I had a new piece of Great White with a magnet on it, a team mate wanted to borrow it so I left it with him and said I would get it next week. The next week I ask for it back and he informs it went down the pocket on the table, I said no problem, just get me another piece. He says he figures he don't owe me a piece of chalk because it was the guy he was playing that knocked it down the pocket and I should collect from him. You cant argue with that kind of stupidity. :mad::mad:

I would kick his cue over every time I walked past it...

...have dropped an expensive piece of chalk down the pocket of a Diamond table.

I have done it about three times and have been able to retrieve two. Now, I've kinda trained myself to be more careful but sheet-at happens. Just a couple of days ago a brand new piece of green Pyro came tumbling down the ball return -- so sad for someone but then I'm just around break even, lol.

Play on 'Drop Pocket or No Pocket' tables!
 
I have never lost chalk in a pocket that I can recall.

About 25 years ago I bought a magnetic chalk holder that clips onto a belt, sweat pants or just about anything. It has an amazingly powerful magnet and combined with the superb clip it is one of my must have pool items.

I lost it I once for about six months then found it while vacuuming my office. During that time I tried many others and none were even close to my old standby.

No idea where I bought it or from who. Go figure..

No, but you can punch it in the face 🤷‍♂️
 
I did it once in a pool hall. The way the tables are setup like this are the dumbest way of doing it. I prefer the Brunswick kway of doing it
 
I've done it several times on my Pro Am...I can usually reach it via the pocket, but when I can't, I follow it with four or five balls, then I can rake it out from the ball return with my break cue. I try not to keep too many cubes on the rail at a time, but s@#t happens...but then again, I'm a Masters guy, so no panic if I lose one.
