==Triangle Chalk== Me and my other half used to play a lot of pool together especially when we were childless and spent a lot of times in pubs. This became a hobby of ours and we would often end up booking a pool table at the local pool hall to have a few games most evenings off. We both have our our pool cues and ...

Almost as important as the cue itself, a good player knows that his chalk always needs to be close to hand. Especially if he is to have any degree of success. You may think that the selection of such a small, non-descript object would be a simple process. Not so, to ensure an even coating on the cue tip means that the chalk has to have a ...

Chalk is a very important thing when it come to pool of snooker! Without it, you will play appallingly. I tend to buy triangle chalk because it's one of the better available. You can buy them individually or in bulk, it's much cheaper to buy a bulk pack of them, which is what I tend to do to save a bit of cash. At home we have a full ... Read the complete review

My husband and I have had a pool table for all of our relationship, my husband is a keen player and has had a pool table for all his adult life. He buys trays of 12 squares of chalk for about £5. My husband says this is the best pool cue chalk and as I too have learnt the game since we became a couple and agree with him. ... Read the complete review

Anyone who has played snooker or pool in their life will surely recognise the small cube of chalk which players rub onto the end of their cue, but infrequent players may not realise exactly what it is for. It may seem like a trivial accessory but in reality it i actually very important to the game. Rubbing chalk onto the cue tip ensures ... Read the complete review

Chalk ------- Even the most casual and part time snooker player will realise the necessity of chalk. I have been playing the game since i was 6 or 7 and even then my dad insisted upon chalking the queue, and for very good reason. It is a fully essential product just as much as the balls, cues or table. The purpose of chalk is ... Read the complete review

I think I was around 6 when my parents bought me my first pool table. It was a full size one and although it was a little ragged and falling to bits it was in playable condition. We stuck it out the way in the junk room and I spent many happy hours playing pool and snooker when I was a kid. I think we got rid of that table around 5 ... Read the complete review

Accessories to games and sports often get completely overlooked, people's focus naturally on the main action and where and how it all takes place. Even in cue sports, such as snooker, pool and billiards, it's the focus on the skill levels to be able to aim so precisely that two perfectly round objects can collide with one another so as ...

**Introduction** I remember having a small snooker table when I was very young which I developed my game on and when I was 13 I started going to play on a full size table at my local Rileys Snooker club. Over the years I learnt more about the equipment needed to play the game of Snooker and the importance of using chalk on the ... Read the complete review

I really enjoy a few frames of snooker either just on my own, or with a few mates down at my local snooker hall. I find that it is a great way to spend a few relaxing hours in a nice peaceful environment, and since the smoking ban has come into effect the snooker hall has changed from a dark and dingy, smoke filled, dirty place to a nice ...

An essential part of any session of snooker is the chalk you use for chalking your cue up with before each shot. For me it has become second nature to rechalk the cue after each shot. If you watch the professionals you will see just how important it is to rechalk after each shot - they even still get 'kicks' and miscues regularly. So, it ... Read the complete review

When I have some free time I try and get to play a few frames of snooker. It's a relaxing gentlemans (and -woman's) sport that, as the phrase goes, takes moments to learn but a lifetime to master. One of the more important parts of snooker, and probably underlooked by most, is keeping a solid contact from cue tip to cue ball. If you lose ... Read the complete review

A vital part of playing snooker and pool is chalking your cue tip at regular intervals - this is done to promote a good contact with the ball and prevent miscues. Although there are loads of different chalk brands available, I always opt for the ones made by Triangle. Quite simply, Triangle chalk is the most popular in the game - it's ...
