Thanks for the input. I agree with the view that an overly long bridge holds back a lot of players. However, I wonder if there is just one top player in the world with such an excessively short bridge as 6-8 inches. Most Fargo players 700+ are somewhere between 10 and 13 inches. A bridge length of 6-8 inches makes aiming much harder especially for players who are all the way down on the cue. Not to mention that a smooth acceleration of the cue over just 6 inches requires excellent timing or else leads to jerking.

Another negative to extra long bridge length is deviation from intended contact point on the cue ball unless you have a perfectly straight stroke. With very long bridge lengths, small side-to-side motions off the shot line become amplified at the cue tip.

I've tried for the last 10 years to get my bridge length under 10". It ruins my ability to see the ball. I've had no luck. 35 years playing with a 13" bridge has really screwed me up. When you said 6-8" it broke my heart. Argh! I consider Jeremy Jones the most knowledgeable person in the game. His commentary is world class for sure. Surely there is room for a longer bridge. Look at Chris Melling. Likely why I'm destined to be stuck below 600 Fargo.

Just a very minor comment on hand position: 90 degrees is where one wants to be at contact with the cue ball since it is where maximum acceleration occurs. Problem is, it’s dangerous to come too close to the cue ball during practice strokes. We’re all different, but I maintain a about an inch distance since I’ve given up a ball-in-hand foul before by touching the cue ball in my warm-up. Could be just me, but here ya go… I think we should be back from the 90 degree elbow bend equal to the distance between our tip and cue ball during our practice strokes. Again, a very minor observation but while attempting to straighten out my stroke and deliver max acceleration at contact with the cue ball with good follow through, I’ve found this to be helpful. This may have to be conscious at first but it will become muscle memory very quickly.

I had a lesson with allison, and she recommended a 10" bridge. Im not questioning her at all, but it just feels a bit long for me and feels like things can get out of control. Im going to try jeremys 8". I actually put a tiny piece of tape to mark the spot on the shaft, and check in a mirror where the proper 90 degree spot is at for the grip hand with that bridge length. Once you know that, then on shots where you need to shorten or lengthen the bridge, you just proportionally move the grip hand up or down from your default spot, hence always maintaining that 90 degree pivot point

Question, instead of putting the tape on your shaft, why not put a tiny strip on/around the butt where your pointer finger of your back hand is supposed to be, if you know where your hand should be in order to have a 6-8" bridge? Just asking because me personally, i would much rather have tape on the butt rather than the shaft.

Is this a billiard secret? I’ve noticed in my playing that if I choke up my back hand and shorten my bridge length, I get more tip accuracy on the cue ball and less power. Or if I choke down with my back hand and make my bridge length longer I get more power and less tip accuracy on the cue ball. Usually, I’m somewhere in between the extremes but realizing those things are connected has allowed me to keep a more consistent arm speed while getting different results. And helps to keep me from gripping the cue tightly on power shots. Also, because I change both back hand and bridge hand location, my hands are always the same distance from each other. I haven’t seen or heard anyone talk about this. Is this a thing anyone else has experimented with? And what are your thoughts?
@janetairlines1351

Try it. Mark your shaft between 6 to 8" like jeremy said, then use a mirror to find out where you need to grip the cue butt to form 90" with that bridge length. It adds consistancy to your game.

