The snooker cues have chalk on them, and when they hit the cue ball, some chalk may be left on it. The use of chalk improves the contact between the cue and the cue ball, increasing the friction. That helps to make better shots. The cue ball should be cleaned occasionally, which is what a referee will do during a frame and between frames.

Why does my snooker tip squeak when I put chalk on it?
A snooker tip may squeak when you apply chalk due to friction between the chalk and the tip's surface. If the tip is too hard or has a smooth finish, it can create a squeaking sound as the chalk is rubbed on. Additionally, using a chalk that is too coarse or gritty can exacerbate this issue. Regularly scuffing the tip can help create a better surface for chalk application and reduce squeaking.
