Yeah, I have not seen the bridge used this way either... and never thought to do it, I guess because I am usually stretched way out when I need it. This is pretty neat run!

I notice that you stroke the same way you would if you were making the bridge with your fingers. You don't use the elbow out in line with the shoulder stance that most snooker players use with a mechanical bridge. Personal choice or do you see a real benefit? Thanks.
IN this video, I was trying to use the mechanical bridge instead of my own bridge - so I shot all of the shots as if the mechanical bridge wasn't there. 99.999% of the time, I use the traditional set up. I have a lot of respect for wheelchair players that are forced to use the bridge on almost all of their shots.This was much harder to do than I thought it would be.
@ffinken The ProJusta bridge head is my favourite, too. Apart from the versatility (can even use it to jump a ball one can't reach in the middle of the table), I particularly love that one can't possibly scratch or dent e.g. decades-old shafts of rare and costly custom cues, but go into the cue ball full throttle with confidence there going to be no harm whatsoever.

So what makes it better than similar bridges? Doesn't look as versatile as a Justa Bridge.
