LESS MESS

I like chalk balls for indoor climbing because I don't end up getting chalk everywhere. I did notice that the chalk could have been better though. Still nifty little ball at a great price.

Nifty Little Ball

I really like that i don't have to mess around with a bag of chalk dust or a block of chalk. It was a little hard to get into my bag, but it works like a charm. Definitely not an overkill with the amount of dust that comes off.

Saweeeet

Wonderful chalk ball. Of course it's like any chalk ball, I do wish it would give off more chalk, but wasn't expecting anything different. Sets in on my hands nicely, give it a nice feel and gets the job done!

leave less trace

it is probably a good idea to minimize climbing's impact on the rock and landscape.

I prefer more chalk

I really loved the idea of this chalk ball with the idea of making a little less of a mess than I normally do with loose chalk.... but I was disappointed with the amount of chalk that comes out of the ball. It lets out a decent amount, and some of my friends still like this one, but it doesn't get enough chalk on my hand very easily. I will be sticking to loose chalk going forward.… read more

Great Chalk Ball

The Material that this ball is made out of is great, and the chalk is good quality. Cheap and effective.

I Like Lots of Chalk

I know some people really love the chalk balls and some gyms I know prefer them, however, I don't ever feel like I get enough chalk off of them. I prefer the powder chalk due to having more chalk on my hands.

Very Light Chalk

I boulder 3-4x a week and I did use up the whole chalk ball before moving to a different brand. Pros - Gets the job done Cons - Very light chalk (no matter how much I try to pack the chalk in my hands, I can never seem to get enough chalk as I would like) - Tough to get chalk when the ball is new

BUSTED!!!

I just took this ball out for the first time yesterday and it broke in my bag and almost all came out. On top of that it doesn't really dry my hands as well as regular chalk.

Tops!

This ball is Tops! (I'm still new to climbing, but I'm glad I got this :) )

broke immediately

the chalk is fine, the ball is weak. it broke on my first day in the gym, immediately. from now on i'll just make them.

Beginner's thoughts

I just started indoor and outdoor climbing a few months ago and recently realized the benefits of chalk. I have never used loose chalk, but my experience with this product has been very positive. Dries out my ridiculously sweaty hands and doesn't cause a mess in my bag. I find myself reaching for chalk a little more than I would want to, but no mess, no stress, and most of the gyms… read more by me don't allow loose chalk anyway. I'm a fan of this product

Great!

Great chalk ball! Larger then most, but still fits chalk bag fine. Non-refillable, great for indoor climbing

Not Good

I bought the Eco Ball because a couple of locations here in Colorado have banned white chalk. It is okay, but not even close to regular white chalk.

Not a fan

I wanted try this and was let down. I prefer regular chalk.

Works great

Seams to work great, no real markings left on the rock and keeps down on the mess

These are great

I've taken to using these all the time now, not just in the gym where I told to. They are pretty big so make sure you have a large chalk bag. It's gotten to the point where I use it to start, then when it gets smaller I pass it down to my wife and her smaller chalk bag, then it ends up with the kids. It works just as well as any other chalk and but doesn't cover the rocks and your… read more clothes with marks.
