What to put on the ferrule end of the shaft to prevent chalk from sticking into the wood?

What advantage does Taom V-10 has over other chalks?

Everything lol It literally is the current chalk of all chalks. First off it is super clean you will not see any "spit" marks on the felt, by that I mean after chalking the first time the spray streak that some chalks leave after the first hit. You will not have dirty hands or a dirty shaft, zero residue on the cue ball, unless a miscue has happened. Speaking of miscues this chalk grips the cue ball very well so miscues are a user error and rare, the miscue residue is easy to wipe off with some " breath" and your shirt ( just like cleaning glasses). Last the chalk last very very long I have no glazing issues but still like to scuff my tip and put fresh chalk on. You can chalk every shot if you wish and its in your routine but you don't have to either, I'd say its users choice. This is a chalk I can honestly say is no gimmick.

Strongly agree. I bought some out of curiosity and shaft/table/hands stay clean.

What about a carbon fiber shaft? I have the Cuetec and it is a beaut!

Tom,
Just wipe your cue off with a towel at the end of the night or more often if you like. CF is not porous, so chalk dust can't get into the grain or pores.

Yes, that is exactly what I do. It is also my suggestion for the op, get a cf shaft. Although, not a inexpensive fix.😊

Masking tape! You could claim it helps you aim as well!

I have a cuetec cynergy carbon fiber shaft, and I don't have any problem aiming with its white ferrule. Although, a couple friends got a different brand carbon fiber shaft that is black to the tip, and they had difficulty aiming. They put a strip of white tape just under the tip for aiming.
 
Got the Taom V10 and after 4 hours of play my shaft is still clean, I am pretty much a dirty chalker, getting blue powder on the first 2-3 inches of my shaft and on my hands, with the Taom it is pretty much spotless. Worth every penny or should I say worth every dollar :)

Thanks for the recommendation everyone
 
Super glue medium. 5 layers 20 second of blow drying between coats then sand up to 2000 grit the buff.

I do all my shafts like that.
