Pool Cue Maintenance

The game of pool is also known as pocket billiards. It involves a cue and a certain number of balls. The game is played on a table with six pockets. Using the cue, balls have to be pocketed in one of these pockets. There are many versions of the pool game involving a different number of balls. Some of the pool games are eight-ball, nine-ball, straight pool and pocket pool. Pool is similar to snooker and billiards but the table size is smaller in pool.

The cue is one of the most important pieces of pool equipment. Without a cue, a player will not be able to play the game. When the game originated years ago, players didn’t use a pool cue, they used a mace instead. This was similar to a lightweight golf club. The mace posed its own set of problems and gradually the cue came into the picture. Until recently, the mace was used along side the cue. In the present scenario, pool cues are normally 57 inches long weighing 510 to 600 grams. One end of the cue is thick which is meant to be gripped. The other end is used for striking. The striking end tapers to a size of 0.4 to 0.55 inches and is called the ferrule. The ferrule is typically made of fibreglass, brass or composite material.
