Phoenix Cardroom China Clay thoughts and opinions (2 Viewers)

That doesn't surprise me one bit. Most players don't pay any real attention to the chips. If I do get comments when I put my BCC solid set into play, it's that they are too light. I don't care. I didn't buy the chips to please them.Today one of my players expressed that the phoenix chips are preferred over my tiger chips lol

I saw a post at PC about these...... a pic posted about injection molding, the pics don't show that classic nipple anywhere. a set cheap there I may buy just to see! .27 cent per chip for 1100.

So are they clay?? or clay type??
They are "china clay", non slugged injection molded plastic meant to mimic the feel and sound of compression molded clay. The "nipple" is either sanded off, or the injection molding marks are under the stickers.
From seeing this neither of this is the case, the labels feel smooth (unless the sanding was well done).
Happy to mail out a sample to someone knowledgable to determine what they are... I want to get to the bottom of this.

Agree that there's no evidence of sanding it off
at half a buck a chip that seems like a lot of work! I could believe maybe under the sticker. I asked the seller out of curiosity who didn't want to remove a sticker as they were sold. He said that he was sure they weren't clay but they were closer than any other chip in the China clay category.I may order a sample of them to destroy for myself. Seems they are available at multiple sources.

I was first on the line to buy that set
But I’m happy with my Paulson chips!!!
I have a sample set of these. I removed the sticker from both sides of one. One side was smooth, the other has the remains of a ring inside the recessed area.
Edit: They also have the china clay smell when I hold them under my nose.

How do they stack? Can you move a stack of 20 or 25 easily, without it exploding on you?

I am certain that there is a nostalgia factor for anyone here. I played NLHE and PLO with majestic chips not knowing that other chips existed and I did not care.
All that I knew was these were superior (and avoided many conversations for value).
If you like the chips that you buy, just put them into play.
Fun is the purpose and us nerds that analyze are just that. I love the critique of this community but we do not operate on the same budget.

I spoke to BGinGA he said that they are "relatively slick (compared to real clays or hybrid ceramics)"

I've been considering these Phoenix chips as a safe cheap set for tournaments of randoms and gorillas that are bound to disrespect the good set. Would lov to know if the recess is deep enough to allow relabelling.
