He's very popular in Asia, and especially China, and the market is already fixated on other things. He cannot meet the price needed to obtain a valid market share. It's the same with all the products he sells, right down to the chalk. Ding Jun Hui has the market there, so why bother. He comes to Asia to source product, not sell it, so that he can finish it to his liking and stick the necessary labels on in North America.
I'd say most players in Asia already aspire to have an Exceed or Zen cue (usually to accompany whatever BK/air rush colour is popular).
I'd say there are more players willing to spend on cues here in China than anywhere else. But what they want to buy, and the way the consumer economy works, is like an endless cycle of marketing and influencer nonsense.
Totally agree here, that's why he is aggressively targeting the North American consumer. "Made in your back garden" using a "magic process taught to me by the wood loving elders"
The profit margin for Predator is enormous, and here in China, where players have shiny new thing syndrome, some of the resellers are making big profit margin too on stupid colors of the same product rehashed over and over.
