Tilt: (Also known as the tip) The part of the cue stick that contacts the cue ball when it strikes; made of high-quality leather.
Plier: Made of plastic or metal, it connects the wooden section to the tip and protects the cue stick.
Front Section: The thinner front half of the cue stick, usually made of hardwoods like maple.
Upper Ring: Buffers the impact of the contact surface with the center wheel, preventing the front section from cracking.
Center Wheel: Connects the front and rear sections, buffering the impact between them.
Lower Ring: Buffers the impact of the contact surface with the center wheel, preventing the rear section from cracking.
Rear Section: The thicker rear half of the cue stick, often made of maple, walnut, ebony, oak, or black ebony.
Grip: Mostly made of wound thread; high-end cues may use leather to prevent slippage.
Rubber Tip: The rubber part at the butt end of the cue stick, usually containing a weight screw for adjustment.
Label: Embedded at the butt end of the cue stick, usually round, but can also be square or other shapes, used to indicate brand information, etc. Some cue sticks also have markings directly carved or stamped on the raw wood.
Extended handles (also known as extension handles, small back handles, or back seats) are accessories, divided into fixed-length wooden extended handles and retractable metal extended handles. Most brand-name billiard cues come with extended handles, but some require separate purchase.
Note: The interface specifications of extended handles from most brands are incompatible; only original manufacturer extended handles can be used.
