Welcome to the billiard, pool, and snooker glossary of terms. This is the definition of Spider as it relates to cue sports. You can also view the entire billiard dictionary.
A Spider is a type of rest that is rather similar to a North American rake bridge, but that has longer legs. Because of a spider's longer legs, the spider's head sits at a higher level which in turn causes the cue to sit higher. This allows the shooting player to be able to reach over or around obstructions such as other object balls.
Pass the spider, mate.
