Abstract
The present invention relates to a tip section for a cue stick for use in billiards, snooker and pool. The tip section may be connected to either a butt section of a two piece cue, or to the shortened shaft end of an existing cue stick butt section. The tip section is composed of a hollow tube into which stiffening members and weights may be introduced to alter the weight, balance, flex and kick of the tip section. The tip section can be retrofitted to an existing butt section, used to repair a cue stick with a damaged tip segment, or be part of a new cue.
