Not for: Casual players who don't need premium chalk.

Taom V10 (line)

Designed to leave little residue on the balls and cloth while still gripping well.

Predator 1080 Pure (line)

A high-performance chalk that grips well and stays clean, from a major cue and shaft maker.

Not for: Players who want the cheapest option.

Grip versus residue: Prefer chalk that grips the tip while transferring little to the cue ball and cloth Residue causes skids and kicks, and it dirties the balls and cloth.
Color match: Pick a chalk color close to your cloth color Marks show less, and other players can't tell where you contacted the ball.
Application: Brush the chalk lightly across the tip and don't grind the tip into the cube Grinding wears the cube into a hole and coats the tip unevenly.

Master (Tweeten): The classic, inexpensive standard.
Kamui: Premium chalk from a tip maker.
Taom: Finnish premium chalk focused on low residue.
Predator: 1080 Pure premium chalk.
Blue Diamond: Traditional chalk made by Brunswick and favored by some old-school players.
