Pre-flag master chalk, ask tweeten

Most of the chalk here is no flag chalk. Too hard to tell if it is before 01 or not.
Quite a few of the older players prefer the Triangle Green.

Dear Slim. Would you like to fight? You seem like you are picking one. I was trying to be helpful. I did do a quick search under pre-flag and I suppose I could have read every post of every single thread. But since I saw guys on here selling and looking to buy, I thought I would relate my conversation with Nemecek and spread the word as needed. I am trying to help. I guess Slim is the AZ police. And no, I did not say they were the same, Skip Nemecek the manufacturer did. I say old chalk is sh#t and that new chalk is my preference. Slim, do not ever, ever post on one of my threads again. If you all would like, do a search of my posts and you will find me trying to be helpful when I can, complimentary when appropriate, and I admit that I am not perfect. But I do not need to be insulted for trying to help fellow AZers by citing a credible source, the manufacturer.

I for one like what you have tried to do with your original post:cool:
But I really like this response to slim, the part about fighting and never posting in my threads again had me rolling:rotflmao:
 
Slim, you must of missed the part where the OP said you were not allowed to reply in any of his posts ever again. I'm sure it was just a mistake, but please make sure it never happens again. Oddly enough, the OP accuses you of being the AZ police, yet sets such rules against you. Obviously you don't understand his personal rules.
 
I dunno. I bought a table a few months back from a guy that didn't play very often or at all. He had two dozen pre flag master chalk cubes in the box of "Accessories" that came with the table (most of it was junk). I recently ran through all of that chalk and bought a gross of current chalk. The only difference that I noticed was the color of the chalk, but one those 2 dozen chalk were probably 15 years old! Plays the same though.
 
i have 2 cases of blue master chalk that i bought in 1985.

after reading this thread, i compared that chalk to new chalk.

whether due to age or composition - the 1985 chalk is a slighly different shade and clearly adheres better.
 
I realize i am not allowed to post on this thread

but, i just have to say i think that it is kind of amusing that a review gets posted for a chalk that just about all of us used every time we shot a game of pool before 9/11/2001

and not only were we using shitt chalk, on 9/12/2001 it became better chalk.

This is the second or third time that I've seen people here mention that they've spoken to the guy who owns the company.

Has anyone thought to ask him specifically if the dye supplier could possibly have changed their formula? He can answer very truthfully that his company has never changed their formula, and not cause harm to potential future sales.

Like others have said, I have no dog in this fight. Just thought this pesky little detail keeps getting left out in the discussions.

(People keep complaining about the plethora of aiming threads. How many times does "pre flag" masters get talked about here. :p )

Not saying this would ever happen. But just suppose two or more guys or gals here would ever so slightly mention in a post. Hey I over heard Efern's people an Parica himself trying to get hold of some more pre-flag master. Roomer has it that it has to be blue. Man it was told to be and I won't ever mention who told me but they are willing to pay $10.00 per piece. An one guy said Efern paid $50.00 an said it was his new mojo. Just saying with the right marketing you could make Kamui chalk seem cheap. I can feel the price going up now. Better start buying it up. :thumbup:

I don't know what that article is supposed to enlighten us about. Does anyone have a subscription so that we could perhaps see the test results? Does anybody really give a shit enough to pay for one?

Would you then test a current piece of chalk from the same mfg to determine if it contains the same amount of lead?

I just think this whole subject is hilarious. If ever I see a guy in real life start talking about pre-flag master chalk, I'll just chuckle. If you think you are missing shots or missing balls because you used current Master chalk instead of preflag master chalk, you are diluted.
 
Another heavy sigh...
Maybe I am deluded (or diluted, lolol), but what this link shows is that there was, indeed, lead in the chalk pre 9/11. You may not have heard, but laws were passed to force manufacturers to remove it from their products, like pool chalk. To some, this makes a difference, to others it doesn't. Chuckle away, I'm joining you!
:p
 
This story mentions green chalk and there's no follow up to determine if anything was done about it. Not ALL lead has been removed, there's a standard for how much lead is acceptable. It's completely possible that there's exactly the same amount of lead in pre flag chalk as post flag chalk. This obscure, limited, mid 90's article doesn't stand as substantiated evidence that the formula for Master Chalk has changed.
 
Again, I was just passing along Nemecek's statement

You are spinning your wheels trying to tell people the truth that there is no difference in the make up of masters chalk. The conspiracy has already won, and anyone knows preflag is better and has magic ingredients such as lead. As with almost everything it is a conspiracy where the government has regulated out the best material.

Use what you want, I honestly hope you are getting your money's worth.
 
Lead pain test meter

There is no proof that there was ever lead in the old Pre Flag, just as there is no proof that the Government was involved at all.

there are testers that you can simply point at lead paint to test, and I am sure there is a chemical test. I have none with me here on the road, or I would have it tested myself just out of curiosity...
