When the tip won’t hold chalk
A tip pick, tip tapper or other tip tool should be used for roughing up the tip when it doesn’t hold chalk. Most people over use these tools and wear down their tips much faster than they need to. You need to be especially careful with the picks. If they slip they will scar a ferrule. Most miscues are the result of a poor stroke, not because the tip isn’t holding chalk like it should.
