Sometimes there are pool tables in each short side and in both halves of the long sides of which are inserted from the top three "diamonds" - bright, easily visible from the point of nacre. The system of these eighteen points is called the "Diamond System". It helps to be in the mind frame to the calculation scheme of the desired path of the balls played.

Cue composite of several hardwood dry-seasoned wood. The best wood for the cue - beech, mahogany, ash, rosewood, linden. The thin end of the shock is most often made of maple. Cue must be mathematically straightforward and well-matched by hand. The length of the cue - 145-150 cm, weight 550-600, the lower end of the cue (butt, or turnstile) filled with lead, weight - 200-250 grams, has a thickness of 25-30 mm, and gradually thinning to the end, comes down to 10 - 14 mm. Flooded with a separate socket is closed "mask". The lower end of the round rubber butt screwed diameter of 25-30 mm, thickness 2-2.5 cm cue tip is attached a round leather label. Due to the fact that the factory production of labels, we have not yet been established, they are made in private, usually from the skin a deer or buffalo special dressing.

It is best suited to labels leather medium hard, not too taut. To label does not slip on the ball, before hitting her need to rub sandpaper until the surface roughness, and then piled.
