    dude loads of world class players have that bridge. I my self use the snooker text book bridge holding my thumb on my knuckle for the cue to rest on. It is where ever you feel comfortable cueing.

    MrXeno you sound …
    MrXeno you sound like an idiot. The type of bridge that it used by a player is all about being comfortable. I have never seen you playing BILLIARDS or, as drunks and Americans call it POOL, on television before so what in your right mind would allow you to judge someone who is giving a very simple technique that probably 80% of the players I coached started off doing.

  12. MrXenophobe says:

    This says BILLIARDS …
    This says BILLIARDS ??? lessons for beginners ??? LOL Billiards is a WHOLE different game. And a VERY skilled one at that. This is POOL. A very simple game played by drunks and Americans ;-) And that first bridge he shows whereby the cue goes through a “hole” made with his index finger has got to be the worst possible way of holding a cue for a shot. Bar holding it with your feet of course ;-)

    if you shoot with right/left english, do you move your bridge hand to match the contact point? or you keep your bridge hand in the center of the ball and shoot “sideways”?

    What about putting spin on it? Aren’t you supposed to angle the cue a little for like backspin or keep it level and hit it low?

    Important lesson but he never explains why you need a level cue. If the cue is not level you will have a tendancy to masse the cueball and it will not follow a straight path and will not strike the object ball in the spot you were intending.

    that really depends on the way you do it if you dont do it that way like me this dont help shiet

    mmmmm take one shot at a time, this will give players time to work it out. Also the terminology for players raising the cue at the back is called “Seasawing” common habit for many players
