If you are a habitual chalk grinder while you’re contemplating your next shot, buy the cheapest chalk you can get. Any chalk will wear down quickly with the grinding. If you’re properly applying chalk (gently rub it on to fully coat the tip and then PUT IT DOWN!), spend the extra for a better chalk.I started using Kamui’s Roku in place of Masters when my wife bought me a “cube” for Christmas. My thought was “why would anyone spend that much on a single piece of chalk?!!” and “well I have it now so I’ll use it”. I never looked back until now because the burgundy cloth on my table was staying very clean as was shooting glove. Whenever I go elsewhere to shoot, my glove quickly gets horribly dirty from the cheap chalk on the tables. Whenever I have friends over to shoot who use other chalk (almost always Masters) I start having problems with English - particularly drawing - due to all the chalk on the table making the cloth slick. Much better after cleaning the table!Besides being much cleaner, I began noticing that when I would go to chalk, the tip is still well coated. Now that’s a mixed blessing because not chalking every shot changes the routine. I got used to it and my routine is now just touch the chalk to the tip and apply a little if needed - usually very minimal.I shoot 3-5 hours most days and instead of all those cubes of Masters, I use one per year. So if you don’t lose it or forget it on the table during league or worst (!!) let you grinding buddies use it, these more expensive brands are actually much cheaper over time.Now, fast forward to me switching to this Taom V10. I’m finding that V10 applies to the tip much easier, sticks just as well, and is even cleaner during application. And it’s almost half the price of the Roku!Some notes- any chalk will shoot just fine as long as you have a good even coating on the tip. With some that is difficult to do.- if you forget your good chalk and are forced to use other chalk, wipe the tip clean before putting the good stuff on later. If you don’t, the bad stuff falls off and the good stuff over the top goes with it.- get yourself a chalk holder with a cover because dried out chalk doesn’t work well. The gripping power of the chalk comes from the moisture content. Mind you, dried out Taom V10 is still going to outperform those cheap ones.

*** DISCLAIMER ***I am NOT a profession pool/billiards/snooker player. I am an average Joe who likes to play. I use an $80 cue and a Super soft tip.Now, is this Chalk expensive? YES! Most chalk cost $0.40 per cube or in that ball park. This cylinder you get half the amount for almost $20. Is it worth it? I guess that depends on what you are willing to pay for. So will this chalk make you a better player? NO! No more than buying a Lambo makes you a better driver. However, the right tools can get the job done faster, easier and with less headaches than using cheap or worthless ones. So in that regard, this chalk is so far the BEST I have ever played with. It applies to the tip super easy and it lasts through 5 or more shots. Leaves little to no residue on the cloth or ball and feels like it gives me better striking capability. I find I can use more extreme English with this chalk vs others. I really do like this chalk. So the question? Is it worth it? Well, If you use a house cue or your cue is cheap/basic and you haven't changed the stock tip, or you are a person who only plays once in a blue moon, then I would say NO, this isn't worth it. However, If you are serious about your game, have updated your cue and tip and a looking to improve your game further, then Yes, I would say this chalk is well worth the cost.

I've used a number of different chalk brands, from the ubiquitous Master chalk, to Silver Cup, Kamui Roku 6, even Taom's own Pyro. This is hands down the cleanest (I've been using a different piece of V10 for roughly six months). Very little gets on my hands, and I rarely, if ever, find any miniscule pieces on my table (which as you can see has olive green cloth, so it would stand out). It also rarely leaves chalk marks on the cue ball, which is a big deal. Prior to the V10, the Pyro was the cleanest I had used, but the V10 is demonstrably cleaner.Just like the Pyro, the chalk stays on your tip a long time. Long enough to perhaps only chalk once or twice a game. Which is, of course, a downside, as it can set up bad habits. The first time you play in a pool hall or tavern and use standard house chalk you're likely going to miscue on the second or third shot. But that's the player's fault. ;)Notice I don't mention anything about whether this chalk has more "grip" than others. Well, subjectively it seems to be superior, but I much prefer objective, empirical data. And according to Dr. Dave (look him up), if you chalk consistently, the brand of chalk used makes little to no difference in your shot. Good enough for me.So, is it worth the price? I've seen plenty of comments on pool players websites where people blanch at the idea of spending essentially $20 on a single piece of chalk when a box of 24 Master's can be had for the same price. Fair enough. But if you value a clean table, clean hands, and the crutch of not having to chalk before every shot (you should anyway), this stuff is hard to beat. Also, many players have thousands, if not tens of thousands, invested in their table and cues. Being unwilling to splurge a teeny-tiny bit seems weird, no?Ah, it's available in green, as well.Highly recommended.
