My prediction based on absolutely nothing said on here is that these cues will never be popular or big sellers. Carbon fiber and synthetic cues have been around a long time and never caught on. I've played with a couple and there just is no feel to the hit. They feel clunky and artificial, which they are. Pretty hard to replace the feel of a wood cue. Of course metal tennis rackets replaced wood rackets and golf clubs have followed suit, so I could be wrong here. It wouldn't be the first time.
