A low-style bridge head - the opposite problem to a spider. It keeps the cue almost flat for shots tight against a cushion, where a standard rest sits too high and forces you to strike down on the ball when you need to strike level.

Product description

About this product

Billiards Cue Bridge Head – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Dar es Salaam.

A low-style bridge head for cue rests.

This is the third of the rest heads and it solves the opposite problem to a spider. When the cue ball is tight against a cushion, the rail gets in the way of a normal bridge hand – but a standard cross rest sits too high and forces the cue into a downward angle. Striking down on a cue ball you need to hit level makes it hop off the cloth and skid rather than roll, and the shot goes nowhere near where it was aimed.

A low head sits the cue almost flat to the table, which is the whole point. It lets you play a cushion-tight ball with a level cue and a proper stroke rather than a stab.

Between the three heads you cover the three problems a bridge exists to solve: a cross rest for shots you cannot reach, a spider for shots you cannot get over, and a low head for shots you cannot get flat to. A club table wants all three; a home table will manage with a cross rest and one of the others.

It screws onto a standard rest handle. Use it as you would any rest: lay it flat, hold the handle still with your free hand, and stroke with the cue hand palm-up.

Check the feet occasionally – a rest head with damaged plastic dragged across cloth is what marks cloth.

Questions

Good to know

When do I need a rest?

The first time you face a shot you cannot reach while keeping a hand on the table, which on a full-size table happens within the first frame. Stretching across the table is how players lose their stroke, foul the cue ball and mark the cloth with a sleeve.

What is the difference between the rest heads?

A standard cross rest supports the cue at a normal height for most shots. A swan rest, sometimes called a spider, holds the cue much higher so you can play over an intervening ball. A low head does the opposite - it keeps the cue almost flat for shots tight against a cushion. Different problems, different tools.

How do I use a rest properly?

Lay the rest flat on the cloth with the head just behind and to one side of the cue ball, rest the cue in the notch, and stroke with the cue held palm-up rather than palm-down. Keep the rest still with your other hand - most bad rest shots are a rest that moved.

Will it mark the cloth?

It should not, if it is laid flat and the tips are intact. What does mark cloth is a rest with a damaged or missing plastic foot, dragged rather than lifted. Check the feet occasionally and replace a rest whose plastic has broken away.

Do I need more than one?

On a full-size table, most clubs keep a cross rest and a spider as a minimum, because the shot you cannot reach and the shot you cannot get over are different problems. On a small home table, one rest will cover most of it.

Which handle length?

A rest head screws onto a handle, and most handles are cue length. On a full-size snooker table a long rest is useful for the far end of the table - if that is your situation, ask us and we will confirm what we have.

What length cue should I buy?

The standard is 57 to 58 inches, which suits most adults. If you are much taller than average, a 58 inch cue or an extension is worth having; for a child, a shorter cue is genuinely easier to control. The other question is joint: a one-piece cue plays best but does not travel, which is why most players use a two-piece or three-quarter jointed cue.

Do you deliver in Dar es Salaam?

Yes. We deliver across Dar es Salaam and send nationwide to Arusha, Moshi, Mwanza, Dodoma, Zanzibar and beyond by courier. A table is a heavy two-person item, so tell us when you order and we will arrange the right transport and talk through access.
