A bridge is a device used in pool that allows you to extend your reach for shots that are awkward or difficult to reach.
1. Determine that the cue ball is too far to reach or at a bad angle.
2. Place the bridge lightly and carefully on the table. Do not bump the surrounding balls.
3. Position the bridge about five inches from the cue ball if possible.
4. Place the cue in the slot that allows you to strike the cue ball with the cue as level as possible and in the place on the cue ball you wish.
5. Hold the bridge flat on the table with one hand pressing it down.
6. Grasp the cue toward the end. Your arm should be bent and your thumb should face your body.
7. Strike the cue ball with a straight, even stroke and immediately lift the bridge and cue off the table.
