Welcome to the billiard, pool, and snooker glossary of terms. This is the definition of Goose Neck Rest as it relates to cue sports. You can also view the entire billiard dictionary.
A goose neck rest is the same as a swan rest. The goose neck rest is a type of mechanical bridge or rest used in blackball, British pool, and snooker that is similar to a spider rest in that it's head rests higher due to longer supporting legs. However, instead of having a myriad of grooves on the top of the head for the cue stick to rest on, there is only a one groove. The goose neck rest is used in situations where the cue ball is obstructed by one or more object balls, or where the hand bridge can not be used.
