This is no surprise since accuracy is so important with tighter pool pockets (another pool trend in recent times) and in snooker, where the table is huge and the pockets are tiny. If your index finger is not in the exact same place or moves at all during the stroke, then the shaft will shift. endstream

A Strong Pool Bridge - The Base For Good Play . Open bridges come from snooker which promotes the sighting for high accuracy pots, the closed bridge is from pool/billiards which uses less accuracy … While the “index finger looping over and contacting the thumb” seems to be the “classic” picture folks get in their minds when they picture the closed bridge, there are others — and ones which are now more popular than that style, due to being more conducive to stability and accuracy. The reason that I ask about closed hand bridge vs. open hand bridge is that I see a majority of the pro players using a closed bridge, I've heard that it gives more support for the cue, and I assume that this is why they use the closed hand bridge.
Some green for you my friend. 0000078018 00000 n
However, there’s a trick to orienting that internal “V”-channel vertically so that it offers the same side-to-side stability that an open bridge offers: https://forums.azbilliards.com/showth…39#post3119239 And, one of the most unique closed bridges occurs when you take either of the above two types — the “looped index finger” and/or the “index finger pressing down upon the middle finger” bridges — and you fold the top half (last two joints) of the middle finger under the hand. But what about the stroke? offers a greater range of bridge heights. xref

You can follow through much more effectively especially with the high english using the closed bridge.
The cue upon contact wants to go up because of the curvature of the ball, a closed bridge prevents this. Also extreme english, looks like it would reduce the time tip stays in contact. Thanks Okinawa I will try this when i get to the pool room today along with some straight pool. I use an open bridge 100% of the time. supports the cue in a well-defined V-shape that provides a very accurate and consistent sliding guide. It can be easily flattened to a low cue position, and can be raised higher when bridging over a ball or shooting jacked-up shots. Open bridges come from snooker which promotes the sighting for high accuracy pots, the closed bridge is from pool/billiards which uses less accuracy and higher movements and positioning of the cue ball.
It doesn’t look as fancy as the wide variety of closed bridges people use, but an open bridge offers many advantages.
