Maybe the more astute can find parallels. I do believe pool is a performance genre requiring endurance - especially of muscle tone and certainly not just strong quads and abs. Quick muscle response is vital as well. I find the hypocrisy of this performance enhancer amusing as well.
If someone is going to spend $30 bucks on a cube of chalk because its cleaner why in God's name would you put it upside down on the rail?? That is the most ridiculous thing I heard all week so far. And wouldn't it be that one must not have many worries if they are concerned about chalk placement instead of the other way around? If you worry about chalk facing down you must jot have anything else that worries you???

I use “expensive” chalk and could put it upside down. My chalk doesn’t leave crap on the table.

Every body please!!!!! Chalk up…. Not down.
ive played longer than many have been alive here and never until this new crop of complaining players has anyone and i mean anyone ever has said anything about how the chalk should be placed on the table. all of a sudden its important.

Honestly I remember those Bob Byrnes instructional videos. I used to watch them over and as a teen and pre teen. I was kind of a pool fanatic. I think he mentioned something about pool “etiquette.” I think he did at least. Anyways it always stuck with me. It double irks me if they slam it face down.
Ask Efren. He used to do that!
It's common sense. A lot of courtesy for a little effort. Hasn't always been considered though, agreed.
Really, each should bring and take a piece each inning.
heck people smoked while shooting and ashes dropped on the table. which had chalk all over it and powder.
cigs were put on the rail so you had ashes and burns on the rails.
tables werent cleaned but maybe brushed once a day before they opened. your hands were blue and your shaft was also.
just the way it was and a thing of the past. makes the chalk thing now seem trivial.
