Stupidest question in the world

Ok...jump all over me if ya want, but this is prolly the dumbest question for me to ask. I'm replacing my icebreaker tip on my break cue with a G10 tip/ferrule combo. Are you supposed to chalk this tip ? I was assuming that its so hard that it wont hold/take chalk. I've never used this type of tip before. Your thoughts please ? Thanks.
 
Yes

I say yes chalk it, does not hurt. You are just never really going to do any maintenance to the tip, like tippik, shape, etc...

Even though tip is hard as hell it will hold chalk. You don't have to chalk it the same way as a leather tip. It does not soak up the chalk like a softer tip. The material will take a light coating of chalk.

I re-read post and wanted to add one thing. My experience is with a Jerico Stinger break/jump cue with a phenolic tip, and I chalk it before playing with it.

rough it up a little and chalk it
 
That's a very misleading title. I can think of at least 1.2 million stupider questions.

"If I have a wife, does that mean I'm married?"
"How come I can't get my socks on my feet when my shoes are on first?"
"Will that woman in the BMW swap lanes 3 times without signaling?"
 
I have a G10 tip/ferrule combo on my break cue and love it. And YES, you are suppose to chalk it. A GOOD chalk WILL stick to the tip, just won't stay on for long.


The Kamui chalk sticks the best to the G10 tip, I have 1 cube and that is the ONLY time I use it is on my break cue. Also, the NIR Super Professional made by Longoni works excellent on the G10 tip too. The Longoni chalk is actually what I use 90% of the time on my break cue, mainly because one of the players on my team uses it and there is always a cube laying out on the table.
