Blue Diamond Chalk Is Ready!

I dont think it's unfair or "cheap" to ask for a comparison between it and master when master chalk has basically beat every other chalk worse than SVB beat Earl strickland.

No offense to people on here but just "taking a pool players word for it" just wont cut it.. This is the same forum that every other week a new flavor is out thats the latest and greatest thing ever. Then a few weeks later it's not.

Hmmmm...

How does this chalk compare to Masters ? I have been trying to buy some Green Masters but seem unable to get it ... We are a small town and it is hard to get this unless you go through ebay ... We have a store here very small and they don't sell much in the way of pool supplies in fact they carry more in the line of darts. And have a few cheap Adams setting in a rack for sale not more then 10 of them and nothing over a 100.00 ... The store is mostly there to take care of the business of up keep on the pool tables in town (clubs and pool hall) as the owner supplies/ownes all of them here. You can order a good cue from a catalog they have when they can find it to look at ... I have been trying to order Masters through them with no luck thier supplier only comes once a month and they always seem to forget to order it.

Guess that is life in a small town in South Georgia ...

All I know is, that Bottled water that cost $2.25 per is way better than tap water. :eek: lol

If it is as good as some of you say, I may have to try it out.

nah.. your avatar is plenty smokin hot. don't have avatar envy!
 
Chalk works great.. Just as a comparison, the blue diamond chalk actually sticks to the phenolic tip of my Pred BK2 break cue very well unlike the Master Chalk. It also sticks to the pred air jump cue too. I think that's when you can really tell if theres a difference. Definitely worth a try..
 
there has been a lot of pissing up of this thread, but i have a legit question. This chalk has to be more abrasive right? What are the effects of this chalk on the cloth on my table and more importantly on my shafts?

Thanks,

Got Mine

I just got mine and will be trying it out tonight
Green for you + itrade

Thanks
 
Something about it

Got mine today. There is something about this chalk--I can see what people are saying. The difference is subtle, but real; provides an extra measure of confidence, especially on draw shots. Well worth trying.
 
Highly Recommend

The fact that I highly recommend this chalk should mean nothing to any body, and that does not bother me in the least. Me recommending something versus a pro recommending it is a big difference. I will tell you that this chalk outperforms green and blue master chalk. I have no interest in convincing anybody, to each their own. I bought a few boxes and couldn't hold on to them because people kept buying it off me. I have never had anyone say they don't want to pay for it. If people want to pay money to try it, more power to you, I think you'd be happy. If people don't, that is perfectly ok by me also.

I don't understand why people don't use moori tips either, but I am not going to preach the value of "the best" tip or chalk. Why pay even $200 for a cue and not put the best tip and chalk on it? Maybe it is all in my head (I doubt it), but even if it is, I'll still pay for it.

From what I've read on chalk, this chalk would be finer and not as clumpy, which allows it to get into the tip better. I doubt the difference is in the abrasiveness, but how it interacts with your tip. I don't know what you mean by the effect on your cloth or shaft, the only thing that matters is your tip. If you clump a piece of chalk onto your tip, it won't do much to help your shot. If you wipe chalk onto a hard tip that you can rub off with your finger, the chalk won't help your shot. The idea is to get the chalk into the fibers of the cue so that they stay there longer and interact with the fibers. That is why you have to scuff the tip.

As I said, this chalk is much finer (in my un-professional opinion) and less clumpy.

I'm not telling you to buy the chalk, just that I think it is worth it.

My Understanding was that for the chalk to do what people have said it does, it has to be more abrasive than say master chalk. Chalk invariably gets on your shaft (bluing) and on the cloth of your table. If this chalk is more abrasive and gets on my shaft and cloth is there going to be ill effects on them? Tony?
