Welcome to the billiard, pool, and snooker glossary of terms. This is the definition of Bridge as it relates to cue sports. You can also view the entire billiard dictionary.
A bridge is what the cue rests on during the stroke. It can mean using the front hand to control the shaft of the cue during the aiming, stroke, and follow through of a billiard shot. When using a hand bridge, the shooter can rest the cue between the thumb and index finger for an open bridge or he or she can rest the cue on their thumb with their index finger wrapped over the top for a closed bridge. A bridge can also be accomplished by using a mechanical bridge.
I don't want the bridge to ruin the cue shaft on my new cue, so I always use a hand bridge.
