Instructions
Select a chalk that matches the table felt as closely as possible. Blue chalk is often used for green tables. If you didn't bring your own, select a chalk that is not too worn out in the center. Chalk with deep divots may not apply evenly.
Check the tip of your cue to ensure it is properly shaped and has not mushroomed. If it is slick, it may be necessary to lightly sand it using a shaping tool so it will hold chalk.
Hold the chalk on top of the cue and brush it lightly across the tip. Turn the cue slightly to ensure all sides are chalked.
Repeat between each shot.
