The present invention relates to an adjustable length pool cue for billiards, pool, snooker, and the like. The invention includes a cue rod having a butt end which is telescopically received within the open end of a tubular cue rod handle. A disc-shaped cam is eccentrically mounted on the butt end of the cue rod for rotatable movement between an unlocking position, wherein the cam is axially and peripherally aligned with the butt end of the cue rod to facilitate sliding telescopic movement of the cue rod within the cue rod handle, and a locking position, in which the cam is axially and peripherally offset relative to the butt end so as to frictionally grip and cammingly engage the cue rod handle, thereby locking the cue rod in a length-desired fixed position relative to the cue rod handle. The cue rod and cue rod handle are suitably configured and dimensioned such that axial rotation of the cue rod handle relative to the cue rod will effect movement of the cam into either the locking or unlocking position depending on the direction of axial rotation thereof.
A spring activated pool cue is disclosed for use in games such as billiards. The device has also been designed to be taken apart for convenient storage and transport.
