke down and got one after about 100 people telling me I needed a longer cue, my rear 2 or 3 fingers were always wrapped around the butt of the cue. I didnt like the feel of the standard 4" extension (at least I think thats what they are) so I had my local cue guy build a 2 1/2" extension for me.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
They're great for people that have physical troubles. One handed players, wheelchair players, arthritis, palsy etc. Great product, glad to see them around.

Here’s one you could ask- I’m right handed and chalk w my left.
How many play & chalk right and right ?
The best to me
I saw something similar years ago for someone who didn’t have a full left arm.
I remember it looking a bit different. But same idea.
Pool gloves... Man... Those things have really taken off... I see soooo many players using them
I think most of these products were used by players that have limited use of the bridge hand rather than replacing an actual bridge. Although it's an interesting idea for that also. Issue is that many times you are using a bridge in limited space with other balls around or shooting over the top of a ball, and this rolling bridge is just about useless for that. But I bet many one handed players do have something like this, ah... handy, to use.
I think now you may think of it as such since it fell out of favor pretty heavily to 9,10 and 8 ball as being one of the main game players played. I would not call it a fad but a bit like stick shift cars you don't see it much anymore. What would be something that is popular for a long time but is no longer so? Not really a fad, not sure if there is another good word for it. Obsolete maybe? Outdated? Not in vogue? None of those quite fit a still known and somewhat popular game just not among the general public.
Best thing about the Sardo Tight Rack was the girls at the TV table at the DCC using their tight racks. Sardo, of course.

Do you have a liquid weight cue and do you use it ? Also did you send the cue in for installation or did you buy one of their cues ? Guy
I guess the liquid weight might act as that metal powder or whatever is inside recoilless hammers? I don't know what you call these in the US. It's a hammer that doesnt' bounce back?

Don't they play much like graphite only for much much more money... Sure would be hard on some of the bangers to see them come on market for maybe 50 too 100. Dollars... Guy
