2.4 Billiard cue, rake

The balls are set in motion by means of an equipment made of wood or any other material which is named "billiard cue". The billiard cue may consist of one single piece or may be divided into several parts. The cue must be equiped with a ring at one of its ends called "leather tip". The player is only allowed to use the "leather tip" in order to touch the ball. The player employs one or several cues of his choice and he freely determines its length, weight and diameter.
The player has the right to use a "rake", a small stick with a stock at the end made of wood or any other material determined to replace the hand in certain positions of the body which are difficult to take.
