The term 'billiard stick' is often referred to as a CUE. A CUE is a long, slender stick used to strike the CUE ball in billiards and other CUE sports. It is usually made of wood, but can also be made of fiberglass or graphite. The tip of the CUE is usually covered with leather or rubber to provide a better grip on the ball. The length of the CUE varies depending on the game being played, but is typically between 57 and 59 inches.
