Taom Chalk

I have both pyro and v10. I can tell a difference in texture, as it is more powdery and does not stay on as long as V10. Performance I can't tell a difference, but it matches the table cloth now. ymmv

After I switched to the V10, I found myself miscueing a lot more than normal. About 10x more, actually. I switched to the Pyro in January (after Derby) and haven't miscued since. Of course I could just develop a better stroke, but failing that, switching to Pyro has solved my miscueing issue, and gives me almost as much grip as the Triangle I'd been using before.
 
Wow,,10 times as many miscues because you are using Toam V10 chalk. Better find yourself a better chalk to help stop that problem. I for one have seen very little of that problem happening , no worse than Masters for me. Hardly ever, miscue

I think I’ve said this before But I started only chalking once a game when I started using kamui. One night I forgot my chalk at home so I had to use the masters chalk that was at the bar. I still did my normal routine and didn’t miscue once lol I also spent some time using predator with the same results. maybe it’s just in our head lol
 
Sucker born every minuet but not concerning this new chalk. Gotta say after more that 50years of using Masters chalk I am amazed with the new Taom
V10 product enough that I ain't looking back. I received the stuff a few days ago and before play, I cleaned the table a couple of times. Vacuumed , then damp
cloth wipe down and let dry for a few hours. Used the polish compound to clean the balls and them micro towel finishing. After about 4 hours of play , my hands
were cleaner than I had ever seen. My table played so smooth , it was like playing on glass. Had to back to back runs over 50 balls and was well pleased with
how the table played. There was a small bit of grime where I lay down my bridge hand, but after cleaning the table a couple more times the hands are clean.
Seemed like the cue ball drew better than before also. The 860 HR is a bit coarser than regular 860 , making draw a bit tougher.
The chalk goes on like a paste and doesn't have crystal like particles falling from the chalk , like the Masters does. I have played many years and at a speed
at one time that some thought was exceptional . This chalk is exceptional , and expensive, yep, but figure that after the cleaning that you do for the table, and then not having to do that as much this chalk may save money, and the playing surface plays like glass afterwards. Have played about 20 hours since receiving
the product and the chalk looks like it is still new.
My 2 cents issued
Why in the f$&k is green they only color?

Not allowed at they pool halls I play, have to have blue.

It‘s a good question. I’ll say it doesn’t leave any marks so I don’t know how you would notice. I prefer blue as well but I don’t give it a thought because I’m not staring at my tip when shooting lol

Firstly the V10 have been developed for snooker may be!
 
Will be starting into my 3rd cube later this month or maybe august. I chalk on every shot as part of routine , so being a chalk that you don't have to use on each and every shot doesn't come into play.
In as a room owner saying that blue is the only allowed chalk, that's his play . As most rooms are of course using Masters, if I were there , that's what I would use,,,but won't be using it anymore on my table at home.

Add popping sugar pills before every match and it will increase your CB control exponentially.... ;)

Sry, just having fun with ya. You're problem was your stroke, not the chalk.
 
I’m assuming it’s just to differentiate itself from everyone else.
I used green Triangle chalk back in my snooker days. Pretty sure it's still around and what was in vogue prior to Taom V-10 hit the pro snooker circuit
 
Taom V10 was created because Pyro had one flaw. It did not have proper grip well with all layered tips. It worked good with most of tips but not all. V10 fixed that.

Possibly, but I still haven't miscued once in six months, since switching to Pyro.

whats your fargo?
Irrelevant.
I don’t think so since your results are definitely not the norm of most people and in general better players are able to appreciate and have more feel for subtleties
so i am curious
how good do you play
so I’ll ask again
what’s your fargo ?
i appreciate you took the time and posted your experience
its just your results are not what most are saying
