Miscue with Taom v10 chalk

From my experience, the V10 needs more attention when applying it to the tip. Especially on the sides of the tip. I need to scuff the tip more often with the Blue V10.

I also have the Pagulayan chalk in green, made by Taom but in my opinion it has a different formula to it, it’s a bit softer and applies easier and grabs the sides of the tip better.

Maybe it’s Blue vs. Green, I could order a green V10 and a blue Pagulayan and test but why bother?
The green Pagulayan works great for me and I prefer the cube shape so it’s a win win for me.

I started to pitch this chalk on this Forum months back. It is better than V10, if not for its shape alone.
 
For those that claim chalk makes no difference on miscue: would it not be possible that people adjust their miscue limit/offset based on their chalk?

Perhaps start cueing a little bit closer to center after an adjustment period?

How did the pro's overcome the miscues with v10 chalk? Did they adjust their miscue limit on the CB, and stop hitting as far out on the CB edges as they use to?

People say it is a stroke issue but I strongly believe the the grittier chalks let you hit, or give you a larger miscue limit.

Does Taom V10 and other soft chalks give you the same spin as grittier/harder chalks without having to hit as far outside on the cueball?

Pros and better players use more center ball than you think.
You miscue because you come out of the shot. Lift up a little and the body follows.
It's the tip.
It's the chalk.
It's always you.
It's you when you play great and it's you when you play poorly.
Oh wait. It's the shaft, no it's the wrap on the butt of your cue.
It's always you. Get better.
 
I have said many times that Taom chalk can have miscue problems with some layered tips that expose a lot of glue layer when shaped. Taom does not stick to hard surface that why it works. Especially Pyro have problem with many layered tips. That is why they kept improving chalk after Pyro and finally made V10. V10 is a lot better and dealt that problem mostly but with some tips it can be little problem still.
Observe your tip and if layer of glue exposed is on critical part of your tip try little bit off from tip so exposed glue layer move place where it wont matter...
 
I use V10, I have for a few years. I personally like the round shape, I don't remember ever dropping it.
If we did not have chalk we would all use center ball. Not a bad thing...unless you need draw, follow or side.
 
One miscue today.

200 balls pocketed in an hour 1.5

Warm in the pool hall so it gave me the cake layers. Also an old piece of v10 that was given to me.

A key piece of missing information is how many times in the 200 balls did you chalk your cue’s tip?

Next would be what do you believe was the reason for your miscue? Then before you miscued, how
many shots did you take without chalking including the miscue’s stroke attempt? Were you stroking
the cue ball with English, what type and how many tips of aEnglish were you applying? There are a
variety of reasons why you may miscue. Even one in 200 attempts is too many? You are not supposed
to miscue. I attribute it to carelessness more than anything else, at least for me. There’s no reason to do it.

If you have an awkward bridge or very difficult shot, respect its difficulty, be careful & try to avoid any English.

I forget. I wasn't really testing the chalk because I would be thinking about it too much.

I was in the mood to play since there were a lot of tournaments being streamed this weekend and I was motivated to play.
