Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Michael Lamendola with expertvillage.com, and today we're going to shoot some pool. One thing you need to know when you shoot pool is that there's always going to be a little blue square on the table. This is your chalk. It's very important that you use this after every shot. To use, simply apply onto the tip. You hear that little squeaky noise? That means you're doing it right. Just give the tip a nice even coat of chalk and you're good to go. Why do you do it? Well, the chalk reduces friction on the tip. When you're striking the cue ball, it'll give you a better striking point for things like English or striking the ball through the center. It basically promotes a better shot. It's like flossing. Only it's a lot easier to do."
