My unasked for opinion on Taom V10 Chalk

After seeing Dr Daves chalk videos and then seeing Appleton's gripe about master chalk, I decided to do a test for myself.

I was shocked to see how much residue Master Chalk left on the cue ball.

Did a few racks with master and a few racks with the V10 (I found a piece at the hall).

Taom left the cue ball virtually spotless.

I'm certainly no world beater at the table so I don't have delusions of Taom improving my game, but cleaner is better objectively.

Yeah, I personally never had a performance problem with Masters. I chalk before most shots as part of my pre-shot routine. The cleanliness is the reason I use Taom. And not just that the cue ball stays cleaner, though that is certainly important, but it just keeps my hands and my glove cleaner as well and I like that. It's totally worth the $30 every 9 months or so for a new piece.

Team USA and the future of the Mosconi

Even worse, Jay. Cuts out two men for a good pay day. The teams aren't going to shrink. Nothing in sports really shrinks.

Hard to justify a woman, either, since they aren't part of the WNT and don't collect points.

Consider this, too. A good argument can be made from an entertainment perspective -- look at what Predator is doing - but the talent gap between the Mosconi teams will only widen if women are involved. Europe has many good native-born female players. The U.S. has none, really.

Okay, how about one junior? Still no good?

Thoughts on this old timers sighting comment.

When I was trying to come up in pool, we had to start in a back room and work our way up to the front room where the action was.

Many $$$ later getting to where you belong in the front room felt good, knowing that you could play and hang with those around you.

The spectator chairs were fairly close to the table, so you had to frequently ask people to stand up or move.

One day a guy was shooting and one of the people on the sidelines was watching him shoot, very intently.
The shooter stopped and said to the guy "don't ever sight down my cue while I'm shooting a shot." So you can look at the ball, the table, etc. but don't sight directly at someone.
Made a lot of sense back then.

Does that hold any weight today? We know not to move or shark, but where do you stand on staring down the barrel so to speak?

Is it legal to put a tip on a bridge and use it to shoot a shot

Bavafongoul
Here’s the solution. Get a Kamui Clear Plastic Bridge. Stick it on the end of a house cue, sneaky Pete or custom cue.

It does not affect the finish of the shaft . Anyone gives you shit about using it to shoot, tell them is is legally a cue
you are using as a bridge but it is a pool cue nonetheless. If they keep griping or a referee says it’s bridge and you
cannot shoot with it, take the bridge off the shaft, play the shot with that cue, then return the bridge on the shaft and
just give them a goofy look and ask…..happy now? Realistically, the bridge head interferes with shooting any pool shot reliably but a removable bridge head like Kamui takes up very little space in your case.
