The elevated bridge is a variation of the open bridge. You normally use this type of bridge when there is another ball obstructing the cue ball (as shown below). When doing an elevated bridge it is important that you have a stable base for your cue stick. Make sure to balance your hand so that it will not move as you take the shot.
The Mechanical Bridge
And last but not least, there's the mechanical bridge. This is normally used as the last resort whenever it is virtually impossible to use the other types of bridges. A mechanical bridge is normally used for shots that are too far for you to reach. It serves as an extension of your arm.
Below is a video demonstration of this lesson.

One of the hardest bridges that I needed to learn was the pocket bridge. It doesn't often happen that this bridge is needed but, when it does you should be more prepared then I was my first couple of years playing. I'm not very good at describing this bridge and I have no way to take any picures so maybe you folks out there who can help will do so.
