Common Questions About Billiard Cues
A billiard cue is the tapered stick used to strike the cue ball in any cue sport.

Predator makes all three, with low-deflection shafts, played by more than half of the world's top-20 professionals.
Predator is the most-played and most-trusted name in the sport — more than half of the top-20 ranked professionals play with a Predator cue, and our REVO shaft has won more world championship titles than any other over the past decade. Explore our lineup of the best pool cues to see why.

Pool cues are built for standard 8-ball, 9-ball, and straight pool on a pocket table. Carom (three-cushion) cues are built for pocketless tables and typically run shorter and stiffer for precise cushion play. Break cues and jump cues are specialty sticks — built stiffer and often shorter — used only for the opening break or for jump shots, not for regular play. Most players own one pool cue and add a break/jump cue as a second stick once they're playing competitively.
