I didn't want to derail the shame/mike thread (not that doing so would be a terrible shame) but the fact that mike chalked with his right hand keeps getting brought up, as though its a bad thing.
I realize that I'm a noob, a lowly league banger, someone with very little experience. But I don't get it. Who the hell cares which hand someone Chapman with, and why?
I'm a righty, and I chalk with my right hand. Wanna know why? BECAUSE I'm right handed. I have far more dexterity and control with my right hand. And I've often read here about "the correct way to chalk", swiping it across the tip. If I had to use my left hand (in order to satisfy some arcane custom, apparently) then I'd be a "driller" for sure. And then you'd denigrate me about that, too.
So what gives? Educate me, please.![]()
People were making fun of the way Mike chalks because he brushes is on like a fairy. Not that he does it with his right or left hand. Who cares about that. But the next time you watch Dechaine shoot watch how he applies the chalk, its kinda funny.
So your probably gonna die of lead or radiation poisoning.I use kamui chalk![]()
In Playing off the Rail, McCumber talks of the way a DC player, Jim Henson, chalks and describes his method as masturbatory.
Carry on.
I would be even more interested to see the fairy pool league, where they must all have a well established and similar method of applying chalk. I personally have no data on the chalking habits of fairies.
KMRUNOUT
I dip my penis in freshly ground Masters and chalk with my foreskin. I saw a player who's better than me do it, and think it'll help my game. I'm surprised it hasn't caught on yet.
Honestly, this forum.![]()
I do the same but Kamui sticks better.
sometimes I like to sit on my left hand until it goes numb and then when I chalk it feels like someone else is chalking my cue. I call it "the stranger"
How should I feel about reach-around chalking?

Depends on how well you like the guy.
I don't do it but hey, if that's your thing.... go for it!
