For sure, probably pick an existing product and modify it till their liking. Everyone needs to make money, if you invest in time and effort to build your brand, you can sell your product at whatever price you want. But selling a $800 pool product out of nowhere is wild LOL.
Majority of customer today knows better, plus there already hundreds of CF shafts on the market. Of course Alex team understands that, they want to be different than the rest, which makes sense to me. They do not want to compete with Predator or CueTec for the mass market, they aim to a different and smaller group of buyers.
As far as I know, most CF shaft cost less than $50 to make (shipped to your warehouse/garage), some probably less than $10. Taom chalk probably cost less than $1 to make (shipped), hell maybe even10 cents. Of course you have to buy large enough quantity. It's the branding and the trust that make it $20 chalk or $500 shaft. Alex's branding is not yet worth $800 to me today LOL
If what you say is so true, then why do they all hit so different? I have only tried a few CF shafts, and a few custom CF shafts, but they all felt / hit a lot different. I have tried the Jacoby Black, which was a really nice hitting shaft, and I have tried the Whyte Carbon, and that shaft was a game changer for me. Never felt so much power and feedback off of the cue ball, and such an amazing hit before, or after trying that shaft. Did not even have to get used to it. Loved it right away. Very hard to imagine any other CF shaft hitting as nice, or having as much power / feedback, off of the cue ball, as the Whyte Carbon.
