A stick is the same as a cue. Cue is the term most used.
Cue can mean a wooden shaft used in games, or a direction to speak in a play.
A cue case is for carrying cues for billiard games. The case should be hard wearing and should serve the purpose of transporting any jointed pool or snooker cue.
Each time you stroke the cue ball to the left or right of center, some degree of english is applied. (Note that english is not capitalized, it has nothing to do with England.) How much english you get is based on 4 factors - how far from cue ball center contact is made; how long the cue tip stays in contact with the cue ball; condition of the cue tip; condition of the cue ball and pool table playing surface. To increase the amount of english, a soft cue tip is required and the player must accelerate the cue as contact is made with the cue ball, resulting in staying in contact for a longer period. In addition, if you have a cue that you know you will use english with quite regularly, the tip should have the "dime" shape. Cue tips are typically shaped to the curvature of either a nickel or a dime. The shape of a dime allows the tip to stay in contact with the cue ball longer than the nickel shape, improving english.
The term "billiards" is derived from the French word "billard," which refers to the cue sport played on a rectangular table. The word itself likely comes from "billart," meaning "stick" or "cue," reflecting the equipment used in the game. Historically, billiards has encompassed various cue sports, including pool and snooker, all of which involve similar principles and gameplay mechanics. As such, the name has evolved to represent a family of games centered around cue sports played on a table.