3:40.....stop, i heard enough. Jeremy, I've been privileged to much of your commentary game theory analysis, good stuff. Even better is the fact, your last two or three balls needed against T-Rex in the finals of a accustat one pocket tournament for the win, where each shot i distinctly remember, needing a particular penetration or "pure stroke" in order to satisfy what was the specific demand of those shots, because a immediate effect on the cb was mandatory, based on those shot relationships, that you were clearly aware of, thus a emphasized and or deliberate smooth acceleration speed was applied and I noted that not only did you keep your thoughts clear in that very demanding moments, but it showed how aware you were of physics needed and therefore, output applied and success, because each shot, i myself knew the requirements and I was very impressed that imo, there is no doubt you understand what im saying 100%, ill bet 20k just on your word saying you agree, because I know you wouldn't lie for that amount and since you don't stand to lose any money in the process because it's not a bet, it's meerly a money where my mouth is proposition that ill take on any takers who wanna ultimately say you are a liar.... You didnt just go up and shoot those last few shots like others typically, those last few definitely had a higher demand criteria, you satisfied the equation each time, it was obvious you were aware....end of story. You are a deserving champion, a pool expert, end of story. But your instructional explanation here and theorems, are not your forte. It's 2 dimensional at best and or good explanation of perhaps what you do or try to do or sort of do in ideal thought process and feel and execution being the ultimate favorable outcome due to xyz etc ....i get it. But stroke and or delivery of the stick, is 3 dimensional. Your explanations up to the 3:40 mark means nothing unless the final component of, and I admit at the same time, IT DEPENDS, on: RELATION TO WHAT ...and that key point, various in fact, is completely moot per your examples. First of all, there must be a established solitary fact, that the forearm as part of the apparatus/mechanism, is the only locomotive function that has the ability to achieve actual velocity in acceleration terms. Therefore, if we have a long distance zero angle relationship and we need to power draw the cue ball back to our launch point of origin, we have to find consensus, not in applicable terms of a line function of V². No. We need to find consensus, that it is silly to think or theorize or express in methodological mindset or safeguard terms, that sole or pure gravitational arch swing travel, even for the sake of preventative tension, is going to be enough impetus in order to satisfy the field vector demand criteria of needed speed of the stick as a mass in motion and ultimately a energy transmitter that communicates a recognized signal transmission, of the container being the CB and it's uncompromising obedience to what is now the only true moot point, that everything of relative importance, was and is .... history now, as the cb container now only does what has been recognized, and our idealism only, is what exactly does it take in order to achieve maximum and most efficiently clear communication ie; energy transmission. For what you expressed as a stutter or stop of holding too far back, you should be referring to it as a unideal oscillation or what I prescribe in official occurrence as a "diminished vector”....but I digress. We have to establish the fact in stone, that this notion of loose or relaxed etc etc is insanely ambiguous even if one key point of relation or relative to....elbow alignment, ...spine angle ...inside hip position ...etc etc AND any of the associated important key points in relation to: abc = now relative to xyz success ÷ ....(this is why it's so complex and not a complete equation even if 3rd dimension is now properly introduced) therefore, abc = xyz success ÷ it still depends (?)² The preshot routine ÷ abc satisfied = xyz success BUT it's still divided by and this is fact, especially for a long distance power draw, that a gravitational impetus along a radius and or elliptical line of desention = mass × V² criterium satisfied....is silly. Therefore we always have, no matter what, a force dynamics creation that equals: it still depends, AND NOW a exponential value curve demand of regression back to the abc = xyz success is now always in question MULTIPLIED and therefore, we create the energy criteria through muscle contraction and these notions of loose or relaxed is a relevant point, forever in unsatisfied flux, because no matter what, even with mechanical machines with electrical or combustion induced locomotion,there is always and no matter what: SOME VOODOO ASSOCIATED ...and therefore: "When one gets down on a billiard shot☝🏻....ONE!..NEVER KNOWS!!!” ....feel mein power. Thus, the optimal idealism is the structural alignment creation in order to facilitate the highest probability for success in a never satisfied equation in flux, for what is in relation to success, because it always depends on the energy creation we communicate with in a never satisfied realm of only the cb container, dictates after the fact of wether or not it recognized your language and definitely not in no way shape or form and without compromise or mercy EVER , a understanding of god like and or universe size equivalent of intention. Nobody sincerely and in all honesty, when it counts, wishes or intended to miss...that is about the only secondary fact in pool that is arguably unarguable. Jeremy, sit down, there doesnt have to be more...there is more... infinitely more. So much more, you look silly and thats the problem, because you're not. So sit your ass down. You cant be champion in 3 disciplines when 2 is very difficult...be happy with 2 and sit your monkey ass down you fat bastard....❤

JJ should quit working for others. If JJ starts his own channel and skips all the beginner stuff, with his game knowledge he has the potential to create exclusive, top-quality content for intermediate/advanced audience. I'm afraid the current format might be too limiting for him and the effort will be lost among other thousands of videos on how to make a bridge. For real, with his network JJ can do what Stephen Hendry is doing in snooker and invite world-class players to share their wisdom in a casual setting.

