Early Impressions Of The Diamond Professional

do the pros realistically have that many runnable racks every single time?

I recall on an Accu-Stats video someone said in a tournament in North Carolina that Earl Strickland broke and ran out from his break 30% of the time in the tournament. They thought that was amazing.

I've got 60-70 Accu-Stats DVDs from the Sands Regency Open in Reno to the US Open, both back in the 1990s. The B&R % is not all that great.

Annual revenues of $6 million is not enough to cover salary for 200 employees worldwide and expenditures. Predator does not make its income statement available so I would not give much credence to Internet search values. The same internet search says that the carbon fiber market is about $400 million and Predator is a major producer, so go figure.
You make a good point. I do think $6 million sounds light. Very light, in fact. So I dug a little further.

I imagine Predator makes most of its money from cues, though it is of course branching out. Let's say it only got revenue from cues. Predator would have to sell 6,000 cues worldwide, at a cost of $1,000 each, to get to $6 million in revenue.

I've got to figure Predator sells at least 25,000 cues a year in the US alone. Maybe 50,000 or more worldwide. That would put revenue at $50 million a year before the sale of accessories.

Throw in cases, chalk, clothes etc. Maybe that's another $15 million to $25 million.

Looked at it this way. perhaps $60 million to $75 million a year is a conservative estimate. I'd guess $100 million in annual revenue would be toward the higher end.
