My invention pertains to a device for use in increasing players' efficiency in Cue sports. There are three major subdivisions of games within Cue Sports, they include
Carom Billiards: This refers to games played on tables without pockets, typically ten feet in length including among others Balkline and Straight Rail, Cushion Caroms, Three Cushion Billiards, Artistic Billiards and Four Ball
Pool: which refers to a number of pocket billiards games generally played on six pocket tables of seven, eight foot length including among others Eight Ball (apparently the world's most widely played Cue Sports), Nine Ball, Ten Ball, Straight Pool, One Pocket and Bank Pool
Snooker and or English Billiards: which refer to games played on a billiards table with six pockets and has a dimension of approximately 12 feet by 6 feet.
Though rules of play vary for the various Cue Sports, the objects of Cue Sports usually are to strike a ball (usually called a cue ball) with the end of a carefully shaped stick (usually called the cue stick) to a certain precision to achieve desired results.
For any Cue Sports player to achieve the desired precision, he or she has to master the act of balance, aiming and striking.
In all my years as a Cue Sports player, inability of most players to properly balance the Cue stick (usually placed over and between the thumb and the index finger with all the remaining fingers resting solidly on a surface) has been the main reason why they fail to achieve cue Sports success.
Therefore it is my firm belief that this invention will help people be better players by eliminating the problems of achieving the balance necessary to make a good aim and strike.
This invention is a cue easy hold glove, it is a glove with a wrist brace and digits cover for the thumb and the index finger. On top of the glove located in between the thumb and the index finger is a channel (cue channel) which consists of a semicircular rigid member that positions and retains the cue stick having such allowance to account for unrestricted strike at a cue ball. The glove helps keep the channel in form while a player is engaged in a cue Sports.
This device is very important because it assists the player to keep the Cue stick steady while player makes a strike. This device is so easy to use. This device assists players make a good strike each time. This device is important because it will aid in the rapid development of the game (a lot of people stay away from cue Sports due to constraints arising from proper balance of the cue stick). This device can be used by adults, male or female as well as kids. This device is important because it is inexpensive to buy and maintain.

The cuts on the glove and the cue channel can be modified in various ways from that illustrated and other means may be used than that described for holding the glove and the cue channel on a wearers hand. The glove and the cue channel can be made of a plurality of pieces of material but the material should be consistent, for the glove, the material should be flexible, elastic or of a material that makes it wearable without causing discomfort and the cue channel should be made out of a consistent material to form a rigid member with a degree of allowance and elasticity to account for unrestricted strike at a cue ball.
Wearing the CUE EASY HOLD GLOVE eliminates the need for applying powder to the first web space and all its resultant mess. It keeps and retains the cue in firm position giving the wearer more leverage to aim and strike.
A modification of the invention through color, size, construction, material or any other aesthetic manner but still having same principles of this invention are within the scope of this invention and as such is regarded as the invention.
