Pool Cues, Pool Sticks and Cue Sticks

 

Ask any great player and they'll tell you that the most import piece of equipment that a pool player can own would is a pool cue.  The modern two-piece pool cue has been around for over a century.  The pool cue actually started as a "mace", which was an instrument that had a club-like end and the player would simply scoot, shove or hit the cueball with as they desired.  The o­ne-piece cue as we know it today when a leather tip was added at o­ne end so to decrease miscues. chalk soon followed aftwerwards and the evolution of english and spin took over the imagination of the players. 

ImagePlayers soon decided to travel with their own cues, since they noticed that they played better with a familiar instrument, and the two-piece cue became an overnight necessity.  About that time, cuemakers invented methods to secure the two pieces of the cue.  This spawned the invention of several modern-day joints that pool cues use today.  Several advancements have been made to enhance the pool cue and it's playing characteristics, but for the most part all cues have the same elements of construction; butt, shaft, joint, tip and ferrule.

Pool Table Felt and Cloth E-mail

Pool Table Felt and Cloth

Pool table cloth, or pool table felt, has been around for centuries.  The basics of having a cloth surface o­n a pool table started because the table looked more appealing, the balls rolled true, the wear and tear o­n the table itself was reduced and the sounds were muffled.  Many refer to pool table cloth as pool table felt because most of the early pool table cloth was very “nappy” or fuzzy.  This is the difference in the two styles of pool table cloth that exist.  The two styles are directional (close up pictured to right) and non-directional.  Directional cloth is very fuzzy where non-directional pool table cloth is not.
