I rarely chalk my break cue.

Magic Chalk used to be the rage for awhile. I was never a fan and preferred Blue Diamond.
Well, both of those chalks are in the rear view mirror of most pool players nowadays. Heck,
you can offer new pieces of those chalks to players & don’t be surprised to see the offer turned
down. I use Blue Diamond to chalk my Stinger break cue I switched to a Kamui Sai Break tip.

From what I see, TAOM dominates the market, although I prefer Pagulayan chalk’s rectangular
shape to TAOM’s circular. I can’t tell the difference with V10 so I carry both. The reason is my
original piece of V10 is 16 months old and still has life in it. OMG….the longevity of this chalk
when it’s correctly applied to you cue’s tip is amazing. TAOM chalk can last a very long time.

I chalk now every 3-5 shots with just one light brush stroke of the chalk to the tip. You can go
longer without chalking with V10 but why do it? I’m still using my orig. piece of V10 for nearly a
year and a half. I don’t need to stretch the life of my pool chalk more than I’m experiencing already.

Besides,TAOM is the cleanest pool chalk I’ve ever played with or read about. I cannot imagine using
any other chalk but I realize some folks don’t care what chalk they use. From what I’ve generally seen,
the vast majority of them play with pool cues with blue stained ferrules and shafts. You could usually
pour water into their chalk like it was a miniature chalice. Those players wouldn’t benefit from TAOM.

put them in the for sale section maybe an owner or dealer will make an offer on the bunch.

The way the thunder & lightning was rolling it will be a miracle if a fire didn't get started !

I've been watching different Rodeos here in the US as well as in Canada both Canadian rodeos had muddy conditions , as did Cody Wyoming .
I spoke a bit ago with a friend near Riverton and it's awful dry there , there isn't any rhyme or reason to the weather !

I don't often see two dry winters in succession, so this winter could be a doozy.

I know, crap in one hand and wish in the other.
See which one weighs the most.

Available. Bump for beautiful cue.

No new fires in our area due to fireworks, so that's good.
Driest I have ever seen and I have lived here since 78.
This coming after the driest winter in history for the area.
Come on Monsoons.

Glad you got some rain.

I believe crypto has and will continue to make its place. It can be debated what that will evolve into. I think its best use case will be for the coming agentification with humans being minor participants.

I love the story about DCC and a high stakes game taking place with single coins on the line. This is an ideal use case for the wassies and pepes. The anonymity of crypto was and is widely misunderstood. Every transaction that has ever occurred is published to the public ledger that is used to verify the chain.

Anyway, never pay people in crypto and don't give it as a gift. Normies do not want to receive crypto or have any association to it whatsoever. The industry is a joke but has time to evolve.

Crypto or pool?
Crypto is at the mercy of data centers.

Pool on the other hand is at the mercy of data centers.

You can diffuse the light, but you will still need some form of a grid under the diffused panels to reduce the glare or your eyes will be looking straight into the light. That's why so many people have trouble with perimeter lighting.

It musta been the early 80s or even late 70s when I had a waterbed shop at 8222 South Tacoma Way. Had the shop in the back of the store and had a pool table in the shop. Was real handy and profitable for after hours action.
