Billiards Chalk.
A pad, known as a cue tip, is glued to the narrow end (tip) of the cue. A small block of cue chalk is rubbed on the pad to prevent the cue tip sliding off the billiard/snooker/pool balls.
"cue-shoo" (to put an approximate pronunciation)
They misspelled it, they meant to put a c there, as in, that's your cue.
Each time you stroke the cue ball to the left or right of center, some degree of english is applied. (Note that english is not capitalized, it has nothing to do with England.) How much english you get is based on 4 factors - how far from cue ball center contact is made; how long the cue tip stays in contact with the cue ball; condition of the cue tip; condition of the cue ball and pool table playing surface. To increase the amount of english, a soft cue tip is required and the player must accelerate the cue as contact is made with the cue ball, resulting in staying in contact for a longer period. In addition, if you have a cue that you know you will use english with quite regularly, the tip should have the "dime" shape. Cue tips are typically shaped to the curvature of either a nickel or a dime. The shape of a dime allows the tip to stay in contact with the cue ball longer than the nickel shape, improving english.
The Automatic you could put up to 5 records on the spindle and they'll drop down and play after each is done playing, semi -automatic you have to play each seperate but it will cue on the beginning of the record.
It sinks
so when you are hitting the cue ball your sticks dont slip and you dont mess up.
To put whatever substance you are dissecting on it.
Oh, dude, it's chalk. Yeah, you know, like the stuff teachers use on blackboards? Well, in billiards, we use it on the cue tip to reduce slippage and help us nail those shots. So, don't forget to chalk up before you break!
