A Cue Divided
Every Pool Cue has five main parts:
Part One: The Tip
- Tip
- Ferrule
- Shaft
- Joint
- Butt
- Arguably the most important part of the cue
- Typically made from leather or a synthetic fiber
- 3 types of tips: Soft, Medium and Hard
- The softer the tip, the less durable
- Important to have a rounded tip when shooting and a flatter tip when breaking
- Absorbs the impact of a shot
- Most are made of linen fiber, Ivorine, Aegis
- Best ones are made of Ivory
Part Two: The Ferrule
Part 5: The Butt (Ha)
- The part you hold on to when shooting
- Where most of the detail is located
- Made as the same material as the shaft with inlays(designs in material) or outlays(decals)
- Typically glossed to protect against use
- Wrap provides grip for the player
- can be made of Nylon, Irish Linen, or Imitation/Real leather
- Below wrap is the Butt Sleeve with more In/Out-lays
- On the bottom is the bumper which is made of rubber and helps to absorb the impact of the shot and protect the bottom of the cue
