The great CHALK DEBATE, Blue v/s Green

NINEBALLART said:
Serval years ago Pool and Billiard did a piece on chalk...The conclusion was that Green was the best one to use...They said Blue has so much dye in it you sometimes can't tell if your tip really needs chalk because your tip has been dyed blue...Also Blue makes more of a mess on table, hands shaft etc. ..Not my words, this from Pool and Billiard....
So I switched to Green to give it a try...I have been using it for 9 years now....No miscuing....I have also used Tan chalk for awhile and no miscues...Tan chalk does show on blue cloth though....
I do think Green keeps things a little cleaner but I think any color chalk does the job on your tip...Can't blame miscues on the chalk...Any color works....

I gotta call you out on this one. Switching chalks made you not miscue for 9 years?
Everyone miscues. That's like saying you didn't poop once all year :D

Yep, preflag green is the way to go, its different chalk than postflag green. Leaded vs. unleaded (in the dye). Also green should be less visible on green cloth, but that doesn't mean there's less mess to clean up.

Yes...I am more to the belief that the Green Pre-Flag is the BEST !!!

And, I don't have anything to support it...but I've been thinking that the green is a finer grit than the blue...not sure it I'm right...or if it's just in my head...but that's my impression.

I think you misunderstood me...I didn't mean I have never miscued, I was saying Green chalk or Tan chalk is not poor quality and it don't make you miscue like some poster said...In other words I was saying it is not the chalks fault if you miscue...

The light blue also appears to be more fine textured than the darker blue.
We have both at the bar. I use the regular darker stuff. Can't stand the powdery stuff. It doesn't seem to stick as well. It coats, but doesn't seem to impregnate the tip or stay on very long.

Our Recreation Center reopened after being closed two week, now about the Chalk, some of the table were recovered, and there is now talk about the HOUSE CHANGING from Master Blue, to Master Green to cut down maintenance?

I really don't care as our cloth is Green, I bring my Own Chalk, Pre Flag Master Green, so if the house changes to PINK I do not care as long as they don't say NO GREEN.

Personally think Green is not as Messy as Blue on Green Cloth.

Any input?

I personaly do not think that the green masters sticks well at all.
