Pool Cue Anatomy:

This category breaks down all the key components of a cue, including the tip, ferrule, shaft, joint, butt, wrap, and bumper. You'll learn how each part affects things like spin, power, balance, and feedback. Whether you're customizing your cue or just want to understand what makes one cue different from another, understanding its structure is the first step to making smarter equipment choices.
