Cue Sticks and Chalk

Chalk up that stick!!

Your cue stick needs chalk after every shot. Even if you hit mostly straight shots, you should chalk up at every opportunity.

Most of the experts will give you a big long explanation about how to chalk up. They will tell you that the pros do it their way.

Well, I am sure that some pros do it their way, but I have seen an awful lot of pros who grind that chalk onto the cue like crazy.

I don't believe that the actual method of applying the chalk makes a big difference. I believe that the only thing that matters is the results. If your cue has an light coating of chalk spread on the tip, then you have done your job.
