It's time to stop fooling around trying to stretch your arms to unreachable lengths for those hardball'>cue ball when it's not in the center of the table.
What is a Billiard Bridge?
In pool, having control is imperative for an accurate shot. Accuracy is partly of where and how you rest your cue during your shot. If you have trouble getting your cue up over a ball, or when you have a long shot across the table, you need a bridge head. Some players choose to use their hand as the bride. The weak hand acts as the bridge on which the pool cue slides back and forth during the shot. If you can make a solid bridge, you'll shoot better and improve your pool game.
