You are correct. Kamui chalk will not "make" you a better player. But what if it allowed you the opportunity, ability, and more growth in your game....
Only you know your stroke. And only you can improve your stroke.
But what if a lot more consistency in the products you use helped you get there a little faster. Or maybe at some point added more "confidence" in yourself and your abilities when your cue ball is locked on the rail and you needed to use top right english to make a shot.... and big money is riding on the game. (I know we can build up scenarios and theorize till we are blue in the face...) The point is, we found inconsistencies in tips and chalks that we said we can make a difference.
The link below are some findings we had when researching what chalk is and does over 2 years ago.

Remember, we are not "forcing" you to buy the chalk. We are crazy about pool and we are serious pool NERDS trying to solve a problem. ;-)

I think based on the video I am convinced that:
1. The Kamui chalk will not make me a better player, or make me make shots, or play better position, or have better cue ball control.
2. It is grossly overpriced and does not offer significant rewards over masters (I actually preferred the shots with masters)
3. There is truth in the saying "beat you with a broom handle." A $35 piece of chalk will not replace a good stroke.
I was sitting on the fence before thinking that I could get more spin or accuracy from a piece of chalk and have the upper hand when playing games. But now I realize the fact is that there is no amount of "magic chalk" that will improve my game. It is all in the delivery of the cue and practice.
Another point I'd like to mention is that while it is marketed as being longer lasting, I would rather use my masters or blue diamond and be able to readjust myself in a shot by standing up and rechalking. I can't imagine doing that with a $35 piece of chalk, swiping it multiple times on the cue tip as I stroll around the table. Routine is important when shooting under pressure, there is a reason that pro's have consistent warm up strokes and resettle themselves after being disturbed.
My 2c.
