Does the color of chalk matter that much?

Briggs & Stratton 3700-PSI 4.2-GPM Water Gas Pressure Washer

Just use the small tip on a power washer and it cleans right up.
Clamp the shaft down really, really, good.
Use the wide tip on the cloth and put a fan on it.

You can also wash your hair with Pantene, use tip # 3
Don't get too close.

Some folks like that "badge of honor" dirty look - pantene (sp) I've heard it call (just not sure how to spell it .. lol). I'm with the keep it clean group though.

Actually, I think more folks are in this camp then the keeping the shaft spick and span ;)

Patina I think you are looking for- a strange word.
 
I play with lots of different kinds of chalk.

It’s all Blue, and it’s all good.

Call me crazy, but I think the Master Green stays on best.

I have pre-flag Masters and some say there isnt a difference, but I think there is a difference.:eek:

One room owner told me the blue chalk leaves less noticeable marking of table cloth.
I ordered green masters by mistake one time instead of blue.I felt the green was
smoother during application than the blue,felt less gritty .

Yeah, I realized that error after posting. We have had players come in here that insist on using the same color chalk they use on their home pool table, such as camel or burgundy, simply because they don't want the blue chalk on their cue tip. If I happen to notice it, I politely tell them their chalk discolors our pool cloth, and most of them are nice enough to switch. If I don't notice it, I have to deal with trying to get those chalk marks out of the cloth, which is often extremely hard to do.

That's fair. I've never owned a pool room, so I can't really say from experience how hard it is to keep people from messing things up. I'd imagine any place can get some real jerks - but for myself, I always try to respect the equipment like it was my own.

Good for you! The majority of people who go to pool rooms do NOT, in my experience.

It's not just the /color/ of chalk - but also the brand. Some chalks seem to be much cleaner than others, and leave less of a mess behind. I've seen several threads here on AZB which discuss all the various qualities of different brands - maybe try a search and read through some of them. A lot of it is personal preference, and not everyone really cares what chalk they use. I'm not terribly picky, but I do keep a half dozen of the Magic Chalk around for myself simply because in the long run I tend to like it the best. I haven't done my own review yet mainly because I keep finding new brands to try. Maybe after I try this ridiculously priced Taom and Mezz chalk - I'll give it a shot.

Concur with Ched's assessment. I've found that the finer, softer chalks like Kamui leave a lot of marks and are difficult to clean. I have my table covered with Simonis 860 tournament green, and use Silver Cup green chalk to minimize visible marks. But I brush my table at least once a week, more with heavier use, to prevent buildup. I really like Great White chalk, but as the name implies, its white, and it leaves a lot of marks. The place that color matters is at big tournaments like BCA Nationals in Las Vegas, where they constantly harp on "this is a blue chalk tournament" and threaten to confiscate your non-blue chalk. Haven't seen it happen, but they announce it regularly.
