Abstract: Invention comprises a hand held device for controlling and assisting with the striking of billiard balls. A user of the device slides the device over his or her knuckles on their bridge hand and the device, rather than the user's fingers, controls and directs the movement of the cue stick. The devices consists of a rigid thermoplastic or similar material with four apertures, into which the user the inserts his or her fingers, and various protrusions creating semi-circular guides through and against which the user slides the pool cue. The guides through which the tapered fore part of the cue stick is placed are located above and adjacent to the finger holes. In certain circumstances, the user can use one of the finger holes for directing the cue stick. Additionally, certain embodiments of the device may have fully circular (enclosed) guides for the cue stick.
