Nascar didn't have a bonus for winning with a specific car, nor did any auto makers as far as I know. But we all know their motto was "Win in it on Sundays, sell it on Monday's".If I am not mistaken, Meucci used to add a side pot or something to some pro events.
If the person who won the tournament won using a Meucci cue, they won the bonus. (Like $500 or something)
If the person who won didn't win it with a Meucci cue, the money carried over to the next tournament he added money to and the "Meucci money" side pot would grow in size.
I'm sure some old head can chime in with more info.
That probably had something to do with professionals using them, and people in turn, wanting to use what their idols used.
That type of marketing has always worked, and works well. If someone see's the best in the world using something, they want that same thing.
