1. A label on кий

It is made of specially processed skin of a bison, a buffalo, an elk. It is pasted to a tip кия and then it is adjusted to its diameter. A label surface rounded off, "tousled". It becomes that the chalk well stuck to a label.

2. A billiard chalk

The chalk is necessary for creation of a friction which is a necessary condition for the blow control, in a case when blow is put not in the centre битка. In other words by means of a chalk you can supervise rotation битка both to and after impact битка and an aim sphere. Your game in many respects depends on quality and the label form.

3. A tip

The tip protects шафт кия from splitting and reduces vibration from blow. As a rule, the tip has a female thread, but besides it is pasted to шафту and then adjusted towards the diameter. There are two principal views of a tip. We name them conditionally "cap" and "a through" tip. "Cap", as appears from the name, completely closes the thin end шафта while "through" hollow inside and the label directly concerns шафта. A tip from an ivory use on expensive, professional киях more often. The tip from фенолоальдегидных polymers and plastic is more extended on inexpensive billiard cues.

4. Шафт

For шафта a preferable material is the maple with growth in a frigid climate as it possesses sufficient durability and elasticity and has light tone. For шафта are selected specially dried up wood of certain age to underline density and flatness of a structure of annual rings. Such wood is exposed to numerous processing before becomes шафтом. The length кия happens various, from 1350 mm. To 1600 mm. Diameter шафта usually makes 13 mm and is measured on a staff tip. However depending on the concrete person and game can vary. Diameter шафта does not change on a site 18-42 see from a tip, and then is cone-shaped increases till diameter of a joint. Шафты differ on flexibility depending on forms of an aforementioned cone are long also. The short cone has smaller flexibility and about its help to be made more rigid blow and on the contrary, the long cone possesses большей flexibility and blow turns out more softly. Шафт influences weight, balance, game sensations and billiard cue characteristics.

5. A joint

The joint is intended for connection of parts folding кия and can be made both of a tree and plastic, and with application of various metals; a brass, bronze, a steel, the titan, aluminium alloys. The joint should provide dense connection and accuracy of centering кия. Blow as it transfers force of blow from a horizontal bar to шафту and, eventually, битку depends On a joint directly.

6. The cut screw

The cut screw is pasted to a forearm of a horizontal bar and serves for more reliable connection. Screws can differ on length, a thickness, a step and depth of a carving. Wide screws can be twisted directly in шафт which has a female thread directly on a tree. At use of more thin screws special fastenings are required. Essentially the screw is necessary for correct fastening шафта and a horizontal bar by a principle "a tree to a tree" that allows to execute softer blow. Special fastening, as a rule, has an acting connecting concentric nut with the screw drowned in the plug that stiffens blow.

7. The plug

The cut plug can be made of a steel, an ivory, formed фенолоальдегидных polymers and plastic. The plug is pasted to a forearm and fixes the cut screw, stabilising thus шафт.

8. Rings

Below the plug, on the joint end шафта rings as a rule fasten. They strengthen a joint and are very often decorated by incrustation. Rings also often have above and below a winding, and also in the sleeve basis.

9. A forearm

The forearm is located between a joint and a winding. The forearm can fasten to a winding in the various ways, including a cut bolt which also can serve as balancing cargo. A forearm usually make of carefully selected and dried up firm breeds of a tree for durability giving. A forearm very often decorate incrustation, and a surface cover with proof glossy polishing to keep a tree from растрескивания and deformations.

10. Wedges

Wedges are the most widespread ornament. However besides decorative function wedges strengthen a forearm, reduce deterioration and improve balance of a billiard cue.

11. Incrustation

Billiard cue inlay with rare breeds of a tree, precious and semiprecious metals, an ivory, semi-precious stones, nacre more often. It is thus very important, that incrustation did not break structural integrity кия, balance and did not harm to game qualities кия. However, as materials for incrustation essentially differ on weight and density, to observe these requirements frequently very much not simply. By means of a rotating trailer mill on wood the basis of a carving and original "pockets" for incrustation becomes. Then кий it is processed manually, forms of "pockets" and a carving relief are lead up. Incrustation fragments are adjusted on height and the form to the form and depth of "pocket". This labour-consuming and very exact work demands patience, a good eye and a firm hand. The end result of work of the good master is a work of art. Often given work can be lead up to demanded accuracy by means of machine tools with ЦПУ. Combination of skill and technologies allows to come nearer as much as possible to observance of game requirements and beauty of a billiard cue.

12. A winding

Winding - the part of a billiard cue intended for the successful fellow of the player and, accordingly, and having a special superficial covering - a winding. A winding on qualitative киях as a rule make of a skin or a stopper. The choice of a material of a winding is caused by its mission - maintenance of the reliable successful fellow and moisture absorption by hand. The winding also supplements the basic colour scale кия.

13. The handle

The handle is a part кия below a winding. It joins a forearm and more often is made of directly fibrous maple of the corresponding weight and density. In certain cases a handle do smaller diameter and cover with a hollow sleeve (or several sleeves in the form of rings), made of exotic breeds of a tree, a cornea or an ivory. More often handle also use for balancing of adjustment of weight кия, reducing or increasing the size of an internal cavity. Whether without dependence from that the handle is made of an integral tree or from a hollow tree, its surface becomes covered by a high-strength varnish. Even at repair were in the use кия the handle is varnished before a winding.

14. A sleeve

The sleeve represents the hollow cylinder made, as a rule, from exotic breeds of a tree which lays down on the wooden basis of a forearm and bears on itself wedges. Some masters make a sleeve integral for correct balancing кия. Sleeve furnish always underlines forearm furnish. Frequently the sleeve pattern represents itself mirror display of the reduced pattern of a forearm. The sleeve on all length is processed by a high-strength varnish.

15. A cup

The cup strengthens the basis кия, protects the bottom end кия from splitting and mechanical damages and, also, contains a bumper. The cup can be made of various materials (the choice depends on the general style of registration кия) which correspond to mission of a cup - protection of a tree and incrustation which frequently settles down on a sleeve. Cups can differ on diameter and colour and can be absent on some киях.

16. A bumper

Bumper make of rubber or other elastic materials more often. The bumper protects a cup кия from blows and pollution at contact of the bottom part кия with a shelf or a floor.

17. A varnish covering

At masters on manufacture киев to a covering кия the varnish pays considerable attention. The qualitative covering not only underlines beauty of furnish кия, but also protects кий from adverse external influence. The good covering gives кию luster and raises its value.
