List of 11 Billiard Pool Equipment’s

Pool Cue

TGA SPORTS Hardwood Billiard Pool Cue Stick

A pool cue is a long, thin piece of wood, or other material, which is used by a pool player for hitting the ball into the various pockets on a pool table. The tip of the pool cue is very sharp. It is used to stab the leather-covered ball and send it flying into the various pockets on the pool table. 

There are various kinds of cues, including English cues, American cues, aluminum cues, steel-shafted cues, and graphite shafted cues. An important feature of a good pool cue is that it has a solid, heavy shaft and a straight, strong, tight spiral curl to it.

The tip of the cue should be sharpened to a fine point. It should also have a nice, soft leather grip on it. It is very important that you buy a good quality pool cue. If you buy a cheap one, you will soon find out that it is not really a good quality cue. 

Pool Balls
