It's a little on the long side for my taste, but there are tradeoffs.seems likely to be inaccurate with that length
I read somewhere that it should be the length of your forearm, is there any truth in this?
Well, it's not as long as your leg or as short as your little finger, usually.I read somewhere that it should be the length of your forearm, is there any truth in this?
As usual, Dr. Dave has more than you thought there was to know about it:I read somewhere that it should be the length of your forearm, is there any truth in this?

Allow a handful of people to measure from your wrist bone to your elbow and your likely to get a handful of different answers.Crazy as hell, I just measured. My elbow to wrist bone is 12"". My bridge is also 12".
Your bridge length should accommodate your stroke length. Mine is about 3 or 4 inches longer than my stroke. I've gone to a slightly longer bridge over time because I also use a further back head position than I used to. I do this for accuracy sighting the shots. It helps, like a longer barrel helps aiming a gun.
Sounds crazy but I've seen players (even pros) who pull their tip right through their bridge. I always thought a longer bridge would benefit them.

There is some logic to it. A shorter forearm means shorter mostly-horizontal travel in the stroke's arc, which might better fit a shorter bridge.I read somewhere that it should be the length of your forearm, is there any truth in this?
..have seen Philipino players use a bridge about as long as their shaft...
