[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to pool and billiard games, and most important, an apparatus designed to be operated using one arm/hand, instead of two, as in 2. Below. The apparatus also incorporates features such as selective forward thrust, as deemed fit by the player/operator. The invention also is especially suitable for use by the handicapped; i.e. those who are wheelchair bound or only have the use of one arm/hand.
[0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art
[0004] Heretofore cue sticks used for playing pool/billiards were traditionally aimed by the player using 2 hands to facilitate a “shot”; i.e. one hand being placed near the cue tip to steady the stick, the thrust of forward motion being delivered by the other hand, striking the cue ball, thus facilitating the “shot”. The prior art/discipline usually dictated that the cue sticks be made of wood which, over a period of time, varying with the ambient humidity, produce warps, which are permanent, not allowing for an accurate shot.
[0005] It is the object of the present invention to provide a power cue stick that may be used by handicapped and/or wheelchair bound individuals to play pool/billiards using only one hand/arm.
[0006] The power cue stick is nearly effortless to operate and affords the player a much more accurate shot than the previous method of using a conventional cue stick and trying to steady it on the side of the pool/billiard table in an unstable fashion. The present invention offers warp free, maintenance free operation due to the materials of construction. The invention also provides for cue tip replacement with no tools needed no lubrication required and rust free operation.
