Is Silver Cup Chalk the best chalk of all? It may well be, IMHO. Clearly it exists, and one can not play with fictitious chalk, so you can check that box right there to start with. Secondly, it is made in America, who wants commie trash chalk from elswhere, seriously? Given its country of origin, one might wonder why even produce more talking points. But wait, there is, in fact more. So thirdlly, as you can see, Silver Cup Chalk has a trophy on the labeling, which clearly indicates that it means business. It even has the word "tournament" right there on it. It proclaims that it is the "Exclusive chalk used in many of the most prestigious and lucrative tournaments televised around the world". We all know how lucrative pool is, so why in Yaweh's name would you risk your results using something as preposterously sounding as Taom or the impossible to pronounce Kamui?

Gentlemen, I posit that this is all common sense and I should stop preaching to this choir.

You can all send your gift of appreciation at a later date.

Best,

JL

I bought a box a few months ago to use on an Olhausen table I play on occasionally. The table had two old, crumbling cubes of chalk, and the chalk got on my hands when I used it. I examined the cubes, and I could just make out part of the trophy on the label. I searched online, and I determined the cubes were Silver Cup chalk. The *felt* on the table is dark green--yeah I don't think it's *cloth* because it's the slowest surface I've ever played on. I ordered a box of the olive chalk, which matches the color of the felt well. Seems like good chalk to me.

Does it have Ol' Glory on the side?

The innovative staff at Silver Cup are not contented to rely on the old imagery of the obviously dated "Old" Glory. They have challenged us to re-imagine a New Glory that represents all of our beau ideals to infinity!

The cockles of the heart are the ventricles.
I never heard the word before Dennis Leary sang it.
I'd give a cube of SC a chance.
I'm looking to trade some predator chalk for masters, Blue Diamond, anything...


ETA I just looked at some chalk and there is a "Felson" brand pool chalk.
Gotta be the best.
 
Silver Cup comes in a lot of different colors.
If you have red, black or whatever non-traditional color cloth you can match the chalk.
My friend who has a red cloth uses. it. After a few years his shaft was red.
Silver Cup, no thanks.

So far as I can determine, that word means fields planted in Lupinus mutabilis.

I wonder if Silver Cup is made by the same people that made National Tournament Chalk.

Also, False lupine, aka Thermopsis villosa, or Aaron's rod may well be an imposter of Lupinus mutabilis. This should serve as a warning to us all, that we are not to lured in by the siren's song offered by maker's of fake Silver Cup chalk. Please be mindful to stay faithful to the one, true original and ye shall be rewarded!

They have the best color match for the most appropriate billiard table felt ever, the "blue/green".
and also, guess what!?
it's call "Tournament Dark Green",
just not available anywhere to anyone...

I'll show some pictures later when the kiddies are in bed,
may be considered blasphemous, I take the wrappers off so that they fit properly.
