APA Dr. Cue Instruction - Pool Lesson 4: The Closed Bridge

[tslabjr7]

when is a closed bridge used. i am hard of hearing and i never heard it in that video so if it is in there please forgive me.

[crackettt]

This might be a silly and vague question, but... If I find that my hand/cue is too sticky (happens with v bridge as well) to pull off a comfortable smooth stroke, does it mean I should put a glove on, or that my technique is all wrong? I actually like the frictionless feeling of the glove, but as a beginner, it believe it's a bit of a double-edged sword when it comes to accuracy.

[apaleagues]

@crackettt I would recommend you use a glove or the white hand chalk.

[playahayton]

@crackettt just rub a little chalk on your hand where your stick lays

[MrAUFANATIC]

i been shooting pool since i was 16. but i use a different technique.. i prop all my fingers up on the table and i slide the stick against my thumb and its the same...as long as u have white powder you should be good no matter how u shoot

[Adamterrific]

Thanks Dr. Cue. Your Terrific!

[MsnVidio]

xD dålig haha

[Daninater567]

is that a balabushka?

[orido01]

Thanks Dr. Cue. Your advice has helped me improve my game immensely.

No matter how much I try, I can't seem to be able to get my closed bridge good enough to get the accuracy to justify using it over the open bridge. I hope it does improve with time.

Actually if you watch lesson 3 and THEN lesson 4, you will notice that in lesson 3 he says "IMAGINE - that there is a drop of superglue between your thumb and your finger" - he is just carrying that forward into lesson 4. Of course nobody would advise you to *actually* superglue your fingers together!

[Monatee]

So, the closed grip offers control, accuracy but does not offer height for the cue stick, in that case, a tall open bridge grip is used

[flyculture21]

Dr. Cue your the man...Keep it up I'm actually getting alot better with your tips and instructions. You have a great deal of knowledge and you explain easilly in a universal way that reaches everyone.

[libertatus]

He's just kidding about the super-glue. At his clinics he's part comedian as well as phenomenal technician.

[ematt454]

F%$K! I wish I knew it was just a joke before the tournament last night. Now every one I see thinks im "OK"

[grime909]

is he kiding put super glue he stupid that may damage the skin

[VoxSweden]

I think you need bigger glasses, Dr. Cue

[hidden4est]

don't let your hand fall down, very helpful, it seems to bring your hold body into line.

[PharcydePhreak]

these videos fuckin rock. I'm actually picking up my game. :D

[1111111dave]

-----------------------NOTE---­------------------

It is very dangerous advice even if you are kidding, to suggest some one Super Glue there fingers together.

If some pore bastard tr-yes it he probably will need a doctor to cut his fingers apart.

[apaleagues]

Very true.

Hey kids! - The good Dr. Cue was kidding. Don't use super glue on your fingers.

[Petrikau]

Yep, don't do this at home. Only professionals can super glue their fingers.

[lifegiver36]

ahh thanks for the warning but its a little to late. I'm off to the hospital now.

[MuskyMan111]

@apaleagues Fingernail polish remover dissolves super glue

[Longie]

Haha yeah, of course he was kidding. However, if you guys tried it, you don't need a doctor, just some nail polish remover, dunk your fingers in it and the superglue will dissolve and you'll be unharmed (except for maybe your ego if you get busted)

[CadillacMatt95]

Acetone will do the trick pretty easy too but still not worth all the hassle ;)

[lvbohemian]

Ok, lets see... first somebody is going to superglue their fingers together because somebody says "Pretend" your fingers are super-glued together...

Anybody with over a double-digit IQ can comprehend the point being made...

Lack of common-sense = Darwin Awards... Natural Attrition.

What's that the comedian says?

You Can't Fix Stupid...

Dr. Cue is a Doctor of Billiardology, ESPN & World Masters Trick Shot Champion and having seen him play in person... as the saying goes is the real deal...

[CaptainJ4ck]

@1111111dave /watch?v=7PF0iK9eL4M

[poeticromance]

@1111111dave actually super glue doesn't adhere for a long enough time on skin to cause any alarm...

[boom1734]

@1111111dave So what? if the kids are stupid enough to do that, they deserve to get their fingers cut off and some more. its really that simple.

[themanitasdeplomo]

@1111111dave Only in the US are people stupid enough to actually follow an advice like that...

[zeronerz]

@1111111dave im confused....super glue doesn't rip skin..... unless the world has shitty girl skin then i dont know because i used to have crazy glue on my finger ofr project and i'd rip them bitches apart everytime.... after hearing the MYTH.... that's all it is.. its not very dangerous... jumping out of a play ins "very dangerous" don't get your words mixed up... we're not playing with guns here. just crazy glue... it's not that big of a deal

[DC1903]

...and thats according to mr.cue (gunshots in background, cue hits the floor)

[AJComixII]

JUST GLUE YOUR FUCKING FINGERS, YOU MORON.

And that's my joke for the day. Great videos though.

[daiton64]
