Becue Break Cue - Dark Matter

I'm no affiiated with them, so obviously can't offer a quote for any US distributor, but you can get a cost idea by going to:
http://www.becueofficial.com/shop.html
and using Google to recalculate to USD.

For example, the Dark Matter break cue is around $600.00 USD, while play cues run from $950.00 to $1,550.00. These are prices from "becue official" website, and may not reflect markups from various distributors; however, the site does have a "add to cart" function, so at least you have a general idea. Hope this helps.

edit: so .. while I was researching and typing all that up - others posted quicker responses. (oh well, maybe next time :))

However, if you check in with Wrickyb, he has knowledge of sales, Christmas specials, etc. So there's a chance to save a little cash if you wait for a sale. (They had one after last year's expo).

I understand everyone wants to find conspiracies these days, but you won't find any here with these guys. Drop them a private email and go from there. Until then, follow the links for the listed price.

Thanks and yes the Standard prices are listed on the site but if you private message me there are Unlisted specials. Also there will be a BIG Announcement about the Dark Matter Break Cue coming!

And yes I'm the representative in the USA, I never hide that fact.

Why only private quotes if I may ask. If it's a new company and a production cue they need all the exposure possible correct? My only assumption is the dealers don't have a whole lot of guidelines to pricing and you are charging more than the other dealers? Just curious, thanks!

Depending on the product my price is NEVER higher than the website. I'm in the process of setting up some dealers in the USA but that will probably not be complete until after the first of the year. The orders placed through me are processed back through the factory and invoiced through PayPal.

If you have any questions you can ask here and it may be posted or answered in Private Message. Or you and email me at USABecueOfficial@gmail.com

I have a question.
Since there's no place on the web page to choose a weight - does that mean you need to purchase the $140+ Leonardo weight system to set it up to the weight you want?
I did notice that the "standard" weight was 19 oz ... will you be offering a "choice"?

Very good question and I'm getting an answer from the factory on the shooting cue and the Dark Matter break cue.

I double checked with the factory and you are correct to change the weight of the shooting cues you need the LBS (weight system). The break cue, Dark Matter, only has the following options at time of order, 19 to 20.5 oz weight which can be forward or back loaded.

Please let me know if you have other questions or contact me for a quote.

Question

Ricky, In reading the BeCue website about this new break cue I came across the following quote about the new break cue and I need some clarification;

"The shaft integrates Aurora Front end Technology and has a dedicated stratigraphy with a non-paint finish to ensure the ultimate feeling while preparing the break shot."

What on earth does that mean? the definition of stratigraphy is as follows;

noun
1.
a branch of geology dealing with the classification, nomenclature, correlation, and interpretation of stratified rocks.

So what the heck are they trying to say here? Also what is the reason for not having a butt cap on the cue?

This what the factory told me, keep in mind English is not their first language.

Stratigraphy (sorry for the improper use of the term) is the lamination of the different fiber sheets inside the shaft, obviously the fiber used in the play shaft is different from that used on the break shaft.

The break has not a butt cap because it is not as useful as in the playing cue, and for a design issue too

Yes, you have another question?

No sir. Thank you for trying to get some information for me. Candidly, they don't really explain the difference in anything, and everything on their site seams vague or hyperbole.

I hear your point about about their native language not being english, but that's the only language on their website. Also, that was the response I heard a year ago when they were first here on the forums and I asked a question about their product...

Thanks for trying - I'd need more substance to consider their products.
 
I just ordered a Dark Matter break cue. Since I recently ordered a Revo shaft, I figured I may as well go "all black". What the heck. I'm willing to try any type of new tech. Worst case, I like the Schon cue that I"m using as a break cue right now better than this new one. It's worth a try to me.

My thoughts exactly. Got mine last week and think it breaks great. I haven't tried the BK Rush but I would like to so I can compare the two. Plus I figured everyone will have the Rush and not so much the Dark Matter.

If you were here a year ago, you would've seen they made their patents public. The cue makers came on AZ and answered questions up front and in person.

Then there was the review threads, and a number of AZers that have the Becue and documented their very positive reviews/experiences with the not just the product, but the company and the customer services.

I'm still waiting for predator to make an appearance on AZ to promote the Revo. Maybe someday. But until then, I'll try anything as long as the player is considered first and foremost before the company profit line.

As for the substance you are looking for, what exactly do you want to know? Are you looking for a factory tour or their recipe for creating such a stellar product? I'm sure other cue companies looking to get into carbon fiber are as well.
 
OK who is coming to Mosconi? I get there Saturday night and will be available for Demos at Griff's when not involved with the Hall of Fame or the Mosconi Event. I will have shooting cues to try and break cue. You can email to set a time to meet, USABecueOfficial@gmail.com If you have never been to Griff's it is great and great food.

Let me know.

Whether somebody likes what BeCue has to offer or not is a matter of personal preference and that's nothing if not understandable.

How accommodating and customer-friendly the BeCue guys are, is, in fact - a fact. Their customer service is second to none in my experience.

I strongly recommend everybody to try out their cues if they get a chance and then decide on their own.

Disclaimer: I haven't tried the Dark Matter, only their playing cue.

I don`t have a bone in this fight, but your reply was kinda rude.
You could do some googeling of your own, as I did.
"Stratigraphy" clearly is a term in geology and no matter how I bend the word and put it through a Italian to English transelator, there does not really seem to be any connection to carbonfibre or pool cues.
It`s an Italian company and I`m sure there is a language barrier, it sucks that you don`t get the information you want, but it`s a carbon fiber shaft, there`s not a million ways those can be made, so without even knowing the product, I can tell you that what they are trying to say is that the carbon fibre weave is cross laminated. Wich is a very common way to layer carbonfibre.
How this transelates into play, no text in the world will tell you, as pool shafts is a fairly subjective thing.
Calling Becue out on being vague or using hyperbole language is like saying that all marketing should be objective. Have you read Predator, McDermott, Kamui or Lucasis marketing stuff (There are lot`s of others to choose from, I just picked some of the ones that I remembered right now...) It`s got atleast the same amount of hyperbole and vague claims.
