Chalkless, a innovative grip-enhancing product, was created by chemical and coatings experts Greg Pope and James Pidhurney. The duo discovered a unique solution to the age-old problem of slippery hands for athletes – an ingenious formula that absorbs oils and repels moisture to deliver unprecedented grip performance.
Pope and Pidhurney’s journey to founding Chalkless began on a hot day when Pope was struggling with his tennis game due to sweaty, slippery hands. As chemical engineers experienced in developing coatings for extreme environments, the two men realized that grip problems were fundamentally a “coating” issue that could be solved through their expertise.
After two years of intensive research and testing, Pope and Pidhurney developed Chalkless – a patented, granular formula that creates an invisible, grip-enhancing micro-coating when applied to the hands. Chalkless works by simultaneously absorbing the natural oils on the skin’s surface and repelling moisture, transforming the hands into a powerful “grip zone.”
Unlike traditional chalk, Chalkless goes on clean and dry, lasts for hours, and washes off easily with soap and water. This versatility has made it a game-changer for athletes across a wide range of sports, from tennis and golf to weightlifting and CrossFit.
Chalkless has quickly gained popularity among professional and amateur athletes alike. The product is now trusted by competitors in the PGA, USTA, NBA, NFL, and more, providing them with a crucial edge when it matters most. Beyond sports, Chalkless has also found applications for musicians, construction workers, military personnel, and others who rely on superior grip performance.
Chalkless uses silica silylate – a lightweight, non-toxic compound that enhances both the texture and surface area of the skin for maximum grip. This revolutionary formulation sets Chalkless apart from traditional grip enhancers, offering unparalleled performance without the mess or residue.
As word of Chalkless’ effectiveness spreads, more and more athletes are discovering the power of this game-changing grip solution. With its patented technology and the expertise of its founders, Chalkless is poised to continue transforming the way athletes approach grip and, ultimately, their performance.
