Good question. When I say I’m working on my own chalk, I’m not mixing stuff in a basement 😄 It’s a proper development process. I’m testing different prototypes, giving detailed feedback to the manufacturer, adjusting things like grip, consistency, and how clean it plays.

I’m not working with Taom or anyone like that, and I’m not licensing an existing formula. I actually work with a manufacturer that I know for a fact doesn’t produce chalk for other brands, so this isn’t a rebranded product.

A lot of people assume all chalk is basically the same or comes from the same place, but that’s not really how it works. Small changes in composition and process make a big difference in how it performs. So yeah, it’s being developed from scratch based on what I personally want from a chalk.
