Many Pool and Snooker cues can be unscrewed and separated into two sections for more convenient storage and/or transport.
Now, BorgCo engineers have gone two better. The new range of Reductio-ad-absurdum cues separate into not two but eight, sixteen or thirty-two sections, depending on the compactness
required, allowing a full size cue to be carried unobtrusively in a pocket once dismantled.

Of course, to be really clever, you need to make sections that can be stored inside each other. [+] |

I agree and to make that possible, make it telescopic and air tight when extended. And this is for you [8/7] extend it using a version of an air bag gas generator. |

I've been meaning to make one of these since I saw the Force Lance open the first time on Andromeda. |
|
| |
The problem with this is that if you only need three sections, they are of unequal lengths. People laugh. |

We had a pair of those, but the end fell off. |

Surely by now there's a pool cue app for the iPhone? |

/pool cue app/
Don't try it. The chalk gummoxes that little thing on the end with the holes. |

The cue in the link is a piece of shit. The whole point of a cue is to have the vibrations resulting from the impact run through the cue and into your arm/body as natural as possible. There has to be a flow. Hence I boned the idea. |
|
| |
It goes without saying that I could beat you with this or any other cue playing with one hand behind my back. |
|
| |
You would be amazed to learn how many people I actually beat playing with one hand behind my back. You would be even more amazed to learn how many people back away from the chalenge because they are to afraid. I tell them that if they win they win five euro's, but when I win I get ten euro's, two hands against one that's fair right? |

Back on topic: check this link. It's latest and best top ever. |

Have a piece of elastic running through the centre and you could fold it up like a blind person's cane or a modern tent pole. Unfold it and the elastic quickly snaps the pieces into place. |

//carried unobtrusively in a pocket// Even in sections, I
don't think it'd be unobtrusive.
"Is that a pool cue in your
pocket, or are you just glad to see me?" |
|
| |
//"is that a pool cue in your pocket..."...//
ah there ya go, an inflatable pool cue. |
|
| |
This is a bad idea because the pieces of the cue will become so small that they lose meaning. |
|
| |
Is meaning an important attribute for a pool cue? |
|
| |
No, but imagine how terrible if the meaning of other things was sucked up and dissipated by pool cue granules. |
|
| |
What a beautiful weirdness. Sounds like the sort of thing
Klapaucius would try to talk Trurl out of. |
|
| |
and then you need a russian-doll type cue ball: when hit the outer shell opens and the next one pops out then the next, etc. |
