billiard cue

Table game wand

A billiard cue is the long, tapered stick used to strike balls in billiards, pool, and snooker.

The narrow end, called the tip, is chalked to prevent slipping on contact with the ball.

Cues range from simple one-piece sticks to high-end two-piece models with specialized shafts: She lined up the shot and drew back the cue.
