sure its not clean, but these people act like they are going to turn blue after prolonged use ...

They were Master chalk users?Well I have personally see people who could be member of the Famous Blue Men.

I like to look at these threads and then wait a week to see what direction the thread has taken.
What just happened...? This actually makes sense and is well written...Sad thing is many billiards accessories, are like fishing lures. Catch more fisherman, then fish.....

Check. I have not 1 but 2 in my bag.Maybe you need a soft towel to use to keep hands clean.![]()
i actually like the ultimate..... as a shaper/tapper, the other features are trash (burnisher and side sand paper feature)Check. I have not 1 but 2 in my bag.
if taom was $2 or something i might would, but for what benefit you get $30 is a jokeSomeday I might try the Toam. But all the perceived benefits go out the window at the pool hall.
From Dr Dave's website....
Here are the bottom line conclusions from the experiments: The brand of chalk doesn’t really matter much, unless you don’t chalk often or well enough, in which case chalks like Kamui, Blue Diamond, and Magic Chalk (see below) might help; although, “cosmetic grade” chalks like Kamui and Blue Diamond that persist on the CB can result in more frequent cling/skid/kick; therefore, their use is not recommended. Of all the chalks tested to date, Taom Pyro is the best at not sticking to the CB, so it will result in less frequent and less severe cling/skid/kick. Inexpensive chalks like Master are fine; although, if you play straight pool or other games where you can’t clean the CB often, Taom Pyro might be worth it due to the reduced chances for cling/skid/kick.
I completely agree with above statement. I played at a local against a guy that used Kamui. Made a mess of the cue ball, and skids were a problem. And not just a regular skid. What I would call AMPLIFIED skids.
I will have to give Toam a try. But i feel the advantages compared to Master would be nill in a pool hall setting.
I can see the benefits to the guys with home tables though.if taom was $2 or something i might would, but for what benefit you get $30 is a joke
I don't .. I have a home table .. I have no idea what problem they have ...I can see the benefits to the guys with home tables though.
For the price of 1 cube of Taom, you can get 1 cube of Masters, and 4 drinks at my local bar......if taom was $2 or something i might would, but for what benefit you get $30 is a joke
Chalking is an acquired skill. Some never get it. Watch Efren. He just dabs on a little for each shot.How is this happening with Masters? I agree it's not cleanest chalk out there but I don't have blue hands ever even after some long playing sessions.
thats all you needChalking is an acquired skill. Some never get it. Watch Efren. He just dabs on a little for each shot.
I play in a big room(30 tables) and you can always tell which table had 'bangers' vs. players. All the cubes are drilled-out on the banger tables. I told the owner if he'd make a 'How To Fkng Chalk' poster he could save 200bux a month on chalk alone.I understand the excessive mess of typical less expensive chalk when players use the endless drilling method likely with 'pool' players. ...and yes I'm singling out pool players, as they are the only ones I've seen bore holes into chalk.
powder all over the tables as well ... messy peopleI play in a big room(30 tables) and you can always tell which table had 'bangers' vs. players. All the cubes are drilled-out on the banger tables.
