Watching long-time players leave the chalk upside down on the rail drives me nuts!

Chalk face always up it only makes sense....
Other than a small little sharking move, there's really no need for it.

Something to think about next time you see a smudge on a rail. :yikes:
My brother does it every time he plays on my table. I'm OCD with keeping my table clean, vacuumed and polished. When I see the blue dust everywhere, I can't wait for the match to be over just so I can wipe everything down.
drives me nuts, when ....before i play ,i dampen a large piece of paper towel and wipe the the rails/cushions ........some bangers 2 tables away were eating /smoking/powdering their palms and leaving the talc bottle on the table /and chalking up OVER the table.....also people who drop the balls on table by turning over the basket of balls when they come to the table........or slam the rack after racking ......
We have several players here at Classic Billiards that insist on putting the chalk upside down. My hands and cloths show the chalk every day. Frankly disgusting! They claim its the houseman's job to clean the rails between matches. B.S. Just plain bad manners. Pool or otherwise!

Great reply
LOL.... I was playing a guy in a tournament a couple of years ago. He wouldn't just lay it upside down, he always kind of tapped it onto the table. I had on dress type pants, and kept sitting it upright and brushing off the rail with my hand. Finally, I went to the bathroom in the middle of the set, washed my hands, and brought bach a couple of paper towels. Maybe the guy was getting a kick out of watching me, or maybe he was just an a-hole. I still beat him. Thats almost as bad as the guy who has to use a ton of powder and gets it all over the cloth and the balls. NO MANNERS>>>>>

Wow, I forgot about the players who use baby powder instead of talc. Another group of uncaring players! I HATE cleaning the cloth after a "powder" user has played. They feel they've been wronged!
