Pure clay chips are very expensive and do not last longer but are of the higher grade chips in poker. While plastic chips even though if they are cheap they do not provide you the same excitement and feel of chips made of 100% clay. To overcome the disadvantages of clay and plastic chips composite poker chip sets have hit the market. Composite chips are manufactured by mixing clay and plastic. The clay content is very low but is a good set to play poker. These chip sets stack well and is exiting to play with but is not as good as a set of pure clay chips.
When considering the cost and the durability they are far better than real clay chips. These chips can develop scratches fast but would last longer. The sound and feel of this set is not fully satisfying to poker players who have tried clay chips. This set of chips is not for professional players as they will least prefer this kind of chips and would definitely go for clay chips. This set is ideal for beginners and those who are planning to start a low budget poker room in their house. They do last longer but can develop scratches on prolonged usage.
