    This is more commonly called an open bridge.

    @tdblade if there’s no gap in between, you then place the bridge behind both the balls. it’s a tougher shot coz you can only hit the top of the cueball and it’s harder to control a shot like that.

    what if there is no gap in bwetween the cue ball and the ball behind it

    i kinda of agree, becuz what he did was an amateur move, u would place ur bridge behind the ball that is in ur way and hit with the cue.

    I’d run this fool’s pockets dry and I’m only 19.

    Here’s my advice, don’t take his lessons seriously, they’re rubbish.

    Take your ad hominim arguments elsewhere, or do you have to look that up?

    You likely wouldn’t scratch there; but, I know how easy it is to foul by touching a ball with your bridge hand when jacked-up like that.

    Ah, those little you tube potshots.

    Shut up.

    Doesn’t sound very promising when he calls the cue a stick does it:P

  14. alexkg1 on October 2, 2011 at 4:30 pm

    i don’t think he was aiming to make anything…other than to not scratch

  15. nateunit90210 on October 2, 2011 at 4:31 pm
