What brand of chalk do most professionals use?

Question

What brand of chalk is most popular for professional billiard players?

Answer 1

Most use Masters or Silver Cup.  Here's a site that did some chalk testing.  Some of the older chalks used lead in them and I know some players who absolutely love them.  But they're tough to find anymore.  I think Longoni is a company that may still make it.

Answer 2

These guys are right on. It's either masters or silver cup. But i think if they had to choose between the two most pros would go with the masters brand.

Answer 3

As was mentioned most use Masters.  When I played in the tourny's in Atlantic City years ago, Masters was what they put out and made available to everyone.  I have also used Silver Cup, and it wasn't bad, in fact I'd say it seemed just as good as the Masters.  I've seen NTC in one of my local bars, and it's junk.  Those are the 3 that I can tell you from experience.  As for what I carry in my bag, it's Masters, even though I can get Silver Cup for nothing at work.

Answer 4

You can't get any better then Masters chalk.  I guess there could be some close to equal, but none better.
