Interesting recent relevation: While the chalk that ‘grabs’ best may well be preferred for competition, I find that for practice sessions, chalk that allows more miscues promotes focus on better cuing mechanics. If thus forced to concentrate, better bridging will eventually become natural. In my case, constantly playing with grabby chalk leads to sloppy bridging. Frequent miscues reminds me to pay attention to form. The CB can be adequately drawn /directed with the worst chalk, if you focus.

Should probably develop better chalking habbits

I've got a few Masters and Triangle cubes in my case that are over 20 years old. I had put them in a sandwich bag and used a Master cube a couple weeks ago on 20+ year old tips on my cues that I did a little scuff on. The tips held the chalk and the chalk went on real easy. I'll use them till I run out of chalk.
I got a piece of the new Pagulayan square version of V10. Still dropped it.
Tests are being conducted on whether square or round chalk will rest further away from the user once dropped on vinyl tile.
Who is doing the testing ... were any polls taken. Is the flooring being checked for level? If so was a Starret used.

They actually do. They hold the chalk and no miscues and no problem putting spin on the CB. Will be changing them in the next little ehile

I don't stop there, I use lithium grease on my practice cue to enforce focus on good fundamentals. I play on a solid steel table without pockets to build accuracy and use ball bearings instead of pool balls. When I get on the local 4" Diamonds with regular sized balls it's like throwing stones in the ocean.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that ping.
That's why I use a hard tip. Well, that and I prefer it. I went without miscuing for about 6 months, then miscued 3 times in one night. But it was all on me, my back was screwed and I was raising up on shots, basically clenching from pain. I took 2 days off and focused on stretching well in those 2 days and the miscuing and popping up went away. That was 2 weeks ago and none since. Hopefully I can break my old record

Just got my chalk today and it is a winner. It is the same price as V10 and it is the shape that chalk was meant to be.
Gosh, whomever came up with the notion that circular chalk was a better design than square never played much pool.
It came in a nice box and the shape feels natural, more normal in your hand and easier to swipe your chalk on the tip.
However, let me clear that all chalks do the same thing but all chalks are also different in terms of cleanliness & messy.
Taom chalk is the best by far and you can buy one cube and it should last a very long time. I love Taom chalk for its
cleanliness but hate the friggin’ round shape. Well, Pagulayan chalk is Taom chalk but in a square shape….. Alleluia!
