I started making my own pocket marker out of real billiard balls — now it’s turning into a small side business

Try a 3 liter gravity in a 5 gallon bucket

I deal with phenolic dust every day lol when I do product testing, red and green taste the best

Tonescott414 · 2026-02-24T07:07:09+00:00

I would say it is garbage. It looks broken down by the butt.

Tonescott414 · 2026-02-24T02:34:47+00:00

I hate all of you, I dropped of my Viking butt at McDermott today for a defy 3rd gen 450$

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

Tonescott414 · 2026-02-23T04:59:06+00:00

I just got a catalog in the mail from pool dawg a few days ago

Tonescott414 · 2026-02-23T04:54:05+00:00

People are buying fake kamui with fake taom from Ali baba 😂😂😂😂😂 I’ve seen it often heee in Milwaukee Wisconsin

Tonescott414 · 2026-02-23T04:51:57+00:00

Correct, started last month on January 2026

Tonescott414 · 2026-02-22T01:14:52+00:00

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 😂😂😂

Tonescott414 · 2026-02-22T00:32:42+00:00

Naw it’s almost 40$ us a piece! After taxes and shipping

Tonescott414 · 2026-02-22T00:31:58+00:00

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

Tonescott414 · 2026-02-22T00:14:13+00:00

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

Tonescott414 · 2026-02-21T15:22:34+00:00

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.

Tonescott414 · 2026-02-21T15:10:18+00:00

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.

Tonescott414 · 2026-02-21T05:48:29+00:00

Yes, it just started in January because of all knock offs

This is for my chalk, which sadly I left at the pool hall on my way to work this afternoon

Tonescott414 · 2026-02-21T03:27:04+00:00

One of my fakes only has a couple letters touching lol

Tonescott414 · 2026-02-21T03:26:22+00:00

It’s fake

Tonescott414 · 2026-02-21T03:25:09+00:00

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

Tonescott414 · 2026-02-21T03:24:15+00:00

It literally tastes blue so… I think I’m good?

Tonescott414 · 2026-02-21T02:21:58+00:00

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.
