What chalk are you using on your phenolic tips?

I just checked the Titleist chalk and you have to be kidding me…..Pink?
GTF outta here…..pink……I have 3 daughters and breast cancer awareness
is very important to me…….but in a pool chalk, the color pink really sucks.

I’d never buy or use it just because of the awful color….Pagulayan & TAOM
will remain #1 until something better comes along and it sure isn’t Titleist chalk.

Balance point of cue (intentional or ?)

Hey all. I recently bought a couple of cues and whenever I get a new to me cue, I check the weight and balance point. I do this using a straightness checker on a smaller scale that I have. I am not claiming scientific accuracy, but here is what I noticed. When weighing butt only of cue 1(similar result with cue 2 as well), the balance point seems to be about 2.5-3 inches below the A-joint (correct me if I am wrong, where the handle and forearm meet). That would seem that the cue(butt) is center weighted, but once a shaft is added, the balance point seems to shift to about 2.5 inches forward of the A-joint. Is this planned and executed when building a cue or ?
