What is a CueSight Laser cue?
The Cuesight Laser Cue is a billiards training aid designed to help improve a players consistency. Aside from being super cool (I mean it's a pool cue with a laser shooting out the end), it will demonstrate any inconsistency in a players stroking motion as they watch the crosshairs on the cue ball. Couple that with the ability to see exactly where on the cue ball you are striking and you have a fairly solid tool to help you improve your stroke and develop the sighting and muscle memory to impart "english" or spin on the cueball. You can read more about them at the related link.
Where can you get your cue weighted?
Most cues are made to be adjustable. The weight bolts are changed, added, or removed as needed from the butt end of the cue. Remove the rubber bumper from the butt end of the cue. If there is a weight well, then your cue is adjustable. If there is no weight well, then I would recommend you have a cue maker or cue repairman determine if your cue can be made adjustable.

What does drake mean by bet he felt that like the end of a pool cue?
i thought it had something to do with the blood crib line before, end of a pool cue is blue... Edit By Blackjakal: I actually made an account for this. Drake used the word "felt" as a double meaning. The end of a pool cue is made from a felt material. So he "felt" that line, like the end of a pool cue. Get it? :)
What are cue tips?
The tip of the cue is provided with a multi-layered leather tip on its end that allows better contact with the cue ball. Without a properly maintained cue tip, a player cannot have proper cue ball control, one of the most important features of the game.