Instruction sounds like a better word than coaching does. It ain't football, boys and girls. And I agree with part one, the grip. 90% of all shots. However I and pros I have seen also use a tighter grip depending on shot circumstances... that 10%. On part two, I disagree, and I'll go with what Willie Mosconi had to say on this. He says six or eight inches behind the stick's balance point. From there, the players stance over the ball is where the shooter achieves the ninety degree matchup between contact moment and arm angle. The differences from that standard method being long shots where the player moves back on the stick butt or even adds an extension and often increases bridge length as well. Shot methods I rarely do, and nobody used any extensions back in Willie's day. On part three: The reason a long bridge is bad is because any variation from a co-linear stroke gets amplified at the tip contact point more than a short bridge. That means that the shorter bridges are more accurate with players that do not have a true stroke and why those same players miss long bridge shots. And even some really good players do not always sport a true stroke. You kept referencing power and that is not why the ninety degree position is desirable. It is shot mechanics. One's true stroke is at the cue ball contact point when the arm is at ninety because that is where one's learned stroke and the arc of that stroke are most likely to be co-linear with the desired shot, and that is how we aim up the shot as well (except the dopes that aim right at the bottom of the cue ball right up until their last aiming stroke). Your "bad things" you say certain shot methods cause is not very definitive either.

Even better is the fact, your last two or three balls needed against T-Rex in the finals of a accustat one pocket tournament for the win, where each shot i distinctly remember, needing a particular penetration or "pure stroke" in order to satisfy what was the specific demand of those shots, because a immediate effect on the cb was mandatory, based on those shot relationships, that you were clearly aware of, thus a emphasized and or deliberate smooth acceleration speed was applied and I noted that not only did you keep your thoughts clear in that very demanding moments, but it showed how aware you were of physics needed and therefore, output applied and success, because each shot, i myself knew the requirements and I was very impressed that imo, there is no doubt you understand what im saying 100%, ill bet 20k just on your word saying you agree, because I know you wouldn't lie for that amount and since you don't stand to lose any money in the process because it's not a bet, it's meerly a money where my mouth is proposition that ill take on any takers who wanna ultimately say you are a liar.... You didnt just go up and shoot those last few shots like others typically, those last few definitely had a higher demand criteria, you satisfied the equation each time, it was obvious you were aware....end of story. You are a deserving champion, a pool expert, end of story. But your instructional explanation here and theorems, are not your forte. It's 2 dimensional at best and or good explanation of perhaps what you do or try to do or sort of do in ideal thought process and feel and execution being the ultimate favorable outcome due to xyz etc ....i get it. But stroke and or delivery of the stick, is 3 dimensional. Your explanations up to the 3:40 mark means nothing unless the final component of, and I admit at the same time, IT DEPENDS, on: RELATION TO WHAT ...and that key point, various in fact, is completely moot per your examples. First of all, there must be a established solitary fact, that the forearm as part of the apparatus/mechanism, is the only locomotive function that has the ability to achieve actual velocity in acceleration terms. Therefore, if we have a long distance zero angle relationship and we need to power draw the cue ball back to our launch point of origin, we have to find consensus, not in applicable terms of a line function of V². No. We need to find consensus, that it is silly to think or theorize or express in methodological mindset or safeguard terms, that sole or pure gravitational arch swing travel, even for the sake of preventative tension, is going to be enough impetus in order to satisfy the field vector demand criteria of needed speed of the stick as a mass in motion and ultimately a energy transmitter that communicates a recognized signal transmission, of the container being the CB and it's uncompromising obedience to what is now the only true moot point, that everything of relative importance, was and is .... history now, as the cb container now only does what has been recognized, and our idealism only, is what exactly does it take in order to achieve maximum and most efficiently clear communication ie; energy transmission. For what you expressed as a stutter or stop of holding too far back, you should be referring to it as a unideal oscillation or what I prescribe in official occurrence as a "diminished vector”....but I digress. We have to establish the fact in stone, that this notion of loose or relaxed etc etc is insanely ambiguous even if one key point of relation or relative to....elbow alignment, ...spine angle ...inside hip position ...etc etc AND any of the associated important key points in relation to: abc = now relative to xyz success ÷ ....(this is why it's so complex and not a complete equation even if 3rd dimension is now properly introduced) therefore, abc = xyz success ÷ it still depends (?)² The preshot routine ÷ abc satisfied = xyz success BUT it's still divided by and this is fact, especially for a long distance power draw, that a gravitational impetus along a radius and or elliptical line of desention = mass × V² criterium satisfied....is silly. Therefore we always have, no matter what, a force dynamics creation that equals: it still depends, AND NOW a exponential value curve demand of regression back to the abc = xyz success is now always in question MULTIPLIED and therefore, we create the energy criteria through muscle contraction and these notions of loose or relaxed is a relevant point, forever in unsatisfied flux, because no matter what, even with mechanical machines with electrical or combustion induced locomotion,there is always and no matter what: SOME VOODOO ASSOCIATED ...and therefore: "When one gets down on a billiard shot☝🏻....ONE!..NEVER KNOWS!!!” ....feel mein power. Thus, the optimal idealism is the structural alignment creation in order to facilitate the highest probability for success in a never satisfied equation in flux, for what is in relation to success, because it always depends on the energy creation we communicate with in a never satisfied realm of only the cb container, dictates after the fact of wether or not it recognized your language and definitely not in no way shape or form and without compromise or mercy EVER , a understanding of god like and or universe size equivalent of intention. Nobody sincerely and in all honesty, when it counts, wishes or intended to miss...that is about the only secondary fact in pool that is arguably unarguable. Jeremy, sit down, there doesnt have to be more...there is more... infinitely more. So much more, you look silly and thats the problem, because you're not. So sit your ass down. You cant be champion in 3 disciplines when 2 is very difficult...be happy with 2 and sit your monkey ass down you fat bastard....❤
Armchair warriors in the comment section talking shit to a guy who could give them the 6 and rob them.
Key fundamental, the shot clock does not stop when you have the cue balls cleaned :) Just kidding ... too soon?

