subject: Pool Cues and Other Accessories [print this page] There are many billiard and pool accessories which go hand in hand to make sure your pool cues are utilized correctly. These billiard and pool accessories also help in keeping the aesthetic look of pool cues. A pool cue is tapering rod which is used to strike a cue ball in the game of pool, billiards or carom billiards. It is also known as a cue stick or a snooker cue or simply a billiards cue. The performance of a pool cue is directly related to many smaller accessories and billiard equipment.
The detailed uses of all the pieces of equipments which go along with pool cues are discussed below.
Spare Cue Tips
The first part of your favorite pool cue showing signs of overuse is the tip. The tip starts getting deformed mostly at and around the edges. Before you finally replace the entire tip of your pool cue, you can trim the tip to enhance your overall performance and the experience of playing. Some glue (or any other form of adhesive), polish and a blade are required to replace the tip of a pool cue.
Pool Cue Chalk and Stuff
Make sure your pool cue is well chalked from time to time as without it even the best of shots would be weighed down. Your cue case should contain spare cubes (chalks come in cubes). Also, it is advised to check the tip regularly.
Cue Shaft Polish
Uneven spots on your cue shaft make it difficult for it to slide smoothly through our fingers, thereby affecting the overall performance. Good cue shaft polish should be kept handy.
Billiards Cue Case
A billiards cue case is nothing but a case which holds your billiard equipment. A billiards cue case helps you carry your equipment with ease apart from protecting your equipment from scratches, stains and other uneven marks. The cue case should be such that it should accommodate all your pool cues and it should also have many small and large sized pockets to store other necessary accessories required.
All these billiard and pool accessories are directly or indirectly involved in proper utilization and maintenance of your favorite pool cue.
