Billiards Chalk is one of the most Important Billiard Supplies.

Billiard Supplies, Billiards Chalk.
If you are reading this post, you most likely have played at least some pool or billiards game. When playing the game you will find out how important the right kind of billiard chalk can be real fast. I have used a few brands that did not help prevent the miss cue at all.

Isn’t it frustrating when you are on the run out and you miss cue because of some inferior billiards chalk?
When it comes to your billiard supplies, I personally think chalk is one of the most important supplies. I trust and play with “Masters Chalk” if at all possible.
It is the best and most consistent chalk I have ever used. I play in quite a few small town taverns and sometimes they have no chalk or a chalk that may as well not exist. I try to keep a cube or 2 in my trail blazer (vehicle) and in my pool cue case.
If I do not have my vehicle or cue case, I will simply not play pool without decent chalk. I have used a few other types of chalk that worked OK, but Masters is my number 1 choice for Billiards Chalk.
I recently bought 2 cubes of chalk on eBay which is supposed to be good for jump cues. I will post an article on the results achieved with this so called jump cue chalk.
If you use Masters Chalk and you miss cue often, I would bet that the tip of your cue needs scuffed. The right kind of tip is also important. This will be the subject of a future article. If your cue tip is mushroomed and hanging over the sides of the ferrule, Replace it.
Keeping your cue tip in good shape and using Masters Billiards Chalk should keep the dreaded miss cue to a minimum. There is nothing worse than a miss cue stopping a nice run out.
I am into playing pool and other billiards games. The right kind of billiard supplies are important for a consistent pool game. I will be sharing information on my blog and encourage you to leave your comments and opinions.
To Your Run Out Success.

Good morning,
Talking about CHALK….I have 3 members on my team and none of them carries their own chalk…They complain about the places that WE shoot not having any….my oh my for a few cents they can have their own, then borrow mine…You bring your cue, glove, or whatever else you use but can’t bring chalk…I do use MASTERS, I have tried others but do like the MASTERS BRAND.
TIP: I use a phenolic tip on my break cue and have had problems with keeping it chalked. So here is what I do. I clean off the tip, then wet the tip with SPIT on my finger and then chalk. It stays on the tip quite well.

Nice tip on the chalking your break cue. I found some chalk on eBay that is supposed to be made just for the phenolic tip. It works OK.
