green taom chalk on blue 860hr cloth

If you lay your tip on the rail to check bank angle the green chalk will definitely leave a mark. I’ve had to brush off the mark plenty of times before I shoot.
 
I sometimes get little green spots that come off easily via wiping down with a cloth. And when I say wipe down with a cloth, that might be every 3-6 months. Much less of any issue than other chalks.

Note that the blue taom V10 is not the same formulation, it is not a substitute for the green.

Any idea why the 2 different colors, are they different formulas? Is one softer than the other like how Kamui had 2 different chalks?
 
I have played with TAOM v10 and Pagulayan Chalk (TAOM made) for about 2 years.
It is the cleanest chalk I have ever used or ever even tried. It is immaculately clean.
No chalk debris, dust, flakes, etc. whatsoever & the cue ball remains clean for hours.

TAOM Chalk, and Pagulayan Chalk, which I prefer because it has a cube shape instead
of oval so it doesn’t run and hide as easily if droppped and just feels more natural to use,
are the best chalks I ever used for cleanliness, easily applied and is the best quality chalk.

I have been using Taom V10 for almost two years. No issues whatsoever with its green color showing on my not green cloth.

V10 is extremely clean and unobtrusive.

Not with TAOM in my experience unless the player doesn’t apply chalk the right way.

Dr. Dave has a video on the proper way to apply chalk to a cue tip. However, so many
pool players still twist their pool chalk and the evidence stares them in the face. Just
take a moment to examine the chalk in their pool case. Look at the shape and bowl like
contour of their pool chalk which is the result of how they misapply chalk using way more
than is necessary with a high quality chalk as easily applied as TAOM chalk. If you have
chalk debris on your pool table, you are not applying TAOM chalk to your cue tip correctly.

This is not a lecture but simply a truth that stares at you every single time you pick up your
chalk. The proof is in your hands. The vast majority of pool players do not apply chalk the
correct way. You will not get blue ferrules, fingers or hands from TAOM or Pagulayan chalk.

If you do, what more proof do you need. BTW, if you applied any brand chalk the right way,
you very likely wouldn’t get such a mess but there are also cheap, crap quality chalks. So
play any chalk you want but don’t confuse TAOM with what you use. It is the best chalk I
have ever used and people may think you are some elitist playing TAOM. Those same folks
likely think a custom cue is a waste of money because like chalk, all pool cues are the same.

I’ll close this post with this…….they are dead wring on both counts and TAOM costs a lot less
than getting a custom cue built. When you can have the best and it doesn’t cost much annually,
i.e. TAOM, why wouldn’t you use it? Remember any chalk will play cleaner when properly applied.

I’ll have to post pics of V10 buggers on my CB. It happens often and doesn’t matter which brand CB I use. I only lightly brush the tip when applying chalk

Both contain the same abrasive, but one has smaller abrasive particles, the other larger. Sort of like the difference between 1000 grit sandpaper and 1200 grit sand paper.

The softness/hardness of the chalk comes from the binder (that is the colored part of the chalk).

Sounds like you are doing what seems correct. I have a dozen cue balls and none of them were cheap. My favorite to
play with is the Aramith Black Measle Ball. My point is none of the cue balls I play with, or any I used in a tournament,
showed TAOM chalks marks but I sure could see lots of blue left on the cue ball by my opponents. Dunno what to say
about your e peril cr since this is the 1st time I’ve heard this critique of TAOM.
