join 2 or 3 freecycle sites if you find a cue rest it will be "free" good
hunting

Hi,

I play pool, and I am lucky enough to have good use of both arms and
hands. However I am a wheelchair user, and a member of a pool team
comprised of fellow disabled people.

A fellow member of the team I play for has tetraplegia due to cerebral
palsy.
He uses the top section of a cue that can be unscrewed into two sections.

This cue has been modified so that instead of the usual cue tip, there
is an X type bridge from an old cue rest.

The modified cue can be seen here:-

Would this type of modification help you?

Mark
