The summer Olympics is always a time that I enjoy. Every four years, I get to sit down with the rest of my family, friends, or even alone, and watch sports that I usually never watch. Learning about these sports and the reasons why they do certain things while competing has always been a small interest of mine. Memories of asking my dad and mom about something an athlete is doing or sport rules is very prevalent in my mind, even though I am 23 years old and not a child anymore. While watching this year’s weightlifting and gymnastics competitions, the question, “why are we still using regular powder for grip enhancement?” popped into my head. Think about it a little. With all the products, technology, and services that this modern age has brought us, is there really no better alternative to powder for a better grip. I thought my question would go unanswered until I heard of Chalkless, a sportsman’s and soon- to- be your new best friend.

Chalkless’ harnesses the power of science that regular powder could never do for you. Using patented design, the unique formulation comprises main ingredients to create a product with two outstanding attributes; it is both oleophilic and hydrophobic. This means that once applied, it works to start absorbing the oil that comes naturally from your hands, and also keeps moisture like water and sweat off your hands. Together, a coating of Chalkless will keep your grip rock solid. Not to mention that this grip enhancer is not just for hands, but for your equipment too! Don’t be afraid to get some on a tennis racket, golf grip, or even gloves.

Unlike powder, Chalkless is quite self-explanatory; it does not use a soft powder like material and it most certainly does not create such a white mess when applying to your hands. The actual Chalkless “powder” is a more granular type of grip enhancer without causing a rough feel to what you’re holding. It is translucent and hard to notice, even when in the container you may be hard pressed to actually see it. Applying Chalkless’ is as easy as applying regular old powder. Simply shake the container/bag then apply around a half a tablespoon of Chalkless’ to your palm (you do not need a lot!). Start to work the formula into your hands by rubbing them together. If you want you can even apply Chalkless to the equipment that you plan to use to be sure it is well applied. Just like that, you’re ready to grip it and rip it! Removing it is also easy. Wash your hands with soap and water thoroughly to be sure you get it all off. Your hands may still feel like you are still able to grip easily even after washing. This is only temporary as your skin replenishes its oil which should take about half an hour.

My personal experience with it has been nothing but good. I am a frequent golfer, always trying to get out to play 9 or 18 when I can. I immediately saw the benefits from this if I were to use it when playing golf. Although I already use a glove when golfing I still wasn’t afraid to apply it to my glove hand, regular hand, even a little on my driver club. I could tell a difference after a few swings with it applied. Sweaty hands can be a battle on the golf course, causing you to lose grip of the club and mess up the shot. Not once since I have been using it have I ever felt like it was about to come out of my hands. It works great. Golf and weightlifting are not the only thing you can use this for. Chalkless is a great product for tennis, pickleball, CrossFit, baseball, softball, basketball, climbing, track and field, gaming, musicians, construction, hunting, fishing, military applications, and other occupations.

If you’re getting tired of regular old powder or done with not getting a good grip when you want one then I highly suggest looking into Chalkless. Using science to create a revolutionary formula that combines both oleophilic and hydrophobic properties that really give you a grip. Being mostly translucent, Chalkless will almost be invisible when applied to your hands and is super simple to both apply and take off. I can definitely see this becoming a new standard for athletes and some other career/job positions like musicians and construction workers.
