KAMUIROKU Chalk - Sky Blue

Great price and fast shipping

I have used Kamui chalk for a number of years and have always been happy with the performance. The only downside was the mess. The new chalk performs just like the old one with less mess, plus it lasts longer. If your a serious player try this chalk, it's worth the price.

Very smooth and stays on tip - wish it wasn't so expensive.

Yes it's expensive, YES it has been worth it. I've been playing pool for close to 35 years, many of them seriously (tournaments, leagues, etc.) This is the best chalk I've ever used, by far. I'm glad I upgraded to this chalk for my home table (9' Diamond Pro-Am with Tournament Blue Simonis cloth). My original goal was to reduce blue streaks on my cloth (was using Master blue, but also tried a half dozen other cheap varieties, including Predator, etc.)First with the only CON I have: This chalk does NOT reduce the brightness or colorization of chalk streaks on the cloth for me, it's honestly about the same as the Master Chalk. However, LESS chalk gets on the table, and it's easier to clean up, both positives.The real benefits:1) It's a much CLEANER chalk - I don't have chalk all over my hands and clothes after using this. It comes off differently (it's less powdery and more clay-like), doesn't get on my hands, and also LESS of the chalk gets on my table. Both huge positives!2) It lasts MUCH longer than any other chalk I've ever used. As many online / YouTube videos demonstrate, you can shoot numerous times without needing to re-chalk. This is handy if/when you forget to chalk up in between shots. It has also given me a little more confidence when shooting with extreme spin with far fewer miscues.Also - it seems to wear down much less. I've had this one piece of chalk for months (waited a long time to write this review!), and I play just about every single day, and it still looks almost new. I anticipate this single piece lasting a long time.I highly recommend this chalk for any serious pool player, and will absolutely buy this chalk instead of Master chalk in the future.

No residue on the balls or table compared to .98 and 1.21, about the same residue as Predator 1080. English greatly increased and it definitely lasts a long time, just apply it right (paint it on) don’t swipe it on like normal chalk.
