ABSTRACT:
A cue stick for use in the game of billiards having a one-piece ferrule-tip. The cue stick does not employ a conventional wood cue tip but rather has a modified ferrule-tip which serves as a resilient tip for striking a cue ball. The cue stick of the present invention has one embodiment for causing a struck cue ball to be jumped over an obstructing ball by elevating the handle of the cue stick to an appropriate height, which is lower than if a conventional cue stick were used, and striking the cue ball at an appropriate angle with an appropriate amount of force, which is less than if a conventional cue stick were used. The cue stick having a ferrule-tip of the present invention thus enables the player to strike a cue ball with a lower elevated angle and less force than with a conventional cue stick having a conventional tip, thereby facilitating the ball-jumping effect.
