Abstract
The disclosed invention relates an improved laterally reinforced billiard cue tip. One or more lateral reinforcing layers, internal or external to the tip, may be provided to limit lateral expansion of the tip and provide a tip that has the playing characteristics of both hard, and soft, traditional tips, as well as improved shape and playing characteristics.
Claims14
A laterally stabilized billiard cue tip (10), comprising:
- an outer segment (100) having an outer segment striking surface (110), an outer segment inside circumferential surface (120) and an outer segment outside circumferential surface (130) circumferentially surrounding,
- at least one inner core (200) having an inner core striking surface (210), and an inner core outside circumferential surface (230), wherein,
- the inner core (200) being retained within the outer segment (100), and
- a flexible, non-stretching lateral reinforcement (300) is applied between the inner core outside circumferential surface (230) and the outer segment inside circumferential surface (120).
