The Hot Shot Cue does not take the skill out of the game nor give the player an unfair advantage. It does allow persons to play who could not play otherwise. The Hot Shot is a lightweight, anodized pool cue with an inner shaft that has a mechanism consisting of a series of interlocking washers and buffer springs. Its unique action allows the player to select the force needed for a shot from merely nudging the ball to a blast for a break. The Hot Shot is sturdy, rarely needing repairs except for replacing tips. It does not take the skill out of the game, nor give the player unfair advantage, but allows person with disabilities to play. The player must learn the force needed and distance from the ball before shooting. The Hot Shot can be used by players with use of one arm.
