Enjoying the “noble” game of billiards has more to it than knowing how to aim right and strike right. The quality of the accessories plays an important role in striking your best shots and playing the best game.

One of these crucial accessories is the chalk, used to maintain the tip of the cue. Ever wondered why some players insist on carrying their own chalk even in tournaments. A good quality chalk plays a crucial role in keeping the cue tip in top shape for the best strikes. The chalk at the tournaments may be of a poorer quality; thus, affecting the shots of the best players too.

To strike the best shots at all times, it is essential to ensure that the cue tip is in top shape always. This is possible with the right chalk treatment only. If the tip is mushroomed, you might need a replacement, until you get the shots and strikes right.

Using the chalk right to treat the cue tip perfectly is essential to enjoy the billiards game thoroughly.

[b]Here are some tips to maximize the chalk[/b]

• Use the chalk before every shot.
• Point the cue stick at an angle and use a strong brushing motion while applying chalk.
• Turn the cue slowly to ensure even brushing on the tip.
• Avoid drilling the cue into the chalk. This might get excessive chalk on the ferrule.
• Remember to apply chalk softly.
• Chalk dust is one of the biggest culprits for a bad felt, thus, affecting the billiards game. So, use the chalk away from the table.
• Remember that a little excessive chalk on the cue may not have adverse effects. In a bid to shoo the chalk dust away, do not bang the cue stick on the table. This may certainly have adverse effects.
• Store chalk in a cool-dry place for better maintenance.
• Do not use the chalk upside down, so the dust does not fall on the floor, clothes or on the table.

The chalk is of primary importance for a thrilling billiards game. So, ensure buying the best quality ones. The quality of accessories is as important as the quality of the table itself.
