Which cue company gives the most back to our sport?
- Thread starter travislj
- Start date
Predator, Cuetec and Mezz imo.
I think it’s Predator by a long shot. They sponsor almost every single event in some capacity. They sponsor a ton of pros in some capacity.
I can’t understand all their haters. They do have a product that squirts less. It’s not a marketing myth. And they pump lots of money and interest into our sport.

Financially? Time? Promotion? I know Danny Janes and JOSS have been promoting the game a long time. They've been involved with Zuglan's tour almost since it started. Viking has also been a pretty big promoter as well over the years.
Has to be Pechauer. While Predator may be bigger, Pechauer does more with less.
When you consider the proportional contribution based on the size of the business, as well as the length of time involved, it's hard not to mention Joss.
Pechauer and Viking also contribute. Numerous do.
The way the question is posed, the knee jerk reaction will most often be Predator. But I don't think it is that simple.
the way the op's question is phrased it's current tense and does not specify anything about proportion to business size, duration, etc, so the answer, I believe, by a country mile would have to be Predator.
If it were historically, Brunswick might be the one.

Second the motion... Joss. And that includes Joss West. Bill Stroud has done TONS for the game as a whole over the past 50 years plus. Simply more behind the scenes than Dan or others. Meucci should be mentioned as well.
Does AccuStats count? They do a lot of stuff locally for the tri state area. And when they do a big event they do it very well.
I think Pat designed the first jump cue. I believe it was a 58” cue but the back portion of the butt was made out of balsa wood to make it light. A sneaky Pataccu-stats cues?
Obviously predator & mezz has more money available for promotion than most. As far as percentage of annual profits who would you say puts the most back? I would still think predator, mezz & pechauer would be near the top. On the other hand what companies would you say don't put much back into supporting our sport? Schon? Lucasi? Etc?
