The main contents of a billiard game are a cue, which is a long stick that is used to hit the balls which are kept on the billiards board. The cue is held with both the hands. Players usually hold one end of the cue and then place the tip of the cue between the fingers of the other hand. While one hand holds it firmly the other barely supports it and only directs the cue. The other part of the game is the balls which are arranged like a pyramid on the billiards table. The cue is used to hit these balls so that they are dispersed and then the game continues after that.
