Coaches Different types of chalk

[LilyChow7]

Is there two types of chalk? One being a more soft, crumbling chalk and one a more firm block. We have had gymnasts complaining that the chalk is 'soft' and it is harder to grip the bar. We buy all the chalk from the same supplier and often will be a hard and soft block in the same bulk purchase.

That's funny, we just put new chalk out and the girls were marveling over how "soft" it feels.
