Fast Lenny said:Scott makes fun of me because of my terrible hand bridge but when he uses the mechanical bridge it is pretty funny to watch. A good deal of times I will see him switch to right handed instead of the bridge, he is actually right handed for those who did not know and plays lefty.
John Brumback said:Well I agree. I have never seen a top player hold the bridge like that.
Yes most good players hold It with fingers on top and palm down. That's not
textbook to say the least.lol John B.[/QUOTE
Thats howe I hold the bridge and the cue. Most player spire the shot. This is how we hold the cue stick in our hand. I dont no were that speririg tecneck came from..
THe way Scott is doing it is more natural and its easier too aim. THen looking over your hand. And the way he shoots it is youre naturale way you hold the cue.

I have to disagree with you Artie.The way Scott Is holding It,Is not the correct way to do It.It Is very wrong. Your friend,John B.

What makes it wrong and what is wrong about it?
And explain what you do and what makes youre wat correct.
And if Scotts way is not correct then your way must be correct.
These kind off replies need too be explained.So I can see what you are talking about and why you think its not the correcy way.
This is the way answers need too be explained. When thier are opposite opinions.

Well Artie..I can't draw It out on here but any good pool book shows the right way to shoot with a bridge. Did you ever go frog gigging when you were a kid? The bridge stick should never touch the palm of your hand. You were right while ago. You really do (spear) the shot.You have to shoot It with your fingers not your palm. No good player "except Scott Frost" would try or should try to shoot with his normal grip. I'll bet you don't use the bridge like Scott does.And I'v never seen you hit a ball. What are you going to do..Scoop It? LOL John B.
thats interestingFast Lenny said:he is actually right handed for those who did not know and plays lefty.

rafael nadal numder one in the world in tennis at the moment
also plays lefty but is a righty
would you comment on how you hold the cue when you use the bridge??Roy Steffensen said:I also plays lefty, but is right handed. Only use my left hand in pool.
When I use the bridge, I have to use my right hand, can't use my left hand. I almost never use it though, cause I have been practicing a lot playing right-handed vs left-handed.
When I use the jumpcue, I can use both right-hand and left-hand, so a little free advice if we ever play 9-ball. Don't try to push to a place where a left-handed guy can't jump, cause I'll just switch hand
PS: Mike Sigel and Roberto Gomez also plays with their "wrong" hand, and switch when they use the bridge

and on a percentage basis how many top players hold it like scott??

Hohmann in action.
