Best chips for tricks (1 Viewer)

Chip tricks are fun. Do you have a favorite style of chips to do tricks with?

Me, I like a Pure Clay chip. Not to heavy and they feel good in your hand.

What are your thoughts?

You mean like chip flips and spins and stuff? I've found that slightly broken in Paulson leaded THC are the best! Outposts, for example.

Yeah. Chip shuffles, chip slinky’s and all that jazz. Paulsons are always the best, the gold standard of chip

I've found nearly any chip is suitable (except for those cheapo plastic chips that are <5c each, but those are worthless for actually playing poker too). Heavier chips definitely tire my wrists faster when shuffling, but for everything else surface texture is the most important. I like the feel of clay better than ceramic, but there's nothing I can do with a clay chip I can't do with ceramic. Obviously minty fresh chips are slightly tougher to shuffle.

Slightly off topic, but after the shuffle, flip, twirl, and knuckle roll what tricks do you learn next? I can't do a table roll or chip bounce, but I'm at a hardwood desk all day where I can't practice those.
