The history of Chalk
In the early days of slip on tips, there was chalk, and it was good. Found only in rec halls, beer-dives and garages throughout the land – chalk was free – and everyone informed everyone else at each opportunity.
Soon the pool-player evolved, tastes refined, and the first cue was bought out of the back of a station wagon. Chalk was to be forever shunned, and Expert Chalk Chalk reigned supreme. Dressed in square plastic cases with decorative sticks and 30-06 shells, well – “It went wherever I did go”.
Then the epiphany, the custom cue – built to exacting specifications and standards with comprehensive molecular structure, and NAMES….. And Chalk Chalk would no longer do.
The universe was in chaos; deflection was invented, and then squirt. Spheres no longer obeyed the universal laws of Chalk like behavior.
Fortunately an unknown Czechoslovakian invented indigo emerald Chalk, Chalk, Chalk, Made from powdered butterfly wing mixed with the appropriate amount of moon dust and shipped in it’s own two piece case by African swallows (not the non-migratory European swallows) this product was the very, very, best (especially for young women all between the ages of 19 and a half and 23). But I digress….
This supreme invention actually improved everyone’s game - for exactly one session.
Time wore on, deflection became squirt, then deflection again. People started playing without so much as a ferrule, and good old Chalk Chalk was still there. While not as good as the old Chalk Chalk (because they added a banner), this chalk still worked pretty good and reversion saved several swallows a year (African of course).
Then once again, cheap beer dives and rec halls, this time with a slightly different crowd, yet somehow the same.
Anyone know where I can get some slip on tips? – or should that question be asked in the “Wanted for Sale” section?
