ATROX cue tool, product review..(long)

I just got an email with a recommendation for Megan Minerich and Danny Harriman. Any thoughts on them? I already have a previous suggestion for Danny.
 
Hi there. Wondering if you have any Canadian dealers for your tool? Also are you only looking for American Players as Tyler Edey from Calgary is faring extremely well as of late. thank you in advance. Sean

Tablesportscanada.com has our entire product line. We have two distributors for the dealers in Canada as of now. We also just picked up a dealer in the UK so the ATROX TOOL and other Diamondback Products are going to Europe!

Stevie Moore, Danny Harriman and Sarah Rousey are likely to be contacted soon. Im getting constant remarks from my fellow workers here that we should give them first bidding.

Danny Harriman is a fairly regular poster here on AZbilliards. Click on the link below:
http://forums.azbilliards.com/member.php?u=3799
Then click on All posts by Danny Harriman and read to your hearts content.

Danny is a helpful professional and his posts are generous and contain lots of good information about techniques that he uses. Danny is friendly and dangerous to any opponent who faces off with him in tournament play or other. Danny is probably known as a better all around player and is probably a little more established in the billiard community than Stevie Moore but Stevie is a little younger and coming on strong. Those two guys would represent your company and products very well. Neither of them carry any negative baggage that I know of.

Danny already has a lot of the crotalus atrox in him for sure. (googled it up) Nice branding BTW.

Both have good personalities, play REAL WELL and would be a good investment for the long run.

You raise an interesting point. I can't help but wonder if, since the manufacturer advertises this use for the Atrox tool, wouldn't propping your bridge hand with it be legal, since it is being used as intended?

What would Bob Jewett say?

Good Rolls,

Upon reviewing the rules, specifically WPA rule 1.4, such a prop is not included on the list of equipment allowable at the table. (cue stick, chalk, mechanical bridge, talcum powder, gloves)

Good Rolls,

I would also like to see Danny H in your final selection. I had a chance to spend some time with Danny this January, and he is probably one of the best spokespeople for the game. Very quiet, but deadly!! He is very articulate, and handled himself very well when put in front of the press with no advance warning!! But I had to do it to him!!

He also spent much time with some of the league players at the event, and taught many on the insight of banking!! You would not go wrong in choosing Danny Harriman as one of your player reps...

Any other info on these two? Acheivments?

Stevie Moore is leading the pack here in AZ. Im getting positive response inside here at DIAMONDBACK about possibly Anna that was suggested earlier. Does anyone in here know these people? How are they as a person? I practically can build a perfect resume so far with Stevie Moore based on what info I got so far. We are very serious about listening to the players here in AZ about recommendations. So who we choose will be someone that was suggested here. You see, our philosophy is this: not a single billiard company, league, dealer, manufacturer would exist if it wasn't for the players. Players who love this sport. So listening to them is key to any company's success which in turn promotes and helps the sport grow.

You really need to add John Schmidt to your short list for prime consideration. I went brain dead not mentioning him.

Our next endevour is to poll everyone here what up and coming powerful
player(s) that we can sponsor. Someone who is intimidating and has a Killer Stroke. We are impressed with Billy Palmer. We believe there's a new wave of pros that are about to sweep in and take the pro level by storm.
Male and Female alike. So any suggestions who you would like to see get some recognition. Give us the name and tell us why.
Thanks, David

I suggest Steve Moore from the Atlanta area and Shawn Putnam from the Ohio region.

Absolutely John Schmidt. Great image, talks well and a top player with name recognition.

John Schmidt is a wonderful suggestion. Why in the world hasn't anyone sponsored him yet? This guy won the US Open. Then you have Danny Harriman, Stevie Moore, Sarah Rousey. There are people out there like this that deserve sponsorship, even if its a reward. We're gonna do something to remedy this.
 
Mr Collier you mentioned that you have picked up a supplier in the u.k, do you mind me asking who that particular dealer is and when they might be supplying your product. thank you.

So far it's trickypool in the UK. We set up an account per their request and we are awaiting their order.
They requested dealership this past Thursday evening. So it should be soon they will have our product line.

Hope this helps.

Any others agree with John Schmidt suggestion? What state does he live in?

John Schmidt is definitely one of the best in the country, and from what I've read and heard he is a class act. The only thing that would negatively affect his marketability, IMHO, is the fact that he doesn't have the prettiest stroke in the world, thus his game is not as attractive to look at as some others, such as Corey or even Stevie.

Does John Schmidt use a glove to shoot? Some of the time all of the time?

John uses the glove ALL OF THE TIME, even in practice.

He was at the Starcades Billiards Tournament in Fort Walton BeachFlorida this weekend and was wearing a glove as usual.

To show you what kind of sport John is: He had Tony Crosby the British champ 7-2 in a race to 9 playing 9 ball and Tony somehow combing some great runouts with a couple of lucky rolls came back to beat John Schmidt.

After congratulating and shaking hands with Tony right after the match, John was seen minutes later over by the tournament board, chatting with Tony Crosby talking shop and being his usual, friendly self in spite of a very tough loss.

That's interesting what you said about his stroke not being the prettiest stroke in the world. John can do some incredible things with his stroke and I hear people remark all of the time about how "pretty" his stroke is.

Under difficult situations his ability to achieve seriously difficult shape and still pocket the ball is nothing short of miraculous. It is stroke that gets him in line and keeps him in line and I would be interested in knowing how many times you have seen John Schmidt play in person. Video and television is OK but when you get up close and personal, any imperfections are readily apparent. I just don't see what you see but am willing to listen.
Thanks,
