THE LONDON BRIDGE
The London Bridge is a unique new product that enables pool players to play shots close to the side rail, over clusters of balls, catering for every shot variation that comes up during a game. The most significant feature of the London Bridge is the rubber grommet that allows a house cue to be inserted into it, giving extremely good rigidity while making shots. It is endorsed by world champions Allison Fisher and Daryl Peach, who stress that all players should carry their own London Bridge in their case so that they are not at the mercy of what is available hanging on the side of the table.

Billiard and Golf Game
Everyone who sees this wants to play it! The game is played by racking balls in a certain way, then keeping score by the number of "strokes" it takes to run the rack. Each "hole" is rated from par 3 to par 5. Up to four players can play at a time. The scoreboard is quite heavy and durable, weighing about 5 pounds. It measures a large 16 inches by 28 inches and is almost 1/2-inch thick. The dry-erase surface is simply wiped clean for the next game. "Billiard and Golf" comes with a white board marker and Velcro to attach the pen wherever is handy. To order, please contact CueSight at 800-660-2572, or log onto www.cuesight.com.
