TAOM V10 Chalk 1 x Cube Only

Amazing chalk, the difference between this and others I've used is night and day. It is soft and not dry, goes on smooth and even with no mess whatsoever or marks on balls, i was able to play two games the other night with just applying once. well worth the money if you are thinking about getting it.. get it! it will last if you take care of it. (i got the case with mine)

I am a mediocre pool player. This was very expensive. However, I will purchase again. The predator chalk made a huge mess on my new table and marked up the cue ball. This taom chalk is fantastic. It is easy to put on and it stays on very well. I could not find any on my table or cue. So, if none gets wasted, I expect it to last a long time. I also like the round shape and light green color.

I wish it were cheaper. But I'm still going to buy it again.This is the best chalk I have ever used!!!I have been using Magic Chalk for a few years because it is so much cleaner than Master, and I've tried several other premium chalks as well, but, after reading the reviews here, I thought I should try TAOM at least once.I cleaned all the blue chalk off my tips, reshaped them quickly, and went from there.It "feels" to be of similar consistency to MC.The very first things I noticed were the lack of noticeable chalk transfer to the cue ball and no "bridge" chalk on my fingers. My table is far cleaner as well.I think it is at least as forgiving as MC in terms of re-chalking, but the round shape makes proper application much easier. It is not for you "center of the cube" drillers of chalk.After a few days of use, on several cues with various tips (medium or harder) I can tell you that, if properly applied, it does not cake on the tip, has exceptional grip on both leather and layered tips, and makes my game more fun, despite the price.I can see a cylinder of it lasting 2-4 months of 1-3 hours of casual play almost daily. That lifetime is yet to be determined but my impression is that is at least as long lived as MC.The enclosing paper seems to have logical guides for trimming it back so as to prolong the useful lifetime of each cylinder of chalk.I'll edit this in 60 days or so in relation to that value factor.Okay. I missed my 60 days and it is now 120 days of daily use. I'm still using that same piece and it looks like I'll get another considerable amount of time from it. I cannot stress how well it promotes good chalking technique.I am using it on a rotation of cues with various tips, from hard to soft, both laminate and not.It's even better than I hoped it would be.If you shoot regularly and never seemed able to find that perfect chalk, get some! You're going to love it.

Creamy like application, goes on smooth. NO RESIDUE! When I say no residue, I mean NONE, not on my ferrule, hands, cue ball, or table. No teeth grinding, screeching sound. You do not need to chalk but every 3 or so shots, depending on how you are shooting. I typically apply before every shot, out of habit. Now it's more shooting, less chalking. Very rarely have I miscued with this chalk, If I have it's because of a failure on my part. I store mine in a metal holder with a top, as I use a magnetic pocket piece. When not in use, I will put in a zipped sandwich bag in my cue case to prevent any moisture or drying. Not that I have had this issue, just a personal preference. May seem pricey for one "cube", but it is well worth it. Because it doesn't go on very fine and gritty with a lot of fall off or residue, this chalk can last you 8 months or more. I play league and tournaments so I am using it at least 5 hours a day, 4 days a week! My husband has been a huge predator fan for quite some time, I have converted him. It only took one set and he was asking for me to order him some! A lot of shooting pool is in your head. You can have the best cue, best tip, everything... but if that chalk isn't there you're going to mess up or miss more shots than you make. I did not have to prep my tip or anything, it went on like a dream. I'll tell you all alike I did my husband, Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. You may even find a new favorite!

Worth the money just buy it, you'll see why.

This chalk IS superb - I knew what I was getting and despite its longevity, I wanted some replacements, having GIVEN a piece to a pool friend of mine. SO, I thought ordering it again would give me the result I had the FIRST time from Beer City. Er, NO!!When they sent my first shipment, the chalk came in a little black box with “TAOM” printed in gold lettering on the top, a cushioned inside and a tightly fitting lift-off lid. VERY fitting for such an exclusive and top-of-the-line product, and of course I was very impressed.Today I received the next shipment and to my dismay it came in a translucent self-seal package with “Beer City” Billliards printed on an 8-ball logo. Hardly comparable I think you’ll agree.I understand the need to advertise and all that but please, just put a flyer in instead and let me have the QUALITY box that I had the last time.I fear this is indicative of COST CUTTING of some companies and I would like to say it is UNACCEPTABLE, especially at the price I pay for this particular chalk. It is a special product and deserves special packaging - period.I don’t see the point of keeping the box only either. I’m sorry but this sort of practice really narks me.I shall be writing to the vendor to let them know as well, although it hardly warrants a return I feel. I just want them to know that SOME of us do expect certain standards, especially when we are paying this sort of money for a premium product!!!PS The quality box ALSO offered protection for this expensive chalk. The cheap nasty self-seal thing does NOT!!!

Very good and premium feel

Arrived on time and as described.
