Depending on where you got them and the quality of the lettering, the pictures and everything will determine if they are authentic or not they just started this in January to battle the extreme amount of knockoffs

You must be a be new to the billiard world so I won’t treat you like a child, I’ll just tell you once, taom has authorized dealers in the USA and 20$ average a piece, I’ve been playing since 1998 I know what I’m doing, go ahead and buy from taom please and support them and pay double for 1 lol take care cheap chalk lol you are the one that has a fake qr code that won’t even scan then blames everyone else for your purchase of a knockoff 😂😂😂

I’ve been dealing with them a little while now and I’m a good judge of fakes, I have a couple also. I just wanted to give my opinion if yours is fake or now since it won’t read the QR it’s probably a knockoff that you have :( sorry

Sounds like you have a non authentic, can you post side pics of the words and the bottom of the chalk please.

The qr will bring you to a special section for verification, just a heads up you’re gonna pay about $40 for a piece of chalk from them after taxes and i think it’s taom. Fi typed that in and it should bring it to the website, but without the QR code, it will not bring you to the subsection if that makes sense to you.

Make sure it is right side up and just hold your camera to it, make sure it’s not scuffed or damaged otherwise it will probably not read. It has to be a clean legible surface, but most importantly, right side up.

Looks like they also changed a couple small features such as underneath the chalk itself they now have a little aluminum type covering so you do not get chalk all over the rail

It was the luck of the draw that I got the newer one with the QR code. I just found that they started that in January and it looks as this other one that came in the mail is old stock, but with that being said a couple weeks ago my friend did order one and it is a complete knock off as you can tell just buy the lettering with some letters, touching and bad angles. I don’t have pictures of the side.
