prefer the second option. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">And between using a bridge (bridge) open or closed, I opted for the former. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align:

will look at <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">the pros and cons of each type of bridge. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">So you can choose the style that best suits

href=\"http:\/\/www.kozoom.com\/es\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">David Mu\u00f1oz<\/font><\/font><\/a> &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Advantages and disadvantages of open bridge<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Since childhood I learned to play with the open bridge and this is my preferred position for the supporting hand. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you&#8217;re just starting in this snooker, you&#8217;ll notice that it is much easier to learn how to properly use the open to the closed bridge. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">That is, for me, the first big advantage.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">After 15 years of experience, the index finger and thumb are placed alone effortlessly automatic. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">But getting to that point takes a lot of <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">practice. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Most importantly , <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">they are stuck with each other and form a stable &#8220;channel&#8221;. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">That imaginary line is where you go taco arrow. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">That line for me is sacred and always try to <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">keep both for kicks, <\/font><\/font><em><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">stuns<\/font><\/font><\/em><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> or corridos. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">All you have to do is tilt more or less the four fingers in <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">front depending on where you <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">need to <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">hit the white.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">With the open bridge you avoid (or at least you reduce) the friction created fingers in contact with the cue, especially when wet or are prone to sweat. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Moreover, while you bend over a lot, you will always see where the arrow points, which is more difficult when you use a closed bridge (because your own hand you cover).<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">As you know, it is very important to maintain the more horizontal and parallel to the best table taco. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">To do this open bridge is very useful because it allows you to place virtually flat hand.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Okay David, but the bridge will open negatives too, no? <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Some, yes, but few. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you&#8217;re not able to create this imaginary line, paste both fingers as if you had put Super Glue and all that with a relaxed hand, the open bridge can be a disaster. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Another possible disadvantage is that the open is much harder to control the cleat can not move in extreme shots (when they strike hard, long kicks, etc.). <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">But the lords of snooker show us in every tournament that is more than possible to make super retro with the open bridge, so it will be a matter of more train.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Advantages and disadvantages of the closed bridge<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The closed bridge is most often used in carom and in certain regions pooleras option. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In the United States, for example, it is very often closed with a thousand and one variations they have. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Earl Strickland and Shane Van Boening are big proponents of this type of bridge.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The downside is that at first hard time finding a position that will be effective yet convenient. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It requires more learning time to take advantage. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">But when you succeed the closed bridge can give you more control, especially when you need to play with effects or corridos.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The great advantage of closed bridge is that fixed in the encoder. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you close either the bridge is hardly going to move the arrow. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Just worry to draw a straight shot back hand and not have problems.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The important thing is that the closed bridge block the arrow to prevent movement but turn free enough to let the journey is smooth and continuous. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">That is, there is no need to apply any force on the arrow. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you do, the movement will be unnatural and that will complicate the shot.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you use the closed bridge, trying to lose the most of the hand so that the taco is as stuck to the table and exit possible horizontal.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">And which I stay?<\/font><\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">I recommend the open bridge, but that&#8217;s your decision. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Again, there is no one better than another. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Each has its pros and cons. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Rate all the advantages and choose the one that best suits your game considering that you can, of course, make a mix. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">I, for example, use the 99% open shots and closed by 1%. <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Why do well to master both.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">And you, billiard player, do you play bridge with open or closed bridge? <\/font><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Leave your opinion in the