Good one.
*Says a LONG Bridge is no good. Stay at 6-8 inches from cueball. Well....a LONG Bridge works well for Efren and all the Asian Players and mostly all the Pros today*
JJ should quit working for others. If JJ starts his own channel and skips all the beginner stuff, with his game knowledge he has the potential to create exclusive, top-quality content for intermediate/advanced audience. I'm afraid the current format might be too limiting for him and the effort will be lost among other thousands of videos on how to make a bridge. For real, with his network JJ can do what Stephen Hendry is doing in snooker and invite world-class players to share their wisdom in a casual setting.
Can you detail for me Jeremy how you would have run out Earl Strickland, that time you called him outside, please?

JJ has like a 7 foot wingspan.. Guy can slap you from around the corner..
The worst coach in the history of the mosconi cup!! And they still inviting him back....Is the Europeans voting for him???? Stick With commentary!! Thats what your good at!!!!!!

JJ went 5-2 as a Cup player.. It ain’t the coach, man.. It’s the pathetic state of American pool..
Instruction sounds like a better word than coaching does. It ain't football, boys and girls. And I agree with part one, the grip. 90% of all shots. However I and pros I have seen also use a tighter grip depending on shot circumstances... that 10%. On part two, I disagree, and I'll go with what Willie Mosconi had to say on this. He says six or eight inches behind the stick's balance point. From there, the players stance over the ball is where the shooter achieves the ninety degree matchup between contact moment and arm angle. The differences from that standard method being long shots where the player moves back on the stick butt or even adds an extension and often increases bridge length as well. Shot methods I rarely do, and nobody used any extensions back in Willie's day. On part three: The reason a long bridge is bad is because any variation from a co-linear stroke gets amplified at the tip contact point more than a short bridge. That means that the shorter bridges are more accurate with players that do not have a true stroke and why those same players miss long bridge shots. And even some really good players do not always sport a true stroke. You kept referencing power and that is not why the ninety degree position is desirable. It is shot mechanics. One's true stroke is at the cue ball contact point when the arm is at ninety because that is where one's learned stroke and the arc of that stroke are most likely to be co-linear with the desired shot, and that is how we aim up the shot as well (except the dopes that aim right at the bottom of the cue ball right up until their last aiming stroke). Your "bad things" you say certain shot methods cause is not very definitive either.
