So any of you guys in here from the Caribbean? Lemme know which country you from and which pool games you play. thanks.
Ok I found the video with Eric "Fat Boy" Peterson where he shows 30 YEAR OLD chalk cubes! He says they are (sounds like) "pre-flag" chalk (or somn like that), but that they stick better. They are Masters btw (just like Johnny Archer's), so its NOT chalk he just grabbed the other day from a pool...
Point taken, but obviously players on those levels (and generally any serious player), could have a spare or practice shaft lying around specially for breaking in and shaping their chalk to their requirements. In other words, they don't NEED to wait for used chalk to come their way. So that is...
Cool down bro. You're way off topic. I'm asking about the mystery behind old/aged chalk. Nothing whatsoever to do with "which chalk should I use?". And screw Kamui btw... :D
I read somewhere about how long ago chalk (not sure if it was Masters) that was made with corn starch that worked really well, but after the price of corn went up, they no longer used the corn. So not sure how big of a difference in performance that offered.
I didn't expect Johnny to dodge that...
THANKS for pointing that out!!! Didn't even know that existed. I'm considering getting it, but one question though: Why the fudge does such a book have only 2 reviews on Amazon????? Is it very detailed or does it just tell us basically what we already know?

Right in the beginning of the "What's in your case" video above, Johnny Archer says that he LOVES old chalk and always collects them. He never did explain why. I recall a few players saying the samething in other videos in this series. One person...
Unless you plan on eating of chewing off your tip I dont see a problem. But if it poses such a detrimental challenge, then just glue a piece of rubber or sponge to the end of the cue in place of the tip.
Didn't mean it as sarcasm bro. But I thought you would've had more responses. Can't advise you on 3C though, but I would probably be wrong for advising something similar to a jump cue specs with a soft tip....:frown:
