Taom Snooker Chalk Review – The #1 Chalk In Snooker

by

Now I know that Taom Snooker Chalk has been mentioned many times on the Pro circuit, some players love it, whilst others cannot get used to it. But what about in the Amateur game – are there benefits for using this new type of Snooker chalk ?

TAOM Snooker Chalk

So I decided to take the plunge and try it for myself….

Pros

  • Reduces ‘kicks’
  • Does not leave loads of chalk marks or chalk dust on the table
  • Reduces the amount of chalk you get on your hands
  • One piece seems to last a long time
  • Seems to ‘grip’ the cue ball very well
  • Great for use with Aramith Snooker Balls

Cons

  • Can be expensive to buy
  • More prone to the occasional ‘miscue’
  • Does not seem like you applying much chalk to the tip at first

Comparison

In comparison to other snooker chalks, for example standard brands such as Diamond & Green Triangle Chalk, it is clearly a completely different type of chalk. It feels premium grade, and this reflects on the price.

Conclusion

Having used this chalk for around a month now, I can honestly say it has improved my game. When I was using other snooker chalks like the Green Triangle Chalk, I was getting kicks at almost every snooker session or sometimes when playing a match. So far, I have not experienced any kicks with this chalk – there is less mess too, minimal to no chalk dust on my hands, and no chalk marks or dust left on the cloth.

I seem to be striking the cue ball better too, it feels like I am getting a more solid contact on the object ball, and also find that I don’t need to hit the white ball as hard to get any desired spin.

If you are an experienced player, or even just starting out in the game, I would certainly recommend this chalk. After all, it will probably improve your game as it has mine.
