What substance is put on the tip of the cue when playing billiards?

Answer 1

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!

Answer 2

Chalk is one of the most important substance used in billiards. Most shot are missed because of fractional miscues not felt by the shooter. Most expert player put there chalk in plastic bags to keep them dry for better effect. Check the grip on chalk. Shoot the shots one handed to check the grip of the chalk and check for miss cues. I used to play all day with one hand. Break and run the table playing with one hand. That way when i used two hands you can imagine what i could do. So chalk is the most important control for even slight defections.
