When did everyone get penis chalk?

The majority of snooker players just bung it in their pocket, like everyone else should do. I hate seeing chalk on a rail.

What's wrong with the back pocket of your levis?

That's where mine resides, back pocket.

I don't have to find a cube, which is inevitably clumped together with the other 2 or 3 pieces, at the opposite end of the table (how do they all migrate together, anyway...talk about a strange phenomenon).

Yes, I'm an APA player. It may be pool nerdy, but I'm not the one looking around trying yo find a piece of chalk. :p
 
I think it is related to peers and location. I frequent two pool rooms 130 miles apart. One is full of gloves, chalk holders and tan chalk while the other has no gloves, two or three chalk holders and only one tan chalker who is constantly ribbed about shitting all over the table.

There is also night and day difference between the caliber of play between the rooms. Might be on to something there.

I wonder what brand chalk holder Johnny Archer uses?
 
I've got one of those pocket chalkers you guys are talking about. When I am playing, if there isn't any good chalk around, I usually use my chalker.

Until reading this thread I had no idea that I was acting and looking gay. I'll be damn if I'll ever use it again. Even though I am married and have two kids, that doesn't mean anything in this day in age. It's all about perception.

Thanks for the heads up guys!
 
I think if you use expensive chalk (Kamui, Blue Diamond, etc.), it is wise to use a chalker, or it will be left on the table sooner or later. The guy that works in the bar I play in, told me he found two pieces of Kamui in one week. I wonder how many he has found altogether.

I use a small pouch like you see snooker players use.

Does that make me a Kangeroo?

I used to keep mine in my pocket till I saw Lee Brett using a leather pouch. I ordered one from Seyberts and really like it. I also tried the magnet thing but didn't like it.
 
I got one of the Joe Porper leather pocket chalkers for free and didn't use it a lot. For the past 5 years I just put a cube of chalk in my pocket with no holder. It's a lot easier for me and I don't leave it at the pool hall. I don't care a bout my clothes getting chalk on them either because I'm there to take care of business.
 
I got my penis chalked, one afternoon.
Several years ago, a friend of mine invited me to come and play in a One Pocket tournament at a Nudist camp. Being the naturally inquisitive person that I was, I accepted. When I got there I was surprised to find that many of the nudists weren't completely nude at all. Several of them were wearing rings and watches.
Anyway, there I was, sticking out like a sore thumb with all my clothes on, so I did the only logical thing I could think of and disrobed. It was colder in there than I had first thought.
It was during my very first match when I inadvertently reached a little further for a shot than I should have, and stuck my penis squarely into a piece of chalk. Although I hadn't really noticed that anything was amiss, I nevertheless began to feel somewhat insecure when I began hearing giggles coming from the gallery.
So, to make a long story short (no pun intended) I spent the rest of the day with a red face and a blue penis. :smile:

You see them quite a bit in the APA.
If you like those, you'll love the ones that clip to your belt and retract, like the leashes I use to walk my dogs.

Actually, I see them in the best leagues in Chicago... just makes it easier to use your own chalk, and not some holed out piece on the table.... plus, many folks use their own personal chalk (Magic Chalk for me), and I know, that is crazy talk using your own "equipment" cause we all know most folks all shoot with house cues.:)
 
Next time use tan.

LOL

where i play it is most difficult to get decent chalk so i started buying my own (NIR & Blue Diamond).....since i was not used to having my own in the beginning i would inadvertantly leave it on the table and cringe when someone used it while shooting. sometimes when finished at the table i would forget my chalk and walk out of the place....so i ordered a "cheapo" holder ($1.95) and shaped a piece of teak about the size of a silver dollar to put in my front pocket..the teak came from a shipwreck i found on the beach on the island spit of "bajo nuevo" in the middle of the caribbean so it has some "memory" value..haven't lost any chalk since.

I know what you mean when it comes to having your own "equipment".
We played a VNEA team one night that brought in their own level.
They almost got their asses kicked by the regulars sitting up at the bar.

This may be inappropriate for this this thread, however if anyone looking to buy a cue....please contact me.
I have way too much equipment.
Sold a 24 x 48 case the other day, and it would of been easier to leave the cues in it.
 
I have one that I got from a guy I worked with who makes them. Only used it a couple of times, didn't like it. I've put my initials on the bottom of my chalk since I moved to my present location and keep an eye on it when I play in public with it. I will not keep it in my pocket. Chalk belongs on the table, that's how I learned and that's the way I keep it.
 
When the best piece of chalk in the room is in my back pocket I'm not going to be concerned
about some perceived "image". Same with a glove. If it works for you use it.
 
I like to place my chalk in my shirt pocket,so as to compete with the other head lights in the room.:grin:

I moved to a new area and I've been out of competition for a few years but got talked into a league.

Everyone has chalk hanging out of their pants pocket in a little holder.

When did that happen... I want my chalk on the table where it belongs.. they all look like their junk is hanging out. :cool:

Sounds like "Penis chalk Envy" to me! :grin:

I bring a sharpie and put my initials on any good piece of master chalk I see there sitting on a table. Then when I leave I gather it up all self righteous like....

I tried putting my initials on a nice cue I saw when the guy using it went to the bathroom... Man those sharpies can hurt coming back out for as small as they are.....

There are a few real good players that love the pocket chalk holders. To each their own. It makes for a good item in the PSR.

Hill Billy is one of the guys that come to mind.

I personally am not organized enough to have a pocket chalker.
 
True story

A bar my wife & I used to go to must cater to players, since it has 8 bar tables. Yet, every time I was there, it never had decent chalk. Just one drilled out piece on each table.

I asked for a new piece. I was told that chalk was expensive, to use what was there.

We went there one more time...this time with pocket chalkers. I placed the drilled out piece atop the light.

As we were leaving the guy behind the bar had the gall to think we'd "stolen" that lousy piece of chalk. I went back to the table, got the chalk off the light, took it to the bar, placed it chalk side down in a wet ring of spilled beer, glared at the guy, walked out.

Needless to say, I haven't gone back...:mad:

You should have knocked him out then chalked the end of his nose with your pocket chalker for good measure.
