People who use chalk holders...what do you do when

[Kris_b1104]

the chalk grinds down to the level of the chalk holder? Put in a new chalk?

Was watching S. Seoa vs Pia Filler and saw Seoa's chalk holder (which is kinda nice) and it got me wondering.

I've never used a chalk holder in my life but I've seen many who do. Some of them are attached to huge magnetic devices sewn onto their front pockets.

Do you buy a bunch of chalk in bulk and keep switching them out?

many have a hole in the bottom so you can put a coin or something else in the bottom to raise it up
in the pics below you can see my chalk is the same height or alittle less that the height of the chalk holder
i put 2 washers in the bottom and i am good to go
you can also see the hole so that if the chalk get stuck you can poke it out
kudos to @iusedtoberich for making the chalkholder

Placing coins under them is an easy fix. Also taking a razor blade and trimming the rubber/plastic chalk holder about an eighth of an inch will work also. On some premium chalks like Taom the paper around them already has a couple scored off lines about 1/8 inch apart, which allows you to peel off a little of the chalk wrapping as you wear the chalk down. If it doesn’t, you can easily do it with a razor blade.

I take a strip of paper folded to have the cube sit higher.

I put a washer or two in it to raise the chalk. Coins would work as well. I might also 3d print some risers at some point.

I put the chalk in my pocket always have no problem and no chalk holder.

 

[trob]

most of them our tight so you just slide it up in the holder a bit

 

[loggerhead12]

Just skip the holder entirely and stick the magnet to the bottom of the chalk.

That’s why your pants have pockets.

I have used a magnetic chalk holder for almost as long as I have been playing pool, I hated looking for chalk on the table, it interfered with my pre-shot routine, I have been using a Dr. V's chalk holder for the last 3 years, it has the strongest magnet I have ever seen on a chalk holder, been using TAOM V 10 chalk, have used the same piece of chalk for almost 2 years and it's still going, I expect to have to replace it in April, it works for me.

I don't like my pants pockets full of chalk dust.

It sure is!! I found a discarded base, probably garczar's, and tore the magnet out of it. I use it now to keep the door closed on my small cue cabinet.

Yep.

 

[Ted760_0]

I put a few quarters under the chalk at first and then turn the cube over and cut the paper off, then I scuff the new face to remove any remaining glue.

I've had this leather/suede chalk holder for almost 50 years and as soft/supple as the material is the chalk never falls out.

For new Pagulayan chalk, I used two 13mm Le Pros to raise the chalk to holder level:

I've seen
an Asian room owner do this with his house chalk.

When the chalk wore down 1/2 way, he'd tape another 1/2 worn on to it keeping the chalk size normal.
