Just like any game, there are a number of billiard accessories to help a player in maximizing one’s potential in the game. Billiard gloves, variously known as pool gloves or cue gloves, are one such accessory that is treated as a pool player’s best friend in the game.
Why? They reduce friction and can make your stroke more consistently carried out. These specialized 3-fingered gloves make the pool cue shaft slide more smoothly and accurately in your bridge hands than if there were no gloves worn. Hence, you have the promise of reduced friction. It is this reduction in friction that allows your stroke to have better consistency and accuracy.
