Seybert's has Kamui Chalk

I should further clarify that you do not need to chalk after every shot with this chalk. A buddy and I played 19 games of 9 ball until a miscue. So where a normal cube of chalk may last a person a month, the Kamui will last much longer. More bang for your buck!!

What is not clear from your post is the frequency of chalking during those 19 games.

Was it never?... or was it every 4th or 5th shot?.. or whatever?

Also, in my experience, a miscue is normally a function of quality of stroke in combination with the offset of tip placement from true center ball... in combination with the amount of chalk at the extreme periphery of the tip.

Point being, a miscue can occur with a properly chalked tip but the shooter attempted to play so far off center that he miscued.

So pls clarify what happened during those 19 games and what caused the miscue in your opinion.



I should add... I can play 50 games of 9-ball without ever chalking if I stay within a 1/2 tip of true center ball on every shot.

Excellent point CD. Miscues have more to do with stroke imho as well.

As far as lasting longer goes I pay about .25 per cube for my masters chalk. That cube of Kamui would have to last at least 100 times longer than my masters chalk to be worth it as far as price vs. longevity is concerned.

Kamui makes some great products, their tips and gator grip tool are two of my favorite but they set the price too high for me on this one.

I also tried the blue diamond chalk and found it to be good quality but it left a mess on my table and caused me to clean my cloth twice as much.
 
Priorities

For those folks willing to fork over several thousand bucks for a famous-maker cue, why would they hesitate to spend a measly $25 to chalk it? C'mon, you gotta show some class.

Class? I got to disagree with ya here. For me I think it's showing good sense not to buy it, and it has NOTHING to do with class. IMO having good class has nothing to do with how much you spend, rather its a poor substitute for class.

So where is the cut-off, 25 bucks, 50 bucks, 100 bucks per cube...... how much class do you have? Sorry, but I'll stick to my low class sensible ways!

You might guess from my avatar that I enjoy tossing the bait on the water. Thanks for the hook-up!
 
I have to agree with the thought that it seems a bit hypocritical for those who are willing to spend thousands of dollars on a cue, or hundreds of dollars on a case, to disparage people who are willing to spend $25 on a piece of chalk.

None of those items are necessary to play pool well. Not a $2000 cue, not a $600 case, nor a $25 piece of chalk. Similarly, none of those items are going to make a bad player (like me) play significantly better.

People certainly don't have to buy $25 chalk, and people certainly have the right to believe it's not worth it. And to state that, if you belive it strongly enough. But to come on here and crap on people who do see the value in it seems.... wrong.

Well, I'm going to bow out here, this is taking a wrong turn. To the OP and others who like this chalk I never meant to discourage you I was only stating why I thought it was a bad choice for me personally. Enjoy the chalk and the game. :smile:

Sorry Sir, but it s true.

The Kamui chalk is the best chalk ever made to date.

You can definately impart more spin on the cue ball than with any other chalk.

Yes, it is expensive but IMHO it is well worth it.

Its amazing how many people bash the chalk without ever having tried it for themselves.

I've never seen anyone bashing the chalk; just the price.

There is another chalk on the market that is very similar and also alot for a cube.I was told it was almost as difficult to get. I think it is a new technology that is going to take off. I mean just today, Seyberts now only have 13 pieces left.By end of tomorrow it will be all gone.

The harder you make something to get, the more people will want to get it. Weird.

Yes I went to the mountain, SEYBERTS. Yes I saw the .98 small cube of magic. But I could not pull the trigger. I don't know if Aug. 3 soc. sur. cks. will be mailed out? I'm hoping Aug. 4 there will be one piece not sold. Please some of you guys hold back from buying, please. :D

Blue Diamond isn't 14 times better than Master, and plenty of folks spend 3.50 on that.

Chalk is a consumable while collectible cues have a standing value that for some appreciates over time. Over time the chalk will be used up if it is actually used for playing. The cue, on the other hand can be maintained to a high level and if need be it can be refinished without losing much value.
 
Too late, it is all gone untill their next shipment. That was quick.
I guess the secret is now out.
