A cue for use in billiard games includes a removable weight system located in a bore in a butt section of the cue. The weight system includes a carrier having a length extending from a first end to a second end with one or more weights and two or more support washers supported on the carrier. A butt plate is secured to the first end of the carrier, the butt plate having a first end and a second end and including an opening extending from the fist end to the second end, the opening having a circular cross section at a second end for receiving the carrier of the weight system. The one or more weights and the two or more washers may be set at different locations along the length of the carrier.

The Rocket Launcher billiards cue stick has a unique design that offers a particular outcome we will refer to as Follow Through Technology. The middle of the cue (not to be limited to the joint of the pool cue), is less in size than any previously used size, thus promoting a proper extended follow through without breaking a close handed bridge. This creates the best performance with more power and speed while maintaining control of the pool cue.

An adapter assembly for use in the cue/billiards sports. The adapter assembly includes a first part, also referred to as a sleeve, and a second part, referred to as an adapter. The adapter assembly inserts into a hollow cue shaft. When the first end of the adapter assembly is inserted into the hollow cue shaft, the adapter of the adapter assembly is configured to receive an insertion pin of a cue handle and to hold the cue handle in position relative to the cue shaft.

A billiard training cue for increasing a player's breaking speed. The billiard training cue is weighted significantly heavier than regulation cues to build up muscle strength and improve a player's breaking speed with a regulation cue stick. The billiard training cue comprises a forward section, a cue tip, and a butt section attachable to the forward section. Both the forward and butt sections are significantly heavier than a regulation cue. The forward and butt sections may be solid core sections or comprise center bores for accepting weighted inserts. The billiard training cue may also be a single shaft that is weighted significantly heavier than regulation cues sticks.

A cue tip for a billiard cue is provided that includes multiple chemically bonded layers formed of a polyurethane material. Each layer is formed of a different polyurethane material with a different hardness than any adjacent layer. The defined layers include at least a proximal layer and a distal layer of polyurethane and at least one intermediary layer. Additional aspects presented include a leather-infused polyurethane layer and a compressed leather layer.

A cue for billiard sports that has a butt section, a joint collar, and a shaft section that has a kinetic energy absorbing insert located in the shaft section of the cue. A shaft section that has a kinetic energy absorbing insert that may be connected to an existing joint collar and butt section of a cue to improve the kinetic energy absorbing characteristics of the cue. A kinetic energy absorbing insert that is to be received by an existing shaft section of a cue in order to increase the kinetic energy absorbing characteristics of the cue is also disclosed.

A mechanical cue stick device for striking a cue ball without action of an arm includes a tube, a rod and an actuator. The tube has a first end that is closed and a second end that is open. The rod is slidably coupled to the tube and is selectively extensible from the second end of the tube. The actuator is coupled to and positioned within the tube proximate to the first end. The actuator is operationally coupled to the rod so that the actuator is positioned to forcibly extend the rod from the tube. A switch that is operationally coupled to the actuator is coupled to the tube so that the switch is positioned proximate to a digit of a hand that grasps the tube. The switch is configured to be switched to actuate the actuator to forcibly extend the rod from the tube to strike a cue ball.

A cue or golf club head having a sighting aid, a golf club having the golf club head, and uses thereof.
