What went wrong?
I do not recall the introduction to the Aluminum pool cue but I see where it is today.
Same with the almighty Titanium cues.
We can throw in the Graphite cues as well.
What other materials were used over the last few hundred years, where are they today?
Looking back thru the history of Brunswick, I see they were making 400,000 cues per year back in the 1890's and production went up to 800,000 per year a few decades later.
Many of the old Brunswick cues are more valuable today than when they were purchased.
Can we say that about ANY other technology from the past? How about them thar Titanium sticks at Wal Mart, yup.
(PS, I love new technology, always have. I would rather go 150mph in a newer car than an older one, yes, it was fun and I do have a photo. When I was a teenager, I spend good money to learn confuser programming in 5 languages. My Cousin helped put the binary code to the size of the atom. Imagine a decimal point with 83 zeros and then a one following it, now enter the code. I have been around and embraced the new all my life, can't wait for the newest and best thing of the future.)
Thanks again, Dave.
