ABSTRACT:
A pool cue comprising a handle with standard taper section, a straight shaft section with tip at the end thereof, and a slidable sleeve disposed on the straight shaft section. An o-ring resides in a groove at the tip to prevent the slidable sleeve from falling off of the pool cue when the tip thereof is pointed downward. The tip o-ring can be detached to permit removal and/or replacement of the sleeve. A plurality of o-rings resides in grooves at the handle end of the straight shaft, approximately at the middle of the pool cue. The o-rings may be of the same diameter as the inner diameter of the sleeve, or alternately, slightly larger than the inner diameter of the sleeve, wherein the o-rings increase in diameter towards the handle. The sleeve can be positioned over the plurality of o-rings, wherein it is retained either by friction or interference.
