And Taom

Similar results from me. I

I’m assuming this is sarcasm, as I can’t see how this could ever happen.

The fake Taom V10 that’s being sold on Temu has been repeatedly reviewed by people who’ve got them as crap. I highly doubt anyone is getting any real Taom manufactured chalks on Temu.

Dr Dave has a good video on the topic. Start with that, IMO.

CF shafts are construed as hollow tubes, then usually filled with foam. I don’t know about Temu ones.

Savannah was the one dogging it in the middle to end of the match. Congrats to April

I just checked. The chart was done 4 years ago, so the left handed data is outdated.

I don’t believe the public can do that. But here is something Fargo published some time ago. It should still be pretty accurate in terms of his right handed stats (he played a couple weeks righty in the last year but probably not statistically significant).

I agree with 99.9% of this. The 0.1 is the fact that chalk companies feel the need to make claims about their product that just aren’t true. “Fewer miscues” “more spin” or whatever. It’s cleaner. It causes fewer kicks/skids. I’m pretty sure everyone on AZ who uses it does so for those reasons...

I mean people pay crazy amounts (to me) for production cues in rare colours. People are buying Alex’s shafts. Obviously worth it to them, whatever you, I or anyone else thinks.

By the way, Mario was a force in his day. Runner up to Alex Pagulayan (I believe the match was very close) in the Canadian 9b finals and he also was runner up in the 10b one year. He also made the last 32 in the World Snooker Championships back in 1984. Father Time is undefeated but Mario...

Since this thread resurfaced, I can update to say that I did get a chance to hit with the Pristine shafts (all three tip sizes). They definitely feel and sound great.

Mario stopped playing tournaments for the last few years, maybe 5 or 6 years, because of family commitments. He’s just started playing again the last few months. Back when they were both playing tournaments in Ontario, Mario and John would occasionally play each other. Unlike Ernesto Dominguez...

He’s won a bunch of titles this year. Turning Stone, US Open 10b and Banks. A bunch of pretty good tournaments in Canada. His tournament success is what has driven his Fargo up. But that doesn’t make the Fargo rating meaningless. It’s a measuring stick. I made the post because I thought it...
