best chalk

All an all no matter what chalk you use its the cheapest thing in your game. Get real, try BD or masters or whatever. Myself I buy Blue Diamond by the case. I like it, an it works great for me an my game is worth it at least to me. :smile:

You are right my chalk is super cheap I "borrow" new pieces from the poolhall every couple of weeks.

I like NIR chalk better than Blue Diamond. It seems to stay on forever.
Anyway I run out of it and I'm using Blue Diamond.
Seems ok as well, doubt it is worth the price.
Blue Master chalk is fine too.

Most of the time chalk is not the problem but lack of proper tip maintenance.

Longoni Chalk may claim to be "Made in USA," but I'll tell ya, that advertisement definitely looks like it was made in China, e.g.:

  • "A Traditional Longoni Creation, Innovative During Time!" (Say what? What does "innovative during time" mean?)
  • "Used by the best billiard professionals all over the world is produced with a secret Longoni formula created over 30 years ago." (Two separate sentences joined very clumsily with "is produced"?)
  • "A real diamond for your cue: every english get the maximum result increasing your game performances." ("A real diamond of dyslexia" that sentence is for sure!)
  • "The long seasoning allows a high mixture solidity and a long-lasting performance." (What is "long seasoning"? Sounds like we're marinating meat or something. And what is "high mixture solidity"? This last sentence really reads like a Wal-Mart single-sheet-of-paper "assembly instructions"!)

This is a very sloppy ad for a company like Longoni!

Don't forget Longoni is an Italian company. If they originally wrote this ad for the Italian market it may have suffered in the translation. Things happen.
 
Russian Magic Chalk...

Speaking of Russian Magic Chalk...

I ordered a box of this just to try it out, and I think Magic Chalk is better than Blue Diamond. It seems to coat the tip better, which means it grabs the ball better.

I like Blue Diamond better than Master's chalk, but Russian Magic chalk is by far my favorite!
 
I can not believe this did not die long ago. Best is like Best of ANYTHING. It is a personal choice, personal like, dislike, and maye when that Pro Player is say I like BRAND XXX, it is because they give them FREE CHALK, and a Few Bucks for the endorsement. Like Wilform Brimley, and Liberty Medical!

I hear you, and I was just giving *my opinion*. I know that there are a lot of players that like the BD, and I was one of them. I thought it was a step up from Master's.

After trying this stuff, I think it's a step up from BD, but again, that's just me...
 
Me I use Master Green, have some BD, and MASTER BLUE, and it is alway back to GREEN. THE Blue Diamond was given to me, and I keep it for a reason, that maybe some day I will run out of GREEN MASTER!
