The Bridge Hand Mistake Costing You Pots

In this video, I explain how to build a better bridge hand in pool and show three simple steps that can make you more accurate, improve your cue action, and help you pot more balls. I cover why the bridge hand is so important, how to create a stable open bridge, how to lock your thumb into position, and how bridge distance affects cue ball control, power, spin, and accuracy. You’ll also learn when to adjust your bridge for backspin, topspin, soft roll-up snookers, shots near the cushion, and awkward shots where you need to bridge over another ball. Whether you play UK pool, blackball, 8-ball pool, snooker, or billiards, this pool technique lesson will help you improve your bridge hand, cue delivery, cue ball control, potting consistency, and overall shot accuracy. 🏷️ Discounts Get 10% off all Onboard Sportswear items https://onboardsportswear.com/DAVIDROSS Get 5% off all Ultimate Pool items - including the Rasson Apollo, Dynasphere balls and the CPBA 820 cloth https://ultimatepoolshop.com/discount/POOLTIPS Get 10% off everything at Table Time Sports and free access to my exclusive Pool Tips Masterclass Add "POOLTIPS10" to checkout at https://tabletimesports.com 👕My Clothing Range https://onboardsportswear.com/collections/pool-tips-store 🌳 Equipment I use US Amazon - https://amzn.to/4jwkH2g UK Amazon - https://amzn.to/3SA5JgH ☕ How to support the channel https://patreon.com/PoolTips101 https://buymeacoffee.com/wholelottatx 🏷️ My Sponsors 🎱On Cue World specialising in Blackball tables, a huge range of cues and loads of other accessories.
