Dave, I’ll watch your video when I get a chance, but anyone who has used Taom Pyro chalk knows how incredible it is for not transferring any chalk marks to the cloth or to the cue ball. The combination of Taom Pyro chalk and a red circle cue ball is beyond belief. You can play all day/night with it and not see a chalk mark on the cue ball. Even miscue marks don’t look the same on the cue ball when using that chalk. It also lasts forever - I’ve been using the same piece for six months and I’ll easily get another 6+ months out of it.

The only way that's going to work for me is if the chalk is tied to a string and the string is tied around my neck.:frown:
Magnetic chalk holder in my back pocket does the job for me!
Dave,
Are you using the same tip for all of your chalk tests? If so, what tip are you using? As you know some tips hold chalk better than others and some tips perform better with certain chalk. The opposite can be said for chalk. Some chalk will perform better on a certain type of tip. For example, I've tested tips that would retain Masters chalk much better than Kamui.

Yes, within each video. In this video, I used a Moori tip. In others, I used Triangle. I have also tested other tips and many other chalks.
In my experience, the tip brand/type/hardness and chalk brand don't really matter much if you chalk carefully before each shot.
Regards,
Dave
I would tend to disagree as well. If comparing chalks, you have to be conducting your tests, if using more than one cue, by using the same exact brand and hardness of tip. There is a huge difference in how Taom Pyro chalk adheres to a Zan soft tip as opposed to a Zan medium tip, for instance.
Are you talking about adhering from one shot to the next, in case you don't chalk before a shot? Or are you talking about how it looks visually when you apply the chalk to the tip? Or are you talking about actual performance (e.g., less miscues) due to better adhering? If the latter, have you done careful tests to verify this?
Thanks,
Dave
Dave, I’d answer yes to all your questions. I’ve been playing with Taom Pyro chalk for over a year. The first 6+ months with a Zan medium tip and the last 6+ months with a Zan soft tip. Huge difference!
