Good stuff. I met a guy in Vegas with one arm that used something similar
only it was home made. It had a weighted bottom with a leather thong to lift it around with his cue. This one is much better with a bridge over top.

I hope he makes a bit of money with it.

I like that design. Elegant and simple. Seems well worth the price as long as you can get it out of the way after the shot.

Mike Massey promoted the exact thing like 10 or 15 years ago. It is not at all new

There was a guy around here that had ablock of wood cut into a pyramid with a eyescrew in the top whereyou bridge would be.shoot the shot just slide your stick down pick up the block and move on to the next shot. that was about 20 yrs ago.

Scott Simonetti, a local area (NY-NJ metro area) player, lost part of his left arm after it had to be amputated due to severe blood infection. The late great cuemaker Paul Fanelli created a pool specific bridging prosthesis for him.

Here's a pic from NYC Grind and here is a link to the story...
