The decision was simple that who and when has reached it the first is even not known authentically. However the history does not love uncertainty, and a palm give to John Karru more often, the truth as we will more low see, thanking its enterprise more likely. This subject worked as a marker in a billiard room “Upper Rooms”, belonging to mister Bartli. Probably, the institution could not brag of record attendance therefore as its owner and a marker quite often drove spheres together. And that pastime has not been spent absolutely in vain, perfected the skill, competing in performance of difficult blows. And if the owner of an institution and could not earn the skill the enterprising marker there and then began to gain on it money. Showing in the evenings the twisted blows, he did not forget to mention that they – a consequence ostensibly invented by him “an unusual, surprising, twisted chalk”. And he, John Karr, is ready to share with all this wonderful invention, and for quite moderate payment. Certainly, that player who does not aspire to play best is bad. And if «the twisted chalk» is for this purpose necessary any special - it is necessary to take! By the way, the chalk was the same that mister Bartli gave out to visitors of a billiard room absolutely free of charge. However original packing and skilful advertising has made the business: the chalk went in great demand.

England and Spain were in those days the powers which power was stretched worldwide. Therefore it is no wonder that for victorious procession on a planet it were required to a chalk считанные years. And in a primordial form it has existed still almost 100 years, – till 1893. At all lifting of a science and technics to anybody and affairs were not before that the chalk promotes cloth damage, spoils it so it is quite good to replace this not crystal substance in general with something better. In 1892 chemist Edmund F. Hoskins for good reason undertook .

To it the professional player on billiards William A.Spinks has addressed, having brought a slice of the firm cretaceous breed extracted in France. And in 1897 these two джентельмена have taken out the patent on synthesised by them special billiard “a chalk of Spinksa”, already having structure and a structure almost similar to modern samples – abrasive crystal structure which provides 10 times the best coupling of a label with a sphere and essentially improves game qualities of a skin, "loosening" it.

The further history is not rich with such key events, therefore we can be transferred safely today and consider that we have for today. Naturally, "the know-how" of a billiard chalk is improved. Presently at its manufacturing are used crushed white quartz and алоксит, mixed in different proportions. Quartz is a basis, and алоксит just and is rigid impregnations which give a roughness and abrasivity. The given mix is condensed with a press with effort about 15 tons on one form. It is necessary to notice that such big effort is used at all in order that the chalk was more economically spent. Simply the more densely swept, the is more thin the uniform layer turns out, and the label is better works. And cloth suffers less.

With the beginning of manufacture of a chalk in the industrial way of its steel to paint in various colours. Certainly, colour does not depend in any way on quality of a chalk and does not influence it.

Some councils

Most simple – if the chalk is, means it it is necessary мелить. Observe professionals: they purely automatically do it before each blow. And it is correct – such approach allows you to have a chalk layer on a label always in an identical condition and, accordingly, similar characteristics of blow. Thicker layer has no advantage, bringing only the superfluous expense of a chalk, yes a dirt on a table and hands.

It is necessary to give special attention to a chalk condition. The most terrible for it – a moisture. If the chalk crude it will be non-uniformly put, комковаться to harm to cloth and a label. Even if after that a chalk to dry up, play with its help it will not turn out – drying up, the chalk hardens and at all is not put.

From here a simple conclusion – protect a chalk not only from a moisture direct hit, but also from sharp changes of temperature which and can provoke the raised humidity. Carry a chalk with itself. Now there is a set of various accessories for its carrying. The optimal кажеться the closed magnetic holder on a belt – it is very convenient me, and hands always pure.

About a choice of a chalk and its marks

At all variety, the choice actually at you also is not present. As in known expression “there are two opinions, one my, another wrong”, and here: there is a manufacture chalk “Tweeten Fibre” and there is all the others. The others, as a rule, are ubiquitous Chinese handicraftsmen of type Pioneer. Process of manufacture of a chalk is stable and debugged already more than 100 years, therefore all marks of type Brunswick, Silver Cup, Diamond Blue and other are actually the same “Tweeten Fibre”, simply made on спецзаказам. It is not necessary to guess, what of them it is better – quality equally. It is possible to try unless to choose from two marks original «Tweeten Fibre» – Master and King Triangle.

Master it is considered softer and consequently it is more preferable for using with average and soft labels, and Triangle – accordingly for rigid types. However it not the dogma, and is better to try on own game as those work and others. Buy on a piece of both marks and experiment, alternating. I play a pool is more often, therefore personally I Master like hardly more, though opinion this purely subjective. Having made a definitive choice, buy at once a box on 12 and more cubes it it is more favourable under the price, and, as it is known, «has reserved a pocket does not pull».
