$30 for a piece of chalk...What's your favorite chalk to use?

I just ordered two 9-packs of V10 directly from Taom. With shipping, it’s costing me just over $14 per piece. If I can sell some of them to our V10 converted users here for $20 apiece, I’ll make up enough $ to pay for my own usage, but otherwise, at age 66, I’ll have more than a lifetime supply!
Blue Master's. Preferably Stolen

Mine feels like it has dried out and it's pretty messy now. It's all over my table since I put a heater in the basement. It's annoying
huh?

What doesnt make sense in my statement.
I find that strange as mine went through the clothes dryer and it feels the same as it did before.
I guess I had a hard time understanding why a heater in the basement would make a difference with pool chalk? Anyways, the more I use my V10, the more I like it. Once a game, and probably could even skip a game before a re-chalk.
You don’t really need to do that with kamui but I get it lol
Predator is ok, but it gets all over the table. When I use it I noticed dark spots on the cloth after I chalk up and strike the cue ball. At first I wondered if I had spilled something on my cloth, but it was from a fresh chalk from Predator 1080. I use the Taom V10 and I get zero chalk on the table cloth. Also I use much much less chalk because it stays on the cue much longer. I really don't care for predator anymore because of this, and think Taom is heads and tails above it. I would definitely purchase again over predator and most other chalks. At the rate I use Taom V10, it isn't really that expensive at all.
oh ok.... i don´t have the problem with the chalk on the cloth. Maybe a batch problem?
I chalk before every stroke because it belongs to my stroke rhythm, so more expensive chalk that stays longer on the tip is not the right "thing" for me.
I think a lot of players have difficulty with changing their rhythm pattern, and understandably so. I still often times reach for my chalk when I don't have to, trying to fill the mental voids between shots.
It's a typical habit of oldschool player like me. Typical like to forget the chalk on the cushion when you leave the table.

Exactly my experience with Predator and Taom, either Pyro or V10. Predatorand a couple other medium priced chalks are in my giveaway or “leave and forget” pile.
