For something with this high a price of entry I think they really need to give people a chance to try it out and demo one. I emailed them and suggested they do some sort of a passaround here of a cue with a Revo shaft. I've been on golf forums and knife forums where we had passarounds and they were always fun and got new products in the hands of a bunch of users for feedback and it also created a lot of buzz (if the product was good, which is key). They didn't respond to my suggestion...not that I'm surprised by that.
Still, I think it would be a good idea for them, get 10-12 users here with good rep and good standing and each players gets to try it out for a week and then report back.
Anyway...yeah, not many people going to drop $1300 on a cue or $600+ on a shaft with a totally new construction without getting a chance to try one. Wouldn't be so bad if good cue shops were readily available for most people where they'd have these in stock, but that isn't really the case.
