pool players have become soo picky and emotional ... no wonder people dont like watching
i literally don't care where the chalk is … but i don't agonize over something that matters so little.

I agree! I miss the old days. Sometimes it’s just easier to compromise than deal with potential drama.

I tried the whole chalk holder thing. And i just couldn't get use to it. So I'm using without.

I don’t like chasing the chalk around the table. I tried the stick in the pocket one for a while but it kept falling out. I replaced the plastic stick with a brass spike (from an old shipwreck). Stayed in the pocket, but heavy to chalk with.
Searched for a good Magnet one for a while and decided to make my own. I never have a problem with it falling off except the occasional big bump. I’ve seen chalk fall off the table or out of the pocket just as much. I really like the magnet for the convenience and never getting distracted looking for the chalk on the table.
I started with a cheap money clip for a while until they doubled in price all of a sudden, so I tried my hand at making one.
I ended making a batch since people at league wanted one. Some also wanted a pocket stick type, so I made a few of those too.
These were a lot of work to make them look good and hide the magnet from sight. If you just want the function, glue a neo-magnet on the chalk and throw another magnet in your pocket like TipWilson does.

yeah its a real tragedy to have to walk a few feet and get the cube off the rail.

Of course, it's not. I just like not having to. It was a fun project and I like gadgets if they are useful to me.
For me it's a mutual respect thing. I don't leave stuff on the table for my opponent to deal with. I don't think it much to ask to expect the same. That said, I don't get bent out of shape for a piece of chalk. Now when it becomes 2, 3, or more. Then I make the effort to collect them and place them out of the way.
I make the strongest pull one on the market (to my knowledge). It is designed to use up to 4 magnets to adjust pull strength. And I only use N40+ magnets. So 4 magnets is REALLY strong. I have 4 size clips for pants, belts, etc. Options for spacers, pocket disc (which is also a ball marker) caps, etc.
Also, here's a video review from SSOP.

Yeah that 50 bucks is killing me... Just can't seem to justify it. If I lost that I'd really be upset!!
Welcome to Peradon
Made with simulated leather and has a magnetic clip that your chalk clips onto and the fob hangs from your belt. Comes complete with a block of Triangle chalk.

This caught my attention, but I cannot find it here. It's only in the UK, Peradon wants $34.00 just for shipping! The Kamui is cheaper than that combined cost and available on Amazon.
Thank you for the link, it may be the ticket. I did watch thevideo and went to the Etsy accout and he does offer one for square chalk. I have used Magic chalk since day one and gave RJ the info on it in the beginning/ I got the connection from Mary Avina a long time ago.I make the strongest pull one on the market (to my knowledge).

Thanks again for the heads up!
Two pages of nonsense. It seems to be a trend on this site.
I don't use the sleeve that came with this magnet. I use one similar to the one in this link: https://seyberts.com/collections/ch...-magnetic-chalk-holder?variant=41732735271110. Holds the chalk on two sides and has a solid bottom. Can be used with a variety of chalk shapes. I slip the magnet (not clip) down into my jeans/shorts back pocket and all is good. No problems whatsoever.
All that said, most of the time I just use my chalk without a holder and set it on the rail while shooting.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
That's what I do but I also add a short piece of 1" clear heat shrink tubing for extra security.
We could be discussing best cue, best aiming system, best ball set, best tip, etc, etc, etc.
Would you rather????
I ether put it my pocket.or when it's on the rail. Just make sure I take it with me, when I sit down. I know quite a few, don't like you leaving chalk on the table.

The game is all about potting balls. You can do it with a house cue or with a Balabushka. No one cares what your using on the tip. Most of this BS is a millennial thing. Never walked in a bar or pool hall; pulled something off the rack; taken everyone’s money home with them.
