Maybe if chalk manufacturers stopped putting divots in the chalk to begin with people wouldn't intuitively do these this. Just send the chalk flat

I’ve been chalking my tips this way for at least 28 years. Allison Fisher and I played a couple of games at an event and she noticed I wasn’t chalking correctly so she took me aside and gave me this very useful tip. Something so small but you never forget it, especially from someone I admire so much. I’ll remember it always. ❤

I carry a little shaper/scuffer in my pocket when I go to the bar and use their cues. Everybody mashes the shit out of the tips with the chalk. I just take a minute to shape it up give it a little scuff and then chalk as shown.

I kind of do a hybrid but a bit different. I dont move the stick. I swivel the chalk around a bit. Some of our chalk at church where i play are the kind that have a small round divot so thats the ones i try to use. Most of the time i chalk once and forget through the match unless I miscue.

@ronthepoolstudent 14 күн бұрын

The main thing is to layer the entire face and radius by applying it uniformly. The best way this can be done, is like you have described or as I have shown CZ 👍🏻😊

@joelcochran 29 күн бұрын

This is correct, but you should chalk upwards towards the center instead of downwards towards the edges. This loads the chalk up closer to the point of contact instead of wiping it away towards the edges.

Question - Why do u need to chalk the tip of cue stick?

@ronthepoolstudent 8 ай бұрын

When we use english, top spin or follow Rishab, we are striking the cue ball off center. Because of this, the tip would have a tendency to slip off the side of the cue ball without using chalk. When this happens, it known as a miscue. *Chalk creates grip so the tip does not skid off the side of the cue ball when a player uses spins. Thanks for your question 👍🏻

Been playing pool for 20 years, and it doesn't matter lol. As long as the chalk is on the tip. I'd say dont spin it simply because it will wear your chalk down fast. But this weird idea that there is a special way to make the chalk stick onto the tip, is silly. Its just a fad that caught on. All the pros used to spins the chalk on the tip, didnt make them less of a pro. As long as the chalk stays on the tip, thats all that matters. But if you are buying 20 dollar one piece chalks, you might want to make it last lol.

@richngo8585 Ай бұрын

You're right, its silly to think the way you chalk will affect the way it sticks to the tip. But reality is that this is the only logical way to apply chalk. Makes chalk last longer, less unnecessary chalk dust which will dirty the cue ball and felt, can make use of the chalk edges. When its a house cue and chalk it doesn't matter, but when its your own stuff, even if its a cube of silvercup, better use it "correctly".

Not really low deflection, but it will not leave a mark on the cue ball. Chalk marks on the cue ball can alter shots if the object ball hits that chalk mark. That's why professionals used to ask the referee to clean the cue ball. Now you almost never see that because they use the newest chalks.
