Pool chalks are coming out of the wood works or so it seems. I thought TAOM was the cat’s meow for chalks and then Pagulayan works a deal with TAOM to introduce a cube version under his name. Boy, I thought that was a brilliant idea and it weighed 1 gram heavier than V10 so the value was equivalent. Now I am starting to wonder about other pool chalks, especially after trying Ghost chalk. Fedorgorst has his own brand of chalk and I was favorably impressed with its presentation, appearance and how it applies and plays. It sure looks and plays like TAOM but can’t be since it is made in America, I don’t know how you feel and despite that Finland is our NATO ally, I still prefer to buy USA.
So after trying the chalk, it absolutely feels better in my grip and it weighs more than other chalks costing every bit as much. Now I am pissed over shrinkage of products in America like food. The bag and contents keep shrinking but the price keeps going up. So I resent being ripped off. Manufacturers can’t raise the price the as high as they want it to be so they bump the price and shrink the contents.
Ghost chalk made me aware of this and now I’m irritated with myself for never realizing this before. So I am simply offering a public service thread. If you like the chalk, and indeed it costs more but gives you more product than other equivalent brands, isn’t it worth considering? Fedorgorst’s chalk has a fantastic shape to grip and it feels more substantial too. It applies great and how long it lasts is yet to be decided. Ghost chalk weighs 24.1 grams…..Wow.
