摘要

A billiard cue is provided comprising an elongate rod having a ball striking tip at a first end thereof, and a haft portion extending along one-third of the length of the rod from the second end thereof. The haft portion is wider than the tip and has a first tapered section narrowing toward the second end. In use in striking a ball, the cue may be held at a position along the haft portion closer to the second end than an associated widest part of the first tapered section.
