La longueur des queues de billard varie entre 90 centimètres et 1, 5 mètre. Celles-ci sont faites en bois, généralement du frêne. Le joueur tient le bâton par le «talon», c'est-à-dire l'extrémité la plus grosse; la baguette de billard est plus effilée à l'autre extrémité, où le diamètre est de 10 à 12 millimètres. Une rondelle de cuir, le «procédé», termine le bâton et assure le contact avec la bille. 3, record 1, French, - baguette%20de%20billard

Pour la plupart des jeux de billard européen, on utilise trois billes : deux billes blanches et une bille rouge. L'une des billes blanches, pour la différencier de l'autre, est marquée de deux points de couleur, l'un sur chaque côté.(...) Dans la partie libre, le jeu consiste à faire en sorte que la bille de choc aille toucher aux deux autres billes sur le même coup de baguette(carambolage), et ce sans aucune restriction. 1, record 3, French, - billard%20europ%C3%A9en

Ce que nous désignons en Amérique du Nord par le vocable "billard européen" constitue en fait une mauvaise appellation, car le billard sans blouse n’est pas pratiqué seulement en Europe mais un peu partout dans le monde. 1, record 3, French, - billard%20europ%C3%A9en
