A stick is the same as a cue. Cue is the term most used.
The cue stick is used to strike the balls. The cue ball used by the players to hit the other balls is the white ball. It is the one they hit with the cue stick.
The old ferrule is cut off, the tip is cleaned, and the new ferrule is applied using cement. After this has dried, the cue tip must be applied and clamped. After the cement for the cue tip has dried, the cue tip need to be properly finished.
The break cue is used for the break in billiards, but under most rules, is not any different than any other cue. A player wants to use a very hard tip and a light cue for a break stick, and may also want a different balance point than for the play cue. The break cue is often also used for jump shots.

A closed bridge will give you more control on normal shots. With an open bridge, sometimes the cue stick will bounce up after hitting the cue ball, particularly if you're applying spin, making the hit less accurate. However, there are times when you need to use an open bridge, such as if you need to elevate your cue stick over a blocking ball to get to the cue ball or if the cue ball is on the rail.
A cue
the cue
The cue stick is elevated to at least 45 degrees and the cue is quickly stroked through the cue ball pushing the cue ball into the table slate, which makes it then rebound into the air. People not knowing how to perform a jump shot attempt to "scoop" the cue ball, using a cue stick not elevated enough and striking below the center of the cue ball. In tournament play and conventional pool rules, this "scoop" is an illegal shot, and will give the table over to the opponent.
