98 formula cakes on thick, so if you chalk before every shot, the 1.21 formula would be better to use so you don’t over chalk and make a mess. Others like the peace-of-mind they get from knowing that Kamui prevents miscues better than any other chalk on the market. Many players like using Kamui chalk because they say that it allows them to only need to chalk once a game. This chalk isn’t cheap (close to $30 per cube), but it sure does its job when it comes to tip adhesion and grabbing the cue ball.
#DOES TWEETEN CHALK HAVE LEAD IN IT PROFESSIONAL#
The top-shelf option that professional players, including Hall of Famer Mika Immonen, swear by is Kamui Chalk. Predator chalk comes with five pieces per tube (for under $10) so there is plenty to go around.įrank Says: "Because Predator chalk is an octagon, you need a special chalk holder! Check out our package deal on a pack of Predator Chalk and a Chalktagon! " This chalk is octagonal too, so it has a really unique feel in your hand. This is a dry, gritty chalk that has great adhesion to the tip yet doesn’t seem to get all over the cue ball. Personally, I side with Champion player Darren Appleton when I say that Predator is my favorite brand of pool chalk. They seem to always feel like that perfect piece! Blue Diamond comes in packs of two and those cubes are incredibly consistent. This chalk is a great value and is considered by many to be the original “performance chalk”. Neils prefers Blue Diamond chalk made by Longoni. This stuff is great, and chances are it’s what’s sitting on the rail of the tables at your local pool room right now.Īnother popular brand is a favorite of top European player Neils Feijen. My friend and Hall of Famer Nick Varner once told me “there is still nothing like a good piece of blue Master chalk.” Master chalk is the ol’ reliable option made by Tweeten in Chicago where they’ve been making billiard chalk for over a century. That’s why I talked to a few top professional pool players to see what kind of chalk they prefer. With all the different choices out there, how do we decide which brand of chalk to use? I would suggest that you try out as many as you can until you find a brand you like, but not everyone has access to all of these precious pieces of blue gold. Today there are more chalk options than you can you can shake a stick at, and with such a large selection to choose from it is now much easier to find quality pool cue chalk. Occasionally you’d get lucky and find a special piece that just played perfectly, so you’d go to great lengths to stash and protect that piece while hoping that it would last forever. Back then, chalk was chalk and you usually just grabbed any cube that was close by. When I was first learning to play pool, there were only two or three different brands of pool cue chalk.
