what is the ideal weight for a chip? (1 Viewer)

[Rockstar713]

I have seen from 8 gr to 14 gr in weight but I would like to hear you opinion if weight is important and by how much.
Thanks

I find 10g to be optimal. 8g is too light, 12g is too heavy. 9-11 grams is acceptable range, preferably 9.5g to 10.5g.

Just joking with you. That term gets tossed around far too much to actually mean anything.

@BGinGA is absolutely correct.

 

[softchewy]

12g is too heavy

I disagree!

 

[Eloe2000]

10g

 

[softchewy]

My preference is 9+ up to the 12g range (my heaviest Paulson 39mm are 11.75).
If I had to choose a sweet spot, it would be the Aztar MO secondary $100 @ 10.75g with buttery soft leadedness

Mapes/Money Tree TRKs are a good example of a large weight spread (9g for the $5s, ~11g for the $1s and 12.3g for the $.50s)

I like 10-11g

14g is just too heavy to shuffle. 8-9g is just felt too light when shuffling

Let's clarify. 10g optimal for a standard 39mm chip clay chip.

Bigger chips of course must weigh more on average. Many people play with 43mm sets.

I just got my new Tourney set in 43mm and I'm very impressed with it. I love 43 mm

The answer is 10.8 grams.

My 43mm custom polyinno come it at 10g . So I think that's perfect.

Official casino weight is 11.5g so I’m going with that.

Not true. I love TRKs but newer 8g TRKs are no bueno. Kinda like unleaded THC. I mean I’ll take them but leaded is better

Wrong. Definition of correct weight is by the owner, and I am not a weight snob. Bring me your light and heavy chips and I shall love them all equally.

Okay. I see it says ideal weight and that is subjective
