Kamui would have to prove it to me that $ 25.00 for a piece of chalk is worth it. I have been using Masters Chalk all my life and to me it, suits me well, and I only pay $14.00 for a gross ( 144 pieces ). I'm sure they put it into the top players hands for free, and that is fine, and that way people see how they play. But I think you need to showcase it if you're ever going to get the lesser players to buy it. There if they see the players using, they can see for themselves if it is worth the cost of $ 25.00. You take of the bar room pool 8-Ball being played, thousands and thousands of players. Here is your best chance to showcase your product. This is not meant that your product isn't worth it, just to me , you would have to prove it to me to switch from Masters Chalk. This would also a chance to show the players how your Kamui Tips are also. this is just my opinion....not meant to bash Kamui, just a chance to showcase your product to the mass of players out there
