Description
The Steady Shot is a patented handheld pool bridge to assist people with movement disorders like Cerebral Palsy, Parkinson’s, and Essential Tremor. It can aid people who have had their bridge hand compromised from arthritis, a stroke, missing digits, or any other process that has disabled their billiards bridge hand. The Steady Shot can help beginners or anyone looking for a competitive edge. An added bonus is no more messy talcum powder from a sweaty hand because the device creates a smooth non-skin contacting stroke surface. The 4 notches allow the completion of almost any shot a player is faced with. Trouble shooting over balls? Turn it around and use the notched higher end to allow for an easier stroke. No more trembling fingers from trying to make a raised bridge. The higher notch can also be used for a masse shot. Can’t shoot off the rail? The lower notched end supplies a smooth even stroke off the rail or over a pocket. Its middle 2 notches can be used for all types of shots including but not limited to draws, kicks, banks, and masse. Shot possibilities are endless. The Steady Shot is so compact it will fit in most pool cue cases.

Jumping
A few people have asked about jumping a ball utilizing The Steady Shot. Though not intended for jumping I tried to see if I could make it happen. By enlarging the opening for the bottom notch while adding an angled notch to the last finger hole, I’ve been able to jump a ball(s). When turned on its side, gripping the “higher end” in your hand, you have the angled notch in the last finger hole that guides your cue for jumping.
It’s not a catch-all for everyone. I jump using the dart method and it works for me. My son and some others who use the full grip method find it’s not tall enough. We use the same jump cue, a Jumper by Jacoby Custom Cues. I like the finger groove which is perfect for the dart method and my son likes the bell end for a full grip. It’s not the cue restricting the jump but possibly the jumping style.
If you want the “jump notch” added it will be an additional $10. I’ll also need about 4 days, hopefully less, to make your custom Steady Shot.
