Taom V10

[Hugh Jass]

Looking at buying some Taom V10 chalk, I see that most sells for around $19 but on Ebay you can get it for $9 and up, would this be the fake or nock off brands?

I would be shocked if you can get genuine V10 for $9. That’s probably around what a dealer buying in bulk is paying wholesale.

I have seen knock off V10 and it sucks.

The newer V10 does have a QR code on the back that allows you to check if it’s real.

I have seen it on Temu.

Authentic V10 lasts forever, why would you risk getting a fake over $10?

I've also seen the "is it legit?" Taom for approx. $10.

If you buy the expected knock-off $10 then find out it's not up to spec, then you by the legit Taom for $20, now you're into it for $30.

Buy the legit Taom and save the $10 you would waste on the fake.

(Edited my response. Realized that my original wording was a bit confusing).

Well, until the knock-off swindlers figure out they should price it at $18.50, and they catch all the buyers who figure it's legit but want to save $1.50. I think Ebay/Temu are not the right place to buy Taom.

I wish they would sell it in cube form.

I wish they would sell it in cube form.

The Pagulayan chalk is supposedly made by Taom.

The Pagulayan chalk is definitely made by Taom. I cannot tell a difference between the green Pagulayan and the V10, but perhaps I’m not astute enough to catch the distinction.

I love it for the square shape with all the good properties of V10.

There is also TAOM V10 Snooker chalk that a slightly different color. Of all places, Walmart carried it and I bought 4 pieces for $11 each. Comes on its own plastic case and 3 of my pals bought the chalk from me. We all carry it as a backup in our pool cases. It seems to have a softer grit, IMO but it’s only for backup, along with my favorite chalk due to its cube shape, Pagulayan. Oval chalk is just a horrible design but V10 lasts so long I haven’t had to use a different
piece of chalk for 18 months. Gosh, what a bargain if and when you sparingly brush apply TAOM chalk to your cue tip.
