Need a bridge for my cue case, what do you recommend? I'm vertically challenged and don't like relying on the bridges in pool halls. Is there a collapsible model that you have used and would recommend?
Short people got no... a question about bridges

I also use the same aforementioned bridge head, I just put it in my pocket and when needed I put it on my Break Cue, make the shot then put it back in my pocket till needed again.

I purchased a bridge from Madman. One thing to consider for a bridge, it's name. It's meant to help you get over a ball. A lot of bridges just don't have the proper height, like the moosehead. With my madman bridge I can easily clear a ball that is behind the bridge and under the stick without having to jack up the back end of the bridge stick. I know he called his a one pocket bridge at one point, but it's far more useful that just in one pocket.
Consider me a vote for the justabridge. That thing is incredibly versatile and is great for shooting over balls. I got mine from Seyberts.
There is NOT a better bridge on the market. You can shoot over and around anything, plus, it allows you to get low enough to draw with some juice :thumbup:
I saw a telescopic one, the head folded over so it would fit in your case. Never got to try it, Thought it was pretty cool, but hard to say if it was worth buying without trying one.

London Bridge is actually nice if you are pressed for much room in your case... Think they sell for $15... May start stocking them on Outsville after the new year.... Does pretty much what it needs to do....

Thanks for all the great suggestions gents -
I highly recommend this one - cause you can see through it! It's from Maik Halmer, his nickname here on AZ is "Maik". Just ask him, if he will ship this one from Germany...

The friends, who followed my recommendation, are as happy as I am with this bridge (with ball marker).

I made my own ... about a decade ago. It has some benefits.

It goes will with the 60" Mark Bear cue (what I play with, the rest goes on a house cue) :thumbup:

I too am short and couldn't depend on finding one when when I out playing, so I built a telescoping bridge that fits nicely in my case. It cost about $4 to make.
btw - after I built mine, I began to see this same design for between $25 - $45 from dealers. If you're interested I'll be happy to tell you how

I produce these for Omega Billiards and Seyberts. I also make a special adaptor to use it with the London Bridge or the Ajusta bridge

Another vote for the London Bridge. Because the cue shaft rests in a "V"-channel, it's more accurate than the "U"-shaped channels of e.g. the moosehead bridges, et al. (The cue tends to be sloppy and wants to wobble around in the bottom of the "U"-channel.) And, I like the fact that you can see right through the London Bridge, so you can be more accurate in its placement when amongst a cluster of balls.
I like that telescoping bridge stick that wrickyb produces for Omega and Seyberts, that can accommodate all the popular bridge heads. What a great idea!
