Here is a massive skid in the Bergman vs Biado match at the Phoenix Open. New cloth and new balls, and it is early in the match. Perhaps it’s a coincidence but it sure looks like Justin is using Master.

Molina Mike of Window’s Open fame was handing out what I believe was Taom chalk to folks at the Open. I definitely saw him give Mickey Krause a piece. He handed him the box and let him choose his chalk, almost like he was picking a piece of candy out of a box of chocolates.
That brought back a memory from one of the Skins Billiard Championships. Silver Cup Chalk was one of the sponsors who helped make the event happen. At the players meeting, promoter Matt Braun made it very clear: The players were to use Silver Cup chalk at all times. No ifs, ands, or buts. He didn't want to see a piece of another brand sitting on the TV table when Silver Cup was one of the sponsors.
And speaking of chalk, does anyone remember those little pocket chalk holders? Karen Corr always used one that completely covered the outside of the chalk. I remember seeing several players use them back in the day.
The funny thing is that chalk has become almost a fashion accessory in pool now. Some of the pros have their own brands of chalk, Fedor and Alex Pagulayan come to mind.

Losing a match and blaming the chalk!! Weak sauce there.
