How much would you pay for a SINGLE cube of chalk??

How good is it? Chalk is chalk right.
I think $3.00 is the cut off for me. Just had my table refinished with electric blue, and I'm loving the blue diamond.
Are you asking how much as a lark just to try it out or on a regular basis? One time I'd pay $10-$15ish. My day to day $3 is about the most.
$25 for a miniture piece of chalk?!?! That's just ridiculous!! I did hit with it yesterday and I liked it, but it never even occurred to me to ask how much it costs. I'm glad I didn't because I was nowhere near a bathroom.
I think a good analogy would be with golf. Golfers will spend 3+ dollars (over $40 for a dozen) on titleist pro v1 golf balls and slice them in the woods all day. But their wallet will tighten up when it comes to buying a cube of chalk, that will last them a month at least.

The piece of chalk is smaller than any other brand on the market, I cannot see the justification in pricing. $25 for one cube is a bit ridiculous. I think they have forgotten who their demographic market is....a pool player...who typically has little to no money to buy a $25 piece of chalk.
I wont go any higher than what I am paying for BD now...that's my limit....I don't care how much better it is. If you're miscuing that often, work on your stroke!

I selected 10 bucks, but I would likely only spend that once....I love the blue diamond, but even that seems too rich for chalk.
I know we all gripe about the little things, like having to pay for coffe refills at the pool hall!
I would like to try this mini chalk that cost's so much, just to say I tried it

Personally, I'd never pay that much to try one out.. I'd have to KNOW from personal or trusted experience to pay premium for anything. I can almost guarantee I'd never pay $25 for a cube of chalk..
Very good analogy, I'd not spend that much on golf balls or $25 on a cube of chalk..
Could be?? Who knows?
Absolutely nothing wrong with Master chalk. Its won more championships than any other chalk in existence. Its been consistant for decades. And its only $15 a gross.
Hmmmmmm lets see here....... Maybe if Tweeten started charging more, people would think that it was better too.

I also put $10 as my limit, but this is theoretical. The chalk would have to be worth it, i.e. 3x better than BD. I don't think there is such a thing right now but if some new technology came out that greatly increased the effectiveness I guess $10 amortized over the life of the cube wouldn't really increase the overall cost of playing pool that much.
Same here. I don't have a problem with miscueing, so I really don't see the need to switch chalk to a more expensive brand. I used to use moori tips, but they mushroomed too much and I was miscueing with them. I started using Kamui soft tips and now I don't have that problem. I like their tips, but my masters chalk works great for me.
