New Predator chalk

I’m the last few days I’ve seen some of these pros hinting at a new chalk from predator. I’m assuming they are getting into the $20 chalk game. But also I’ve seen that they have three different hardnesses soft, medium and hard.
 
After that it’ll be extra soft, extra medium, extra hard. After that new and improved. And after that small medium large … our hands, table, shaft will be cleaner than before. The chalk will last longer than the last piece. A few years out it will be WiFi or Bluetooth … you’ll never touch it.
 
They need to do something to get back in that game. Their current 1080 chalk works well, but it isn’t even a remote competitor to Taom for cleanliness. I keep the rest of my five pack around in case I play somewhere that I don’t have to vacuum up afterwards.

You’re forgetting the colors too

Yes, the colors. Why do the manufacturers assume that the only color table out there are deep blue? No chalk is naturally blue. There are no inexpensive natural blue pigments, in fact blue pigments are singled out in classical writings as a symbol of wealth. Essentially all inexpensive blue pigments are phthalocyanines, the most produced organic pigment in the world today, which is added to the chalk during processing. There are cheap organic pigments for magenta, yellow and black that could be added just as easily, so is a simple problem to make chalk about any color you want.

I wouldn't be nearly as upset with the current Predator chalk if at least the dust matched the cloth.

Wow. One post told me WAY more than i ever hoped to know about chalk.

Reactions: ACL
looks like the released it to the public recently. I saw it on their website and its $40 for 144 pieces. So about 30 cents per cube. not bad considering prices on some other chalk out there.

I am wondering how it performs compared to the higher dollar chalks, specifically in cleanliness (dust) and leaving marks all over balls.
