The Best Chalk?

[The_Teach]

Does everyone in here use green triangle chalk or are some of you the exception to the norm?

[cueman]

I think Triangle is the most widely used and available, you rarely see other brands in the shops. I just wish they kept their original chalk and didn't change the recipe. The dark green chalk just sticks to the cue ball too much but the lighter green stuff is just too powdery and makes a mess of the table. I still have one cube of the original circa 2000. I don't know when they changed it but its still not right for me.

It's funny I have heard a lot of people say that the triangle chalk has changed but I have never noticed. I use Blue Master chalk when playing American Pool and triangle for snooker, although both are made in the same factory!

I agree with cueman:

I have some dark blue chalk which I personally don't like, as it's too lumpy
I also have some light green chalk which is too powdery
My favourite, and the one I use now, is a mid-green triangle chalk.
IMO

Hey obligation, where did you get this mid green triangle chalk and how old is it? The reason I ask is because it sounds exactly like how Triangle used to make their chalk but like you say the light green powdery stuff is all I see nowadays.

I got about 10 blocks when I bought my snooker table, but something like this: http://www.drinkstuff.com/products/product.asp?ID=1258 shouldn't be too bad.

Triangle is the best!!!

[Semih_Sayginer]

Anyone fancy doing a big chalk test for my website? I can supply the chalk, have to have some kind of criteria but i am sure we could think of something!
