I'm in the same boat, is there a link to see what the discussion is about??
Have you heard about Titlist chalk (by Dr. V's Custom Shop) before SVB's recent announcement?
- Thread starter Vahmurka
- Start date
I think all chalk should be banned. Makes the game too easy. Only center ball strikes should be allowed. There, fixed it for ya
Yes, Dunn was talking it up prior I believe.
Everyone sells billiard accessories now, I don't see why SVB should be any different?
My first language isn't English, but I do notice that SVB's own post on Facebook about his new chalk could use a spell check:
"Everyone knew many years I have played with masters chalk. Lot of top pro players gave me a hard time because I’m using masters, ball skits, and dirty clothe"

Sullivan with his Triangle chalk. Most guys swear it's garbage......go figure. Brian.
Needed more Taom V10, so picked up Dr V's chalk and a cube of Pagulayan.
I use Taom for cleanliness - any properly applied chalk works fine in my experience.
Dr V's Titlist chalk is clean, but not quite as clean as Taom. Titlist chalks dusts up a bit like Masters. Taom almost never does.
The Titlist chalk is a little "creamier," though, and feels nicer to apply. Not sure I will switch from Taom, but I like Titlist so far based on how it goes on.
Haven't used the Pagulayan yet, but if it's just reformulated Taom in a square shape, I wouldn't have anything to say. Chalk shape is no big deal to me.
Now Fedor Gorst is about to come out with his own chalk.
Best thing that could happen is all the competition drives down prices. Shocked that Kamui still charges $30 or more for some versions of its chalk!

I've been using Dr V's magnetic chalk holder for years, He is more than a stand up guy, I ordered the wrong chalk holder, the magnetic is the same, and is ridiculously strong, but there are different chalk holders, long story short, he stopped the day before Thanksgiving to send me the proper one, at no charge, I always hated searching for chalk on the table, always having chalk at my side became part of my whole shot routine, so if you would like to always have chalk at your side but don't want any strings attached this magnetic holder is the best, it even has a cover to keep chalk dust out of your case

I have three of his chalk holders. Best one I’ve tried and the only one I’ve ever really liked. He’s got some new products coming out such as tip shapers. He puts a lot of thought into his products.
You are correct, the difference is cleaner hands, cleaner table, I am getting about 1 1/2 years out of 1 round of TAOM V10 chalk and I practice at LEAST an hour a day and usually more so I figured it is costing me about 25 cents a week, a great value to me.
I just got a round of the Blue TAOM V10 chalk, I want to use it for a couple weeks before a review, is it the same as the green? Not sure yet...
i asked AI this
is blue taom v10 the same as green taom v10
different browsers got different answers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i bolded the yes and no
..................................................
Yes, the blue Taom V10 chalk is identical in formula and performance to the green version, offering the same grip, control, and flexibility with the mission to create even stronger grip but with less residue. The only difference is the color, which was introduced because customers requested a blue option to match blue table cloths.
- Performance: Retailers and professional players, including Mark Selby and Stuart Bingham, confirm that the blue and green chalks provide the exact same experience.
- Usage: It works with all tip types, from hard to soft, and is suitable for any cue sport.
- Availability: The blue variant is available in packs of one, two, six, or nine, similar to the green version.
No, the Blue Taom V10 chalk is specifically formulated to provide even more grip than the Green Taom V10 chalk while leaving behind less residue. Both versions are designed for optimal performance, but they have different characteristics.
Comparison of Taom V10 Chalks
Key Differences
| Feature | Blue Taom V10 Chalk | Green Taom V10 Chalk |
|---|---|---|
| Grip | Provides even more grip | Standard grip |
| Residue | Leaves behind less residue | More residue compared to blue |
| Performance | Specifically formulated for optimal performance | Designed for optimal performance |
Summary
The Blue Taom V10 chalk is not the same as the Green Taom V10 chalk. While both are designed for optimal performance, the Blue version offers enhanced grip and produces less residue compared to the Green version.

These two statements cannot possibly be true, quit posting AI nonsense.
If you are interested in something that someone with _actual_ intelligence has concluded... I have used both, the blue is different, dustier, dirtier, and I won't buy it again. They are not the same in my experience.
Curious way to frame it. Under this view, any well known person who endorses any brand for any reason is a "pimp."
I have no issue with celebrity endorsements, especially endorsements from pro pool players trying to make a living in a sport that pays very little. Most pros are not fulltime players - they have to work other jobs, too.
For years SVB used Masters chalk without actually being sponsored by them. Good for him that he is going to make extra money based on the chalk he uses, which was not the case before. I doubt Shane would use a different chalk if he thought it made him play worse.
Dr V, for his part, is a small businessman slowly building out a line of products. I doubt his revenue is more than several hundred thousand a year. Can't fault anyone for trying to run their own business.
We customers, in any case, can choose to buy SVB's newly preferred chalk. Or not. It's our choice.
You gave your opinion
I cant speak if you have actual intelegence
Apparently there is a contrary opinion out there
