Another critical part of Cue Components is the Pool Cue Ferrule, positioned just below the tip. Its primary role is to absorb impact and prevent the shaft from splitting under pressure. By adding stability, the ferrule enhances durability and ensures the cue performs reliably over time. Different materials like ivory, carbon fiber, or plastic can influence how much energy is transferred to the cue ball. A well-chosen ferrule not only extends the lifespan of your pool cue but also contributes to smoother gameplay and consistent shot delivery.
