Friction Labs is all about establishing the new standard in chalk. Like all of their chalk products, you can trust that inside is the best performing, safest, and healthiest chalk anywhere.
What’s the deal with the different blends/types/flavors/animals?
FrictionLabs chalk comes in three textures, each with a unique hand-feel:
- Unicorn Dust: Fine texture
- Gorilla Grip: Chunky texture
- Bam Bam: Super chunky texture
Is one blend recommended for certain types of difficulties/styles/conditions/experience levels?
Like peanut butter, it's just about personal preference. All three blends have the same performance and health benefits.
Most people start with Gorilla Grip and then change if they prefer finer (Unicorn Dust) or chunkier (Bam Bam).
