Any incomplete quads with limited dexterity mastered playing pool? If so, any tips you think you could give? I'm terrible! Haha.

My hubby uses the bridge to make all of his shots. He'll set down the bridge and set his pool stick on top and shoot that way.

I'm a para, but enjoy the game very much. The idea of using the bridge is a good one, and one I use almost exclusively. It's kinda hard to give tips unless one knows what you have to work with. Cervical incompletes vary so much in abilities.

I also have a bridge that I place on the table,, it has no stick attached,, just a loop above the "V" that I use to pick it up after the shot. If you only have use of one arm,, this might be of help.

Thanks for the suggestions! I never knew bridges came stick-less (shows what I know). I'll have to look around for one at Big 5 or Sports Authority. edlee, I'm trying to mentally picture exactly what you're describing on ways it would stand up independently with the stick absent. I'm a little confused, care to elaborate how this could be possible?
