Chalk is a naturally occurring substance that is great for pool tables. Calcium carbonate, a common component in chalk, is formed from the decomposition of plankton. While living, these plankton hold calcium in their bodies, and then release it when they die. These calcium carbonate limestone calcares then settle on ocean floors. The process has been occurring since the dawn of time, and much of today's land was once the ocean floor.

How to apply

If you play pool regularly, you will have seen players applying a thick layer chalk to their cue tips. Even if you're a beginner, it is possible to apply a lot of chalk after each hit. The reason for this is simple: to maintain proper friction between the ball and the cue tip, which is necessary for proper cue ball striking.

First, make sure that your pool cue is coated evenly with chalk. To do this, use a cue square or a brush. Hold the cue at a slight angle and use a brushing motion to apply chalk to it. To evenly coat the cue with chalk, you can rotate it in a circular motion. Do not poke holes into the chalk. It will make it messy.
