 Good for Weight-Lifting Sep 12, 2009
By Shayna Grove
My friends and I do some heavy weightlifting in another friend's garage. We were running into issues on a hot day with sweat slicking up our hands and making it hard to hold the bar. So we decided we need some chalk, but we didn't want to leave chalk dust all over the garage.
This Eco Ball was *perfect*. It gave us the grip we need, and didn't leave chalk marks all over the floor, equipment, or us. It doesn't even really show up on your hands. The ball is especially useful for keeping the dust under control. I have a feeling that even if I got this kind of chalk outside of the ball form, it would get everywhere.
So, I don't know about rock-climbing, but for weightlifting, this little Eco Ball gets the job done. When we finally use up the one we have, I will definitely be getting another one.

So Far So Good Aug 07, 2009
By Inkyslay
Bought this for pole dancing-I am an Instructor. Often my students need something to reduce the sweat on their hands which impedes their grip. This product seemed to work fine. Doesn't leave a grit on the pole like the antihydral creams do.

Great for CrossFit Nov 11, 2010
By M. Coleson
"Maximum"
Being a CrossFit gym we are big on using chalk with pretty much all the Olympic lifts and with the pull-up bars. After months of daily cleaning off chalk on the bumper plates, floor, and pull-up bars something needed to change. The average lifter who is just beginning to use chalk doesn't understand that they are not Lebron James or that they don't have to chalk every time they go near a bar.
So out of desperation we tried the Metolius Eco Chalk and it is fantastic! It leaves very little residue even for the client who pounds it in his hands and creates a mushroom cloud. It is sticky and does work well on sweaty hands. As mentioned in the other reviews...it does dry your hands out. While it is a more expensive that a chalk bag it is a far better solution for a gym setting.

 Mine is pink. May 23, 2011
By Docta Peppa
"Gadget Lover"
I didn't order this for rock climbing. I ordered it to take to my gym and what I got was a pink one! Not a huge deal but i would have preferred one like the one in the picture. It does provide you with a great grip and it doesn't leave as much of a mess as regular chalk but it is not completely mess free.

No problem in a gym that doesn't allow chalk Mar 04, 2011
By L. Dillon
I am a traditional, barbell weight/powerlifter. There are a few specialty gyms in my area that cater to purist lifters like me, and where traditional chalk would be welcome. I don't have a membership at one of those gyms. They're too far away and inconvenient.
I attend a family gym that doesn't allow chalk. Too messy and perhaps too intimidating to some of the patrons. But not using chalk can be a real problem when lifting heavy.
I bought an Eco Ball last fall. Brought it in and showed it to gym management; showed how it wasn't like the other stuff. They gave me a thumbs up. I've been using it ever since and I'm very happy with it.
With a little effort you can press enough chalk out of the bag to create a visible layer on your hands. Or get just enough to take the slickness off your hands.
Whatever your preference, the chalk helps tremendously with grip. It's allowed in my "no-chalk" gym. It's convenient to carry around. It costs about the same as a McDonald's Happy Meal and should last for months. I don't have a complaint.
