cue tip
Billiard stick end
The cue tip is the small leather pad at the end of a pool cue that makes contact with the ball.
Tips vary in hardness—softer tips grip the cue ball better for spin shots, while harder tips offer more consistent strikes.
Players chalk the tip before shots to increase friction and prevent miscues.
