Thanks for the reply!

I didn't get mine.....:sorry:
Ive never tried these types of chalk. ILl give it a go
Ok, I had a chance to use the Great White chalk that Chris so generously provided, and here is my quick, non-technical review (and w/o knowing the price point):
Throw away your Kamui! The Great White 'blue' sample that was sent was everything I remembered about the Kamui chalk, but without the mess on the table as you play, which was a pleasant surprise. I would think that the simple fact of way less mess w/similar performance would be enough to make the change from Kamui...and I'm guessing it's less money.
It did not seem to transfer near as much chalk to the cueball as Kamui and stayed on my tip while spinning the ball a lot for at least 12-15 shots w/o having to rechalk. I don't recommend not chalking for this long in a game, but that seems to be what all are measuring against.
It also was very smooth when being applied to the tip and had excellent coverage (similar to the Kamui feel when applied). The blue is more like a powder blue (more white then blue), but worked. Again, I love the plastic case that Great White was shipped in.
I then compared it to Magic Chalk since I already did my own comparison and found that chalk to be the best of the bunch, especially for the price point. The Great White made a little more mess while applying to the tip, but after that they seemed similar in performance. The Magic Chalk had that more familiar sound and feel during application as you would feel using traditional chalk, while Great White was smoother (more similar to Kamui). Great White is a round cube where Magic Chalk is the traditional square cube.
I would not hesitate to use either of these chalks in an important match as both performed really well. I guess it would depend on the price point and how convenient they are to purchase. However, if you chalk after every shot, it has been said that chalk really doesn't matter as much, but if I had to spin the bejeezus out of the cueball at an important juncture of a match, I would prefer to have one of these two on my tip.
Chris, thanks for allowing me to try this out, as mentioned, I was pleasantly surprised how clean it played. I wish you luck with this and all of your products.

May not have had your address in the right folder... email it to me and I will get you taken care of... Outsville@hotmail.com
Thanks Dave... I appreciate you taking time to post this.. One of the main reasons we stopped doing the drawings and I lost focus on them was because I would send out 10-20 of something and there would be PMs and emails but noone really took the time to review... Maybe that was just bad luck on the ones we did before..
The light blue was a decision we made because of the bleed factor.. Going darker the blue content would transfer on to other materials further and cause some staining and I couldn't stand it...
The white is and will be my favorite because it doesn't stain ANYTHING...
So if we were going blue it needed to be blue enough to satisfy room owners but I wanted it light enough so that it still was a cleaner product so you and your cue could appreciate it....
Have a few 2nds building up that I will be giving away at the Open if anyone is going.... If I come home with any we will likely do another give away....
CHARLIE!!!! I need your address info again... I was going to send out the replacement and I can't find where you had contacted me... Will definitely include a cube of the blue since it has been a month......
Chris,
Tried to PM,, but says your either not receiving or can't. Sent to your company email and re responded to your email to me not sure what is best for you....
Best of luck
Love to get to the OPEN but maybe Steinway's for me.
Charlie
Got IT!!! There is always the Make it Happen 10-Ball in December in New Jersey =D I hear they may be using some kind of Blue Template.......
Thanks, Chris. My pleasure - you have a winning product hear as far as I'm concerned. I understand the bleed or stain factor on the balls, but what impressed me was there did not seem to be much if any chalk that I could see on the clothe. This was a real issue w/Kamui and some others I tried.
Continued success.
Dave
pm sent, thank you very much
I received my blue "cube" in the mail earlier this week. I've had a chance to play with it a bit, and I have to say upon first impression, I really like it. It's a lot firmer than the white was. It doesn't disintegrate upon application, or make a mess all over the table. It doesn't stick to the cue ball as much as the white did for me. It stays on the tip well, and I feel it performs better than Masters or Blue Diamond. I haven't tried Kamui or Magic chalk, so I can't speak to that. It is a lighter shade of blue than you might be used to, but that's just fine. It doesn't show up all over the table like the white does. I'm still not sure how I feel about the cylindrical shape, feels a little bit awkward in your hand after being so used to holding a cube. That's a little distracting. But overall, excellent product. Thanks Chris!
still in waiting.....
I still haven't received mine?
