I have been told to invest in a chalk pouch but I was wondering which is better?
A pouch that acts as a waistcoat pocket or one of those magnetic chalk pouches.
Please help,
Thanks,

Always to the side for me , I see a lot of Pro’s play with them at the front .
Best chalk pouch for me is made by Stamford Cues .

i realise this thread is a year old but i'm going to try to switch from chalk in pocket to chalk pouch, but i wonder what the ideal place on the belt is?
Seems to me every place on the front half would prevent leaning over the table properly and the back half would make the chalk difficult to reach.
Where do you guys place the pouch?Last edited by Delphi; 2 March 2020, 07:48 PM.

Hello my first post on TSF. Just finding my way around some very useful information on here. Regarding chalk holders I made my own from some brass sheet it protects the chalk in the watch pocket on my jeans and protects the chalk.
I took a couple of photo's but i'm not allowed any attachments.
Just a ( very late) beginner here, only get a frame at weekends in the local workies although i prefer to practice when I get the chance.
John.

It is one of those extra strong disc magnets and comes in a pack of three with a 1" square magnetic piece I glue to the chalk.

So i bought one of the metallic Maximus ones [ £15 from Green Baize] . If you use it correctly , you can eliminate a lot of the click click noise . And it fits into my case .

3. Leather pouch GOOD, but doesn't fit in cue case.
I have had pouches from Aurora, Coutts and Ton Param and am using the Coutts one at present. It doesn't fit in my case very well however I just turn it around and hook it on my pocket and put just the chalk in the cue case.
I also like a waistcoat with pockets as we have to wear them over here in some tournaments and that solution works very well but who wants to wear a waistcoat all the time?

Thanks Terry, suppose if you were handy with a needle and thread you could add a bit of reinforcement to your jeans back pocket. Wouldn't be difficult to stitch in a wee bit of leather. Maybe Levis need to bring out special jeans for snooker players.

Now that I'm back practicing I use the Coutts pouch every day for 3-4 hours and it is serving me well.

Terry, are there any problems with holes in waistcoat pockets? I wonder if the pros get the pockets reinforced given that they will get an awful lot of use?
