The Quest for Chalk

[Neil Taperell]

If it's that good , hopefully the price will come down with more people buying it .

But is it bigger than a regular cube?

Just put a new piece next to a new triangle chalk. It's slightly smaller but being round I think it gives better chance to actually use a full piece. Don't think I've ever got to halfway on a normal chalk before changing.

I'd imagine so, I'm a chalk pouch user but draw the line at wearing a glove.

Cheers Markz.

I'll wait until ADR gets his next batch in to try one out

I got lucky, following the pros on twitter I saw all the positive reviews and then saw a regular guy saying he still preferred his triangle chalk. He sold me his two pieces of Taom for 12 quid instead of paying 30 plus postage from Finland.

I probably don't play as often as you but used it for 3 weeks so far and shows very little use. I chalk every shot but only lightly. I've had 1 kick in that time against my mate and he had normal triangle chalk. All solo sessions no kicks, no chalk on cue ball or table and really good grip, no miscues. Early days but got to be good 8/10. Plenty pros on twitter giving good reviews and Neil Robertson said they should all start using it.

Cheers Markz.

Just seen your comment. 12 months really??
How many marks out of 10 would you give it?

Can you stick it in your back pocket comfortably?

One a month Travis? It must be all that side you use and double chalking after all those miscues lol

You are getting me confused with someone else I think lol

[Hello, Mr Big Shot]

I'm just using a basic elk. I like the fact it's round instead of a cube, I can mess the top up of a square piece of chalk within a few sessions and becomes annoying to use. This wears evenly as its round and I reckon one piece may last me 12 months. I was daft enough to try kamui chalk which was crap and 10 quid dearer than the taom. Think for the benefits it's worth the initial outlay.

But it's still chalk at the end of the day.
Does anyone know how long one cube lasts?
I go though one a month using Masters Green.

I guess because it is made in Finland not China!

Does anyone know the reason why this Taom chalk is so expensive??
It's only chalk after all, unless it has gold dust mixed in with it!!!

Is this new chalk really the future?

Anyone else care to comment?

If it's the same round chalk that Robertson v Allen were using then there were still kicks in that match.
