How Do You Grip The Pool Cue?
Getting the right grip on your pool cue will help you hit the ball well and more consistently. Grasp the butt end of the cue with your strong hand (whichever hand feels more comfortable) about one foot down from the end. Cradle the stick in the palm of you hand. Grip the cue with your thumb, index finger, and middle finger. The other fingers should remain loose and comfortable. Grip the cue firmly, but only as firmly as is comfortable. You should not have to exert extra effort on your grip.
