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.

Where did the term English originate in billiards?
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.

In billiards if you shoot a ball and it goes out is it a foul?
By "out" I assume you mean off the table. If you hit the cue ball off the table it is a scratch, and is taken in the kitchen. If you hit a playing ball off the table, it is put in the pocket or in the center of the table depending on the rules you decide before the game (traditionally it is pocketed), and it becomes the other players turn. If you hit the 8 ball off the table, you lose. ADD: Good answer, but slightly incomplete. First off, I will assume you don't mean billiards, but pocket billiards, and further assume you mean the traditional game of 8 ball, or "Boston". If the cueball leaves the table(and remains off the playing surface) it is a foul. Except on the break, the incoming player receives ball in hand. On the break, the cueball must be placed "in the kitchen". If the cue ball leaves the table, but returns, without hitting anything (chalk, light fixture, wall, player) it is legal. The cueball may travel down the rail, spin back on the table, this is fine. Any object ball that leaves the table is pocketed, and a foul occurs, unless it is the 8 ball, then loss of game occurs.
