From my experience, the V10 needs more attention when applying it to the tip. Especially on the sides of the tip. I need to scuff the tip more often with the Blue V10.

I also have the Pagulayan chalk in green, made by Taom but in my opinion it has a different formula to it, it’s a bit softer and applies easier and grabs the sides of the tip better.

Maybe it’s Blue vs. Green, I could order a green V10 and a blue Pagulayan and test but why bother?
The green Pagulayan works great for me and I prefer the cube shape so it’s a win win for me.

I saw him playing some 10 ball against Jesse Pinkman over the weekend.

Where at? Surely no longer in Portland. I know he is older in years and didn't know if he was still with us.

Would still love to hear more stories as what I have heard borders on folklore, that he has the biggest stroke in pool, SVB status etc. The guys has always been a bit mysterious, but he has mentioned top players in the Portland area. He seemed to quit playing serious before my time

I would go to an upholstery place

Maybe. My first look is a place that specialises in pool tops. I found a few but want to see what is being made. Not returnable

Exactly what I'm talking about thank you .

Reported. Tits could be a little bigger.

in fairness, this post could be about albania as well.

either way, this waxgate stuff has enough tribalism as is. poor carlo got like an hour of recognition (anyone still remember? world 9-ball champion?), since then it's been all about wax, wax, wax.

on the barking stuff, i would take an in form kaci against anyone not named fedor, filler, svb. but none of these online challenges of his has ever come to anything. i certainly can't remember any such match

I'm with you. We need to let this go. Yes, those who make the rules and those who officiate must take note of the situation and do what they must to ensure fair play going forward, but pro pool must move on. Carlo Biado is our World 9ball champion, and all must hail the king.

We all understand that Kaci possesses a top gear that would give him a chance to beat any player in the world (including Josh, Fedor, and Shane) in a long race. Still, we haven't seen much of that gear in 2025. It's always a pleasure to watch an in-form Kaci.

If these matches happen, I reckon they need to be on neutral ground, meaning not in Europe or Asia. I tend to think of the Derby City Classic as the World Capital of the action scene, and I suspect that Ray "Big Truck" Hansen would salivate at the idea of having Kaci play the Filipinos one at a time in his Derby City action room in January. OK, maybe I'm just dreaming here.

Last time I miscued Old Yeller was a puppy.
I just played 3 cushion for 6 days straight,
6 games to 25 everyday without a miscue.
Took today off and went to the beach with my wife.
The amazing thing is I use Blue Master Chalk.
Go figure.

I think I miscued playing 10 ball about 12 years ago, I’m not sure.

SVB plays with masters if it's good enough for him it's good for anybody.

Dave, is Yapp's comment that it is virtually impossible for the cue ball to play slicker at the end of a long match than it did at the beginning reasonable?
