Comparing schools to chalk? You think there's no difference in public and private schools? Might want to check your meds if you actually believe that.

Top 3 Chalks
1.) Toam Pyro Chalk, can't be beat!
2,) Kamuaii Roku, I usually hate Kamaui but this chalk is awesome.
3.) G2 Chalk
All the rest, Masters, Predator, Blue Diamond are all pretty much the same, these 3 stand out!
And just a dusting of Roku Chalk on my BulletProof Break Tip and I can get insane jump with spin, draw, top! Bulletprooftips.com

Deano, you just posted this in another chalk thread. I've heard of flip flopping but not within 24 hours. LOL So, you don't believe in your own hype ? What's up playa ? lol
QUOTE: deanoc
I was just thinking of betting with Dr Dave
if he says there is no difference i am willing to bet with him
i suspect he has a way of testing clinically and the rest of us are kinda going from perceived results
I have only tried predator chalk a few times when some was left on the table
and i tend to hit several shots before chalking, I have never be fastideous about chalking
but I almost always chalk if i plan to hit draw

I don't know. Alex was using Magic Chalk before I ever found out. And pretty hard to pay a guy when you don't even know he is using your chalk
Yeah, I sent him some free chalk once I found out he used it. Jennifer Berretta uses Magic Chalk, and I know I don't pay her. My son caught it on TV when we were watching the TV show with Emily Duddy. She had it on the table, and the box was right next to her pool case.
If anyone knows here, send me her address, I'll send her some chalk too.
But, I don't pay anyone to use Magic Chalk.
Somebody in the last Mosconi Cup was using Magic Chalk. It was listed in BD about all their equipment, it mentioned folks cues, tips, and chalk. But didn't say who use what, just a list of the products being used. I wish I knew who was using Magic Chalk

I am sure Magic Chalk is good Chalk, but I'll stick to my old standby, it has served me well. Master has been around a long time, it is reasonable priced, I have like a lifetime supply left. If I ever use up my faithful Master Green, I would bet I buy another Dozen or Couple of Dozen Cubes. I tend to get a lot of use out of a Cube of Chalk as I use it till the last little piece breaks into two little pieces..
I didn't say there was no difference. Everything I said is in the videos and articles here:
chalk comparison resource page
And all of my testing procedures are easy for others to do if they want to methodically compare chalks and reach their own conclusions. Much of the "marketing hype" and "qualitative testimonials" out there is not very trustworthy.

Dave
Dave, I agree with you. The words posted in BLUE were from Deanoc as I was just just giving him the "business" with what he said yesterday and then what he posted here. Thus, that is Deanoc's post. he's a good guy and just joshing with him why his opinion changed so fast :grin-square:
Thanks,
magic chalk does stick better... to everything including cb at least for me YMMV
This ‘test’ of mine was not scientific I’ll leave that to Dr. Dave I was annoyed by constantly being told my silver cup (which I used because was cleaner than masters) was crap so compared in the ways were important to me and just thought I’d share what I found
If I didn’t care about cost I would probably buy blue diamond or lava but the ntc was only ever so slightly messier and heck of a lot cleaner than masters at a buck or two more a dozen so will probably be my go to for the next 20 yrs the way silver cup was the last 20
Could care less what the pros use
Could care less what anyone Is using as I found my answer
I think everyone needs to calm down ‘tis only chalk.... not like I was comparing your wives

So if Magic Chalk sticks to the cue ball doesn’t that mean you’ll get more skids?
I would think chalks like magic leave more marks on the cue ball at least when I’ve tried them
This I think increases the likelihood of things like skids but that’s probably something you could find reading Dr Dave’s reports
Also depends on what you’re playing and how often you can clean off cb and obs
I found I could put light layer of magic chalk on freshly shaped tip then put on one of the less messy ones it wouldn’t mark ball
Theoretically that’s probably best of both worlds but really not worth the effort if you chalk every shot
Of everything I shot with blue diamond was cleanest by very slim margin but roughly 3x the cost at least prices I’ve seen running about 30$ a dozen
That’s not that bad if you don’t have sometimers and forgetting to pick chalk up before leaving the hall
Probably lose 1 a week that way

Actually, I think he meant stick to the "tip" better, not the cue ball.
If you can shoot 50 or so shots before chalking again, it would seem "odd" that chalk is marking up the cue ball very much as the chalk stays on the tip for a very long time.
Also, lots of snookers players are now using MC because of the skid issues. They like the idea of the chalk staying on the tip and not transferring to cue ball and table, etc.
Just saying
