I agree with your statement, but it's definitely a pattern I have been noticing, especially in league play. When everyone used the cheap house chalk, I rarely saw skids. Now, 90% use taom, predator, or kamui and I see skids very often.
It's possible that this is partially due to the fact that equipment has getting faster so many will hit softer more often but still. Everyone says it's cleaner, and it's true, marks aren't as visible on the CB, but there is definitely a residue left behind.
Even as SBE, skids cost both me and my opponents a few racks. I stopped shooting softly after the 2nd time!
I've brought it as a carry on many times. One day I'll have to see if it goes thru the newest TSA machines.
