I understand the excessive mess of typical less expensive chalk when players use the endless drilling method likely with 'pool' players. ...and yes I'm singling out pool players, as they are the only ones I've seen bore holes into chalk.
 
I like to look at these threads and then wait a week to see what direction the thread has taken.

Next week Triangle Chalk could be in vogue.

Sad thing is many billiards accessories, are like fishing lures. Catch more fisherman, then fish because they are junk, or do not work.

Well there is a lot of stuff that people sell that just don’t work as advertised.

Buddy years ago gave me something called ULTIMATE TIP TOOL.

I gave it back to friend, as I saw were it was something that could cause more problems, then fix em. JMHO
 
Someday I might try the Toam. But all the perceived benefits go out the window at the pool hall.

From Dr Dave's website....
Here are the bottom line conclusions from the experiments: The brand of chalk doesn’t really matter much, unless you don’t chalk often or well enough, in which case chalks like Kamui, Blue Diamond, and Magic Chalk (see below) might help; although, “cosmetic grade” chalks like Kamui and Blue Diamond that persist on the CB can result in more frequent cling/skid/kick; therefore, their use is not recommended. Of all the chalks tested to date, Taom Pyro is the best at not sticking to the CB, so it will result in less frequent and less severe cling/skid/kick. Inexpensive chalks like Master are fine; although, if you play straight pool or other games where you can’t clean the CB often, Taom Pyro might be worth it due to the reduced chances for cling/skid/kick.

I completely agree with above statement. I played at a local against a guy that used Kamui. Made a mess of the cue ball, and skids were a problem. And not just a regular skid. What I would call AMPLIFIED skids.

I will have to give Toam a try. But i feel the advantages compared to Master would be nill in a pool hall setting.

if taom was $2 or something i might would, but for what benefit you get $30 is a joke

I play in a big room(30 tables) and you can always tell which table had 'bangers' vs. players. All the cubes are drilled-out on the banger tables. I told the owner if he'd make a 'How To Fkng Chalk' poster he could save 200bux a month on chalk alone. ;)
