It's very tough to find. "Tony Longoni" was selling some on AZ. <edited>
It's great chalk but you will pay out the wazoo for it.
If it's just the LEADED chalk you're looking for (READ: "the good stuff"), I just happened to have 2 gross (that's 24 dozen) of the PRE-FLAG BLUE MASTERS - which is back when it was still loaded with lead carcinogens!
If you'd like a dozen or 2, PM me with an offer - I don't have a clue what to charge for it.
Also, I do have another source for Blue Diamond - I'll look for the link and will PM you with it. But they charge roughly the same as Tony.

I have a pile of 15 year old Master's and the new stuff and there is zero difference-I looked at alot of each and old and new, on different tips. I'm very good at noticing things up close and on soft,med,hard tips there is no differene in the chalk, I also looked at the transfer of the chalk to the CB and it to was the same for both old and new. The only difference I have EVER noticed in Masters chalk over the years is once in a while there is a box that is a bit sandy and grayer than the normal, I see alot of it in Europe.
It's made by Tweeten right here in the US. Why is it so hard to find? I bought mine from Longoni, and it IS better than Master. Here is the web site http://www.longonicues.com/spares/blue diamond.htm but you're better off sending a PM to Tony Longoni.

Yes
Yes, I am on the waiting list with Tony. He is currently out of stock. At first I was skeptical of chalk this expensive, but it sticks so well that you need very little. The only mis-cues that I've had since using BD are from going 6-7 shots without adding chalk.
You really dont notice how good it is until you have to use some other chalk.
Thanks to everyone for responding and a very special thanks to Fatboy, who made my day by hooking me up with some extra he had. I'm ordering extra from Tony next time!

hi everybody, yes im currently out of the chalk but im doing my best to get more as soon as possible. i will post again when i get more in. but to clarify, i dont charge $10 per box. the price is $7 per box including shipping and always has been. people dont realize it cost me almost $2 per box to get it shipped here, $1 packing supplies, then roughly .75 in postage per box to ship it to the customer. if somebody only orders one or two boxes, i break even. the incredibly weak USD compared to the EURO, and the high cost of shipping make it very hard for me to sell chalk here in the states for a profit, i do it more to keep my orders up and get the longoni name out there. those of you who know me, know that i do my best to keep my prices as reasonable as possible and i will always do that, but unfortunately there are somethings that are out of my control (shipping costs, euro/USD ratio). I look forward to doing business with everyone again soon. have a great holiday- Tony
The only chalk I've bought in 3 years has been Blue Diamond and Sang Lee - both of which average $3.00+ per cube.
Perhaps there's no scientific difference, but this game is as much mental and confidence in
your equipment as golf is, so to me it's worth it.
Besides, I like to shape my own chalk!
Happy New Year!

Tony is a stand-up guy to do biz with, i'll 100% vouch for him, I just dont like the chalk but i'm in the minority, it works great. It just makes my hands feel sticky and I have wet hands its just me not the chalk. I would recommend to anyone, it dosent wear down faster than any other chalk from what I have seen, Its only expensive if you lose it, hell a piece of chalk will last hours and hours. I wish I could make it work for me but it just dosent.
The weak USD$ is gonna bite us all hard in the near future, it did stregthen a bit this week, but its still way off from a year ago compaired to the Euro, Tony aint getting rich on this deal I can promis anyone that.
Mr. Truck i'll get it sent out on Wed. 6 or 7 cubes, and the rest when I get to my LA house.
I'm gonna find a lab and send in some old and new master chalk and get a lead content test done on it. I dont think it changed much if any.

I just went to the site and entered like I was going to purchase 10 boxes and it came to $62.99 $6 a box w/$2.99 shipping. Not too bad at all. Not sure where anyone is finding them at $3 a box. If you can find them for that price please let me know.kgeorgia said:

You could buy directly from the manufacturer for $7 a box with "no shipping" or $6 a box from PC-Billiards with $2.99 shipping. Say you wanted to buy 10 boxes. From manufacturer = $70. From PC-Billiards = $62.99. I know where I would buy from. I have never been accused of being smart thoughbestkites said:
