Abstract
A device that is configured to be usable to assist a user in moving a cue member (e.g. a pool cue or cue stick) that is sized and configured to strike a ball for a game of pool or billiards can include a stabilizer element, a ring element attached to the stabilizer element, and a rest defining a first aperture along which a cue stick or other cue member is slideable. A method of using the device is configured so that the device can be used for hitting a ball in a game of pool or billiards by sliding a cue member along an aperture defined by the rest.

A method of moving a cue member comprising:
- providing a device comprising:
- a stabilizer element, the stabilizer element comprising an elongated member,
- a ring element attached to the stabilizer element, and
- a rest attached to the ring element, the rest defining a first aperture adjacent the ring element, the first aperture having a mouth that faces a first direction such that a cue member is passable into the mouth of the first aperture and is slideable within the first aperture;
- an extension member attached to at least one of the rest and the ring element such that the extension member extends away from the rest and the ring element and also extends away from the stabilizer element, the extension member defining a second aperture at a distal end of the extension member that is positioned further away from the ring element than the first aperture, the second aperture having a mouth that faces a second direction that is opposite the first direction that is sized and shaped to receive a cue member such that the cue member is passable into the mouth of the second aperture and is slideable within the second aperture,
- holding the device by passing at least one finger through the ring element;
- sliding the cue member along the first aperture to hit a ball with the cue member while holding the device;
- and
- sliding the cue member along the second aperture to hit a ball with the cue member while holding the device.
