I have been playing with my original single piece of TAOM chalk for 16 months and don’t expect changing it anytime soon. It will last 2 years, in my opinion, or longer. Masters chalk may cost .$50, maybe less and you can probably swipe a cube now and then from a pool hall. For less than $0.84 a month, I’m playing with the cleanest pool chalk imaginable.
Everyone will chalk differently I suppose but if you adhere To Dr. Dave’s explanation on how chalk should be performed to a cue tip, your chalk routine will remain cleaner, less messier. As far as economics, for less than a quarter ($0.25) a week or 4 cents a day, I get to play with the best, cleanest pool chalk on the market. So if you think 5 cents is too much to squander on pool chalk, we live in different realities. Heck, just swipe a piece of Masters chalk when playing at a pool hall next time.
