Wow now that's a novel thought - whiping the sphincter with Blue Diamond chalk...kinky....S & M? Without getting it on the ferrule?
How or why is the chaulk touching your ferrule?
Listen, you absolutely do need chalking instruction.
Why would you spend good money on Blue Diamond chalk and not pay attention to how it should be used.
It helps if you draw a tiny pentagram on your ferulle and dip your tip in holy water before you start a game. It will help repel the evil abrasive chalk dust
thats trying to take possession of your ferulle.

Listen, since I apparently don't know how to apply chalk on a tip, if any of you want to play some. Please come to Master Billiards in Queens, NYC and I will play you some. Bet something.
I was just curious to see if anyone had the same problem with blue diamond chalk. But apparently everyone is an all knowing railbird/nit. I now realized I asked this in the wrong fourm anyway. I should it be in the "Ask The Cuemaker" because they would know better.

You're lucky you got it back. It's been told that gamblers will put up a borrowed cue as another bet.
I've had a few go that way...but they weren't Tads
more info from the acmf
Have you had any tips replaced on this shaft?
I'd love to see how much chalk it takes to take 1mm off of a ferrule on accident.

so Ace, did we misunderstand you? I see this kind of attitude in people all the time. They receive constructive criticism, but rather than use it and learn and grow from it, they become defensive and try to change the focus...
You might be the best player on the planet, but whether you win or lose, it has absolutely *no bearing* on whether or not you put chalk on correctly. Essentially what happened to you just now is that you asked a question, and got an answer that you were not expecting. Why should that upset you, and compel you to have to challenge people to play? Why change the subject? The point is, no one knows the answer to your question, the same way most of us do not know exactly what happens when you throw your car into reverse while going 80 mph on the highway. It just isn't something people do. I would seriously value your response a lot if you could explain to me why you got all defensive and tried to change the subject, rather then just taking what people said to heart? I'm not jerking you around, I seriously wish I could understand that type of behavior better. Anyway good luck with your ferrule.
KMRUNOUT
I don't think a cuemaker is going to know any more about chalking than any other player who chalks a cue thousands of times. I think you asked the right people but you don't like the answer. You got a little pissy and people started making a joke of the thread. Normally people who play well know the correct way to use equipment and bangers are associated with blue ferrules, excessive use of powder etc...Maybe you do play well, but I don't think blindly calling someone out to play from this forum is such a good idea. A lot of these mofos can play!!!
ace, you should talk to this guy's dad.

Ace, are you using a tip? Ya know, I found putting a tip on the ferrule help striking the cue ball and not getting chalk on your ferrule. You should try this, IMHO it works very well.
One time, when I was seven, I played at my grandpa's and his cues had the tips busted off. Aside frome being seven, I had a hard time workin the cue ball. Once we super glued the tip back on and put some Sportscraft chalk on I ran the sh!t.
And if your wondering, I did have a hard time posing this question with a straight face.

I guess we just got told
Yes, by all means, post your question again in the Cue Maker forum.
I can use more laughs than I got from the first posting.

All you're going to get posting there is the same handful of responses you got here. They're all going to tell you to keep the chalk off your ferrule, like we did.
Did you ever wonder why you got 10-15 responses that said the same thing? Maybe they're right. There is no problem with the chalk. I use Blue Diamond all the time, and I have no wear on any of the three ferrules on my cues. One last time, you shouldn't be getting chalk on your ferrule, or else, yes, it will wear down. It has nothing to do with the brand of chalk though. And now for a public service announcement ...
Here at AZB, we know you have a choice in billiards forums, and we thank you for choosing us. However, we now consider this matter closed. Please direct all unwarranted, overly defensive, borderline pissy comments and all ridiculous, unnecessary challenges you hope aren't actually fulfilled at someone else from this point forward. We hear great things about Yahoo Answers. Thank you, and have a nice day
I must not understand your problem. When I play chalk never gets on my ferrule, for one reason I don't use worn out chalk with a big hole in it. I try to use fairly new chalk and i'm very careful to not let the chalk touch my ferrule. Blue Diamond chalk is pretty expensive as far as chalk goes and I can understand using it as long as you can and maybe you need to be more careful when you chalk your tip. Just wipe the chalk on your tip instead of sticking the tip all the way in to the bottom of the worn piece of chalk.
