Pro Justa-Bridge Pro Justa-Bridge, anyone have one?

Bought one last week from Pooldawg. It took about four days to get here. I like it very much. The amount of control is beyond my expectations.

I can shoot over three balls when the CB is in contact with the first ball.

You can place it directly in front of an interfering ball from either side.

It can be used under or on top of the rail.

You really can jump with it.

I get exactly the spin I need -- What more could you want.

Oh the felt is "nice" to my expensive cue stick.

It fits on my Mace jump break with no problem. However, it doesn't fit on my Predator Z shaft because the 12mm shaft is too small.

I have a Porper cue case with two zippers on the side pocket. The Justa Bridge fits in the case easily. I can't snap the top flap because it sticks up a little but it doesn't seem to have bothered my cue transportation. I move my cue case around everyday and have had no problems.

I think it was money well spent and I am sure that I will use it for a long time to come.

On the negative side. One of the guys at the hall tried it and didn't like it. He thought the felt was too snug. Personally I like the "tighter" grip seems more like my hand bridge. Then too I use a Z shaft and his was probably a larger diameter. Seems a good idea to try it first to see if the stroke is acceptable to you.

I continue to take ribbing from some of the guys at the hall because I bring my own equipment. They think there should be a rule that says one should use the house equipment.

Oh yeah, my wife wants to know if I have enough pool equipment. Told her I probably never would have enough. I don't begrudge the guy the $40.00. It is good invention and more than worth the money to a serious player. Now that I know how good it is I probably would have given him $100.00 for it.

I am kinda tight with money for equipment and make many things myself (even if my wife thinks I spend too much). I doubt that I could have made this bridge for less than $50.00 bucks and many hours of trying to get the same type of bridge.

In general, people who have tried it like it and I can sense a little envy here and there.

I have one it is a little bulky and flimsy. It is useful and comfortable since you can position the extender to one side (it has a joint at the head) and doesn't scratch your shaft since it is lined.
 
I bought one when they first came out 8 or 10 years back. It's powder coated. They are pretty rare I think.

Not long after they came out they were revised, made in plastic with the felt in the cue openings.

I decided that mine would be a collectors item worth big buck so I also bought the plastic one with felt in the cue openings.

They're the nuts! On the ccb they call guys like me "googans"... if I remember correctly... and I may not. "Googan" was a name that someone (maybe Spidey?) came up with for guys that buy ever freakin gadget to come down the pike.

I have to admit that I fit that description. I'm a sucker for a cool tool. BUT... I'm trying to quit.

I have one also, its great. I like how its felt lined so that I don't have to worry about knicking the shaft of my cue when trying to do shots that need power. That's what I hated most about those brass bridge heads that some pool halls use. I used my accumulated e-bucks through E-Bay and bought it from a billiard supply dealer on there, practically free in my mind. Though, I think an aluminum anodized version like previously mentioned would be even cooler! Wish I had one like that. It does feel flimsy sometimes, but I haven't seen one break thus far. Several people in my league have them and use them regularly.
 
I have one and I appreciate it for its versatility. Also, it fits easily into my case, nestled against my cue claw. It can be a little bulky, and I have accidentally hit other balls while trying to lift it quickly from the table, but then I'm not that great with a bridge to begin with.
 
I bought one a few years ago @ the Super Billiards Expo

I absolutely love this device. People freak when I break it out. When properly screwed into the cue and used properly, this piece of equipment is amazing.

The device fits in my case with no issues.

That and my shafts cost about $400 each (seriously) new, so I never worry about scratches either on the ferrule or the shaft.
 
Best Bridge Ever

Yeah, I bought one of the originals when they were powder coated aluminum or some other alloy. But they cost $60 and he didn't sell many but I bought one (6 years ago) and it was worth every penny if you like winning. There is not a shot I cannot reach with this bridge. Especially over one, two or even three balls. You can draw like the dickens, and you can get to rail shots very easily because they bridge adjusts to just about any angle you could want.

Why count on the pool hall bridge that is half loose already and doesn't really do much for you. The only problem with it is the other team wants to borrow it and I have to politely tell them no. I'm not going to lose it, or have someone break it, or help the other team beat me. Because when they see the tough shots I can do with it, they want to use it. My teammates only can use. And it fits nicely on a house cue. Just make sure your name is on it or it will dissappear. Yeah, and it fits nicely in the top pocket of my 3X5 Instroke case.

It has some kind of intricate ball bearing system that makes the bridge adjust easily to any situation. I'm not a mechanical kind of guy, but this thing is the absolute NUTS. For $30 bucks for the plastic one, how could you possibly go wrong. What, that's the cost of one nights worth of beers for most folks, but his thing will last years.

Justa- Bridge moment

Did anyone catch the Justa-Bridge moment in the Efren vs. Gomez match?
Gomez reached under the table for the bridge he came out with a Justabridge.
He look at it like what the heck is this.:D
He put it back and came out with a regular bridge.

I enjoy using mine. I think they are great. :thumbup2:

Sorry to revive an old post but do you think you can post a picture of it? I searched everywhere for a photo of the original but can't find any. I'm just curious as to how this bridge has evolved over the years. Looking at Keller's website, the bridge now has a red piece in the middle, not sure what it resembles though as his site doesn't describe anything unfortunately. http://www.kellersbridge.com/order.html

I kinda wished Larry Keller would add detailed descriptions of his product and made his website more presentable. A good example would be John Leitch, the inventor of the Chalk Shark and Mako Bridge. Detailed and thorough descriptions of his products, very presentable websites etc. http://www.makobridge.com/Welcome_to_Mako_Bridge.html
 
Just a bridge tops ALL. Should be the standard at any Pro Tourn! And.....Made in USA!

Yes, they are very cool ... BUT ... will ding your shafts due
the absence of the Felt liners.

I may be wrong, but I thot the original ones (metal) had thick white felt inserts too.


I don't remember...it was stolen over 10 years ago..:mad::mad:

...generally a sign that the item was worth having, and therefore stealing.:(:(


A great product.

Be aware, tough to use with those long extendo telescoping 10 foot aluminum bridge handles....the ferrule/ tip rotates, so can't adjust bridge from 10 feet away. The collet that grips the tip, rotates to create the different bridge positions by a cam action, so the tip/ferrule must not also rotate.:confused::confused:
