Abstract: Resilient material elongate cloth strips are inserted into a tubular cue stick section enclosing, supporting and protecting tube with the elongate cloth strips folded over the smaller diameter end of the cue stick section for initial insertion into the enclosing protective tube. Adhesive is used within both ends of the tube to hold the cloth in place when inserted therein along with a tube end plug and a decorative liner within the tube through a substantial length thereof. The larger, or butt end, of the cue stick section extends outward to the exterior of the tube within which the cue stick is a snug holding fit. Two, and in some instances three, cloth strips are used to give adequate resilient cushioning support to the smaller end of the cue stick section and single layer resilient cushioning support toward the larger end of the cue stick section. A typical cloth well suited for this use with the desired resilient compressability factor is various wool felt fabrics.
