Use of chalk on cue stick Is it illegal to wet tip of cue stick?

Question

Is it illegal to touch your finger to tongue and apply to cue stick prior to chalking?

Answer 1

No, but, as mentioned; "Why"?

Use the chalk in a rotation from center to outer edge to chalk. When you good you should not need to chalk often, only during those "Flabbergasting Shots" like jumps and around a ball shot that put stress on the tip and take off the chalk.

Answer 2

you can wet your cue tip  it is not against the rules , but you will find your tip will start to become spongy.And will result in your shots becoming none responsive.my best advice is to use a very smooth sandpaper and lightly sand from the centre in a downward motion thus achieving the desired affect that the chalk will now stay on the tip. hope this helps

Answer 3

No but it would ruin the tip.  If it's your own cue it wouldn't be wise.  Further, even touching the tip with your finger puts oils on the tip and that's not good either.

Answer 4

....................wtf?

Answer 5

Agree with Bryan O.  You can wet your tip, but there are much better ways to remove and then re-apply chalk.  your tip is not designed for moisture.  I would also suggest getting a pick to open your tip up some so it holds chalk better.

Answer 6

UH no but why would you want to??

it would destroy the effect of the chalk you may as well put oil on it

Wanna try it come on down its your break!!
