Jayson shaw right now doing his 14.1 challenge ,said to be using taom, notably not chalking up every shot.
Nah, and I wouldn't either, but that's more because of the game being played then anything else. 14.1 isn't played with much action (if any) on the CB. He also is clearly not bearing down and grinding through anything. My point is, if you had a do or die shot before you. Would you not chalk regardless of the sales pitch that stated you shouldn't have to because you already had 4 shots ago...?
And again no claims ever of the chalk improving your own performance, merely a preference
Hold on... Not that I agree in the slightest, but I have seen claims on this very forum that some (maybe 1) had experienced greater application of spin with V10 (unsubstantiated). Which I guess flies in the face of the "V10 is less abrasive theory" (unsubstantiated). However, none the less... If you can swap chalk and produce more CB action with the same stroke, then it's improving your performance..., yes/no? By extension..., if we must believe everything posted in this purely fact based forum. Some chalks will prevent you from having to shape your tip, (unsubstantiated). So if you 'master' the application method then you should never suffer from a drop in performance due to tip condition issues. It's been an eye opening week for me in AZB.
Please know the above is tongue in cheek.
