The green master does not appear to stain the cue ball as obviously as the blue. If you didn't pot the ball with the cue ball having a chalk mark on it, I'd wager you weren't going to pot it in the first place.
It's more of an excuse than a real problem, IMO players should just concentrate on the pot. He understands that a blue spot on the cue ball could distract someone, but shares my opinion that prevention of miscues and having a properly chalked tip is more important. I used to play with blue master chalk because from my testing I knew this provides great grip on the cue ball but in competition I've had opponents complain about blue dots on the cue ball more than once, asking me to use "normal" green triangle chalk, so I switched to that during those games and limited my shot selection accordingly. One theory behind using triangle chalk for snooker is that snooker players tend to use softer tips, so for the same grip you could use a harder chalk (that won't leave dots on the cue ball as much), but a softer chalk on a soft tip will still provide more cue ball grip than a hard chalk on that same tip. For me, I'd rather have to clean a welll defined spot of chalk off something (such as the cueball) than have chalk dust on the cue ball, cloth and cue that's so finely spread it cannot always be easily spotted, but may build up over time. This for me is actually a big plus, because the harder triangle chalk turns into clouds of dust and goes everywhere. The downside of the softer master chalk is, it tends to visibly smear/stain onto the cue ball more than triange chalk. On top of that, it covers the entire tip much more easily and does so for much longer requiring fewer applications.
I've always preferred master chalk over triangle for snooker (and pool) because it provides more grip on the cueball and because of that, I always get fewer miscues and I can strike nearer the outside/edge of the cue ball. Master chalk provides more grip and smoother coating which results in greater control and english.Īnd that is why master chalk is the overall favorite, at present. Master chalk was developed for pool, stronger shot force, therefore provides softer feel and coats more as pool players didn't chalk as often as snooker and billiards players.
