The journey has begun. I am on my way to making a tournament set...

First chips have co.e in the mail today... totally married to the Roadhouse 1000 orange. (It's going to be my 5k chip)

Question..
These two chips feel very different. The only thing I can figure... one is leaded, the other is not.
Am I right in that part of the assessment?

The 1k Roadhouse feels great! It's what I want in terms of feel.
Are these leaded?

The $500 ultimate bet almost has a plastic effect when compared with the Roadhouse. Is this perceived difference due to leaded vs unleaded?

It is late and I just finished watching MNF.
. That could effect my assessment.. though I dont think that's it.

I heard some IHC are leaded but not sure which ones. But 39mm leaded chips feel significantly heavier when you hold them. The UBS are not leaded and do not have metallic flakes and feel pretty light from what I remember. I imagine they’re around 8grams.

I know that THC and RHC feel different even though I think it’s same recipe. Most newer chips have that plastic-y feel
 
A good way to tell us to get 10 of them and weigh in a scale. Non-leaded will usually be 8 grams/ chip while leaded will be over 10 grams/ chip.
