Like this chalk, seems to be very consistent on application and provides for great friction onto cue ball. Downers are the offset onto cloth, price, and packaging is very difficult to open... Almost ripped the box apart to get to the chalk.

Super messy. I only use this chalk (now) on my break cues. It gets everywhere, which is great if you want to apply it to a phenolic tip.

I only purchased this product using my "seybert bucks." If it wasn't for the bucks, I wouldn't have waste my money.

If you properly maintain you tip and apply Master Chalk to it after every shot, this chalk becomes an unnecessary luxury.

Introduced to NIR chalk about the same time I was introduced to Blue Dimond chalk. My wife likes the NIR chalk better. However, I prefer the Blue Dimond. Both are great! ALOT!!! more movement and action on the cue ball, less miscues, and sticks to everything!!! Another great product from Longoni.

I was only interested cos i saw that it was made by the same guys that made Blue Diamond and this is apparently the PROFESSIONAL series...
I'm on the verge of being banned by my pool hall for "repainting" their place blue and if this is what professional use i'm sure we'll be watching smurfs play pool....
i give 1 Star, but it's for Seybert's , no star for the product!

This chalk is better tham Master Chalk but not worth the money, it is super messey....for the money I use Blue Diamond.

I was given a 3 piece sleeve of this chalk and started using it immediately. It grips the ball very well and covers the tip nicely. The only problem is that it is super messy. I mean this stuff gets everywhere. If you are going to use it I would recommend only putting swipes of it across the tip. If you grind it you will end up looking like you just brutally murdered a smurf.

The NIR chalk sticks to tips well, and it does make a small difference in miscues. In my opinion, it's slightly better than Master chalk. Keep in mind though that the chalk is smaller than a Master, so it probably won't fit inside your typical chalk holders. If you use a chalk pouch (ala karen Corr) or a billiards apron then you're fine.

Also, the chalk seems to be dustier than a Master, so your hands (and maybe clothes) may get dirtier than usual.

To be 100% honest this chalk do not worth the money it cost,...is in my opinion inferior then the Blue Diamond by far, and is comparable IF NOT worst then Master which is way cheaper.

Resuming: Decent/Regular Chalk for the price of a great/pro chalk
