    I was talking to Alexander Ursenbacher recently, he said he's been using Taom chalk for the last two years and he's never had a kick with it, he couldn't have sounded more of a proponent of its use.

      I really grudge paying 15 quid for a bit of chalk but after my practice session yesterday I’ve decided to treat myself. Call it a early Xmas present. Yesterdays practice session was frustrating. I had numerous kicks. I’ll probably only use the TOAM chalk when playing solo as from what I understand both players need to use TOAM for there to be a benefit.
      PS. Can anyone see any problem, re the cue tip, if I swap backwards and forwards between normal green triangle chalk and TOAM?

        I’ve used Taom for some while now and play against people who use Triangle etc . Yes I still get the occasional kick against these players but it’s been reduced by the chalk I’m using. In my mind I’ve reduced the risk of kicks by 50% by using Taom against these players .

        Yes the cost is more but the chalk lasts longer than older brands.

        Make sure you get the V10 version which is the latest.

            That's "in form" Allen gone... guess Thepchaiya is "informer"

                Cheers , yes he had been . The operation he had clearly has had a severe effect on his eyesight .

                    I get the feeling this will not be a slow match

                          The fast and the furious,
                          The slow and labourious,
                          All of us, glorious parts of the whole!

                              I know this is sport(ish) and people will talk about Teppy and Lisowski as underachievers maybe forever... but I for one am just pleased they play the game.
