Pool strikers, also known as pool cues, are long sticks used to strike the cue ball in a game of pool. They come in a variety of sizes and materials, and are usually made of wood, fiberglass, or graphite. The tip of the cue is usually covered with leather or rubber to help with accuracy when striking the ball. Pool strikers are essential for playing pool, and are used to hit the cue ball in order to pocket other balls.
