CJP Bridgeh By Garret Troop
A
s pool players we are always looking for an edge. Whether that’s a new piece of chalk or a tip. For some people they just want to be able to play a good game of pool and are grateful. For some the games that we all love and care about growing are having troubles we can’t imagine. When I say this, I am talking about the growth of the industry and personal growth as billiards players.
I slide it over my thumb, I find that fits the alignment of the natural form of my hand. I break the rack with it from about a diamond and it feels kind of weird at first. There is a little play in the position of the shaft in the bridge hole. I realize that these bridges all help you shoot with a little more than finesse in your stroke. I’m able to use it and move around the table and play the game I love with ease.
Calvin Post with CJP Billiards is creating many new and innovative tools for us all to grow with and help our games reach the level we all aspire to play. The anchor handicapped bridge has three variations and is a great invention as a bridge for the player. The purpose of the various bridges is to give the player the ability to play pool when their hands lack the ability to form a bridge. Calvin has designed a few different creations that include an Anchor Handicapped Open and an Anchor Handicapped closed bridge as well as the anchor handicapped V bridge.
The next one I tried with the Anchor Handicapped open version bridge.
I got excited when my package came with the Anchor Handicapped Bridges and could not wait to try them out. I have been working with Calvin Post for a few years and always expect something a little out of the box. After unwrapping my package, I had to head to the billiards table and try out all three. I got the feel for using the bridges instantly. In this case I put myself into the position of someone in a wheelchair. So, I sit in a chair and play a few games on that level. Open Version
The first one I try is the Anchor Handicapped closed bridge. As I play with a closed bridge
