The chalk sticks to the tip of the cue. The chalk provides friction so when the tip of the cue strikes the cue ball the tip actually sticks to the ball for a few Milli seconds. That prevents the tip from glancing off the ball.<br><b>References : </b><br>Discovery Channel Physics! The chalk sticks to the tip of the cue.

When you hit the cue ball, you want to impart a certain spin, to position it for your next shot, to slow it down quickly so it doesn't keep rolling and drop into a pocket. To put spin on the ball (also known as putting a little "English" on it), you need the cue tip to strike the cue ball off center. The chalk helps impart friction, meaning the cue tip doesn't just slide off the cue ball and mess up your shot.<br><b>References : </b><br> So that the cue tip does not glance off the ball.

Plus, it helps to apply friction when you're putting a spin on the ball.<br><b>References : </b><br> I think it's for protecting the end of the cue.

Without chalk you will "miscue" - the cue stick will slip off the cue ball causing a bad shot.<br><b>References : </b><br> It makes the cue tip "Grip" the cue ball better, thus allowing you to control the cue ball by putting "English" on it.
