Leather is used for the cue tip, and pool chalk is used to provide more friction against the cue ball. Pool chalk is an abrasive using materials found in sandpaper. It is not a form of chalk.
i thought it had something to do with the blood crib line before, end of a pool cue is blue... Edit By Blackjakal: I actually made an account for this. Drake used the word "felt" as a double meaning. The end of a pool cue is made from a felt material. So he "felt" that line, like the end of a pool cue. Get it? :)
Chalk.
it is chalk
It looks like you may be trying to spell pool cue sticks.You use pool cues to play a game of pool, similar to snooker. You do not need the word "sticks" at the end. A pool cue is what it is called.
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.

No, you can't use either side.
After a scratch in pool, the cue ball should be placed behind the headstring, which is the line at the end of the table opposite the breaking end.
The head string in a pool is located at the opposite end of the rack from where the cue ball is placed for the break shot.
Pool cues are typically 13mm, and you will not find a 12mm except for the more expensive cues. The best choice is a good used cue, but you can look for a low end new cue such as Viking or Adams.
The best choices will be online on the internet. There is only one location in Reading, PA that specializes in pool and billiards to buy a pool cue. However, the major department stores and sporting goods stores also sell pool cues, but only the lowest end products will be found there.
No. Rules published by BCA are very specific. The cue ball must be struck with the leather tip of the cue.
