How many of these cues are they making to be selling out of them on the first day? Then it takes months for a restock if at all. This is a piss poor business model this is losing sales to me.

It's not a piss poor model for making themselves money if there's clueless newbs and fanboys to shell out for them. Business is what they do well. Love for the growth of the game is something they do good at feigning.

BK Rush

R
There was a new batch came out today. I tried my best to get one but w/o success. I got on four sites within two minutes of when they went on sale and only had a shot a two. Both of those sites gave me problems with "add to your cart" and but in both cases they were sold out within 2 minutes. During those two minutes the sites were jammed up and nothing was responding quickly. I assume because they had too much traffic. I had to select shaft length and weight prior to putting it in the cart and I just could not get that done before they sold out. Very frustrating and a weird way to see cues to be sure. I am currently trying to purchase one second hand.

Why are there so few black pro players..?

Perfect answer.

Outside of a cultural anthropologist, maybe a marketing or advertising person, I am not sure why it would matter much to most. Maybe a "black studies" professor...

I would ask if anybody here spends much of any time thinking about it. If so, why?

Interesting to note that pool is very accessible to the general public, but it seems most tables outside pool halls are in bars. My old university had a great pool hall filled with Gold Crowns. They took it out.

Do recreation centers still have pool halls? Our local bowling alley has a couple tables, but they are crap.

Demographics and pool is interesting, but who sits around thinking about it unless it's their job?

Going Pro takes a personality/drive to accept a million misses, much less Hitting a Million Balls.

Just like the female question, its a numbers game maybe a money game. Don't exactly know the population percentages of White vs Black but believe that Black folks in the US are still a minority.
Then there's always the money thing. No matter if you're white black or green, you need cash to compete in Pro Tournaments.

Blacks account fot 14% of the US population.

Check on a BK Rush second hand cue I'm purchasing

Just out of curiosity, what makes the BK Rush more desirable than other break cues from reputable brands? I'm not asking to be a smartass. I'm genuinely curious as to what the draw is to these specific break cues.

Well, my experience is very limited My current break cue is a McDermott Birdseye Maple butt with a McDermott break shaft with a phenolic tip/ferule. I have a reasonably good break normally but last week I was struggling. I had 6 breaks in a row dry. I realized the ferule was loose and asked a friend if I could use her break cue, a BK Rush. I had three breaks and made two balls twice and three on the other. The difference in hi and the spread of the balls was apparent right away. I've been playing for a long time and I've never had breaks like that, and it just felt different. I purchased the McDermott because it was not expensive and I wanted to have a cue to play with that wasn't my playing cue. After this experience I decided a good break cue was in order. I've borrowed some other break cues but none were like this for me. Others may be just a good, but I believe many pros play with the BK Rush break cues and I figured I would try one. I figure if I don't like it I can resell it because they sell for more second hand than new.
