I looking for the best home clay chips.
I know Nevada Jacks are good, but it doens´t have a U$ 10 or U$ 50 chip.
It jups from 5 to 25 to 100. In my game a 10 dollar chip would help with all bets. ( a play around a 300 dollar bankroll)
It´s not easy to find a 10 dollar chip !
I´m about to get the Kardell Casino Pro Poker chip ( http://www.kardwell.com/casino-pro-chips.htm ).
Please, does anyone have any tip or comment about clay chips ?
Are those ( Kardell ) a good clay chip ?
Thank you friends,

THE MOST IMPORTANT thing to do when shopping for chips. Order samples. Some companies will even send free samples. But even if you have to pay for them it's usually worth it as long as they don't charge a ridiculous price.

have you considered customs with your own denoms on them?

Here are some sites I've used to find my ultimate clay chip.
Kardwell -- you've been here and seen these chips. They are a good horsehead mold and excellent quality.

P.S. as far as the $10 and $50 chips . . .
We just go with the $5 and $25. Simpler seems to be better. I find that having few different chips on the tables is good. Keeping track of stacks of 5 different denominations is distracting to me.
We usually just use 3 denominations at a time, with mostly just 2 chips in play.
Either $1 and $5 for a regular stakes game, with some $25 on the table for coloring up. Or $5 and $25 for a tournament or higher stakes, with some $100 on the table. It's easy to use two $5 chips when you're betting $10 (or two $25 for a $50 bet), and I actually like the feel of more chips in my hand. Call me crazy!

Ditto! $10 and $50 chips are not seen as often because most don't use them. Like tomb said, just use $5 and $25.
Regarding the Kardwell chips, I would definitely choose the tr king stock casino inlaid chips over those. I don't like "Casino Pro", just sounds kind of cheesy to me. Get samples of both, I like tr king chips much better than the kardwell (ASM) chips. They are much heavier and have a better quality inlay (center design). They do have a $10 chip, but no $50.

thank you for your help guys. I decided to get the Kardwell horsehead chips and I got the largest set. A 600 piece in a Mahogany case....
I like much more than the poor aluminium cases...

Sweet choice , those are my 2nd favorite chips.

That's a great price for the chips plus a good case, cards, buttons, etc.
Hope you enjoy them, they're great chips. Play with them A LOT to break them in (oily hands, pillowcase trick, etc.).
