She probably started off playing snooker and that's a good thing.
This lady may be using one of those tips impregnated with chalk like Elk master but then again, she might be using a just an average tip. If you don't play fancy english and you have a solid stroke/game, you do not need chalk
Anyone here grow up with a small snooker table at home? I did and I had no chalk and managed without for years.
I played with cues with no tips on them in a commons area at college. They quit fixing the cues as the tips always fell off when someone dropped the cue on the floor.
It taught me a lot: how to get shape without fancy moves, how to hit softly, so softly I was often accused of pushing the cueball. I learned mostly about proper use of slight follow, as it was the go-to thing when having no tip on a cue.
She would, as someone said, play better with chalk than without, imo.
