cue 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.
What will make your game room awesome will depend a lot on your style. The must have accessories for a pool table are cues, chalk and a pool cue holder.
The stroke is the method for sliding the cue to strike the cue ball. A good billiard stroke is very straight and level and continues with a follow through after contact with the cue ball.
A stick is the same as a cue. Cue is the term most used.
It is called chalking the cue. The pool chalk is an abrasive, not chalk, and provides more frictin between the cue ball and the cue tip.

Cue chalk will wash out with water, however, the dye in the chalk may have to be treated as a stain (depends upon the chalk).

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.
