What brand of Pool-Cue chalk is the best?

Question

I have seen many types, colors and brands of cue chalk. What makes one better than the other?

Thanks

Answer 1

masters chalk or silver cup

Answer 2

A co-worker said Masters.

Answer 3

Straight shooter deserves the credit for this one. Masters is by far the best pool cue chalk that you can buy. I've had to use other brands in the past and didn't care for any of them. Now I always carry a cube of masters in my case. You just can't beat it!

Answer 4

the blue one...

Answer 5

It's going to be subjective, but myself and most people that I know prefer Master chalk by Tweeten.  Eightbraker will back me up on this one.  The coarseness, consistency, durability, etc. make it superior.  It has less tendency to crumble and it gives off a more uniform amount of chalk.  Of course, any brand of chalk will do the job, but only one can be the best.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.

Answer 6

I like DRY Master or tweetens Green but all chalk is OK if kept dry (place your chalk on computer monitor or heater)

You should not change chalk, use  1 type only throw it out when it is worn out.

Answer 7

Obviously this is somewhat subjective...but many pool halls use Masters and I have for years.  It doesn't "crumble" when you chalk your stick and allows you to put a nice even coat on the tip before each shot.  Some are so chalky they leave almost a clump.  I strongly recommend Masters

Answer 8

hmm good question..... I will have to watch this one.

Answer 9

Yeah, Masters is best.  If you have to pick a second, probably Silver Cup.  A dozen of either will only cost a few bucks and it will last for quite a while.

Answer 10

I would think any chalk works (pool cue type)
