Don’t do this to your cue’s tip

This video shows the correct way to chalk a Pool/billiard cue tip.

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. ❤

Best video on youtube!! People don't relize how long a chalk can last if their dumd... Would learn this! Glad you put it out there!

[jenniferwylde]

I'm so glad to hear I've been doing it right from the beginning.

So simple yet so wildly unknown. This is muscle memory for me.

Sorry I’m late to class, glad I saw this, because I’ve definitely been doing this🤦🏾‍♂️. Thank you🤙🏾

It's always good to have an even coating - on the tip.

Also pencil sharpenning your chalk will end up staining your shaft horribly... thanks, more people need to do it correctly.

Also, don't chalk over the table, it get dust in the felt and makes the table roll slower.

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.

I see people chalk their tips like they drilling for oil. "Next thing you know ol' Jed's a milionaire!"

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.

I hope people see this. This is why i dont let anyone use my caulk.

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.

[smashndash]

Masters chalk is perfect! Why buy anything less?! I agree tho people tend to chalk their cues like crazy n waste so much on just the tip alone

[rishabhbhatnagar]

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

[tyronebrown]

See I knew I was a natural cuz no one taught me how to do this I learnt it on my own I’m a real pool soldier

[stanleyderochea]

I won't let anyone use my chalk for that reason alone

[danielmartin]

[agt-ee]

Minnesota fats said it's like putting on lipstick
