The thick end, or "butt," is held in the hand, and the cue tapers to a thickness of about 10 to 12 millimetres at the other end.

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
