big new Cuetec product coming soon? anybody have the scoop?

[smiling_Hans]

That the way he is

Over/under on how many usernames the tool has ha d is 4.

Under. Let’s bet $500. You and I.

I know Mike he can vouch but we know you are all talk. Mike actually changed my name per my request.

So I’m officially accepting a $500 bet. Goes to a charity of my choice. I choose boys and girls club.

Everyone will see you are a coward.

Don’t offer anything you can’t back.

I will only buy it if Shane starts to use it.

Full carbon cue is what’s being posted on Facebook, same shaft from what I understand.

So like the new rhino ones but uglier? fantastic....

I appreciate what cuetec has done. They really were considered a cheap cue that wasn’t being used any more or even considered by good players and they’ve completely changed their image.

That being said the whole cue is fine until you get to whatever that is they did at the but cap..that to me is ugly. But I’m sure they will sell a ton.

the same design is on the butt collar and but cap... Even the grip is ugly...

The only thing that stopped me from getting a cue was I'd want a wrap. Finally someone did it

Yeah, hats off to Cuetec. Seriously, 25 years ago Cuetec was seen as a "bad" cue. Their marketing team and actual development team has done a remarkable job. Other manufacturers have either taken a step back or have completely disappeared from the limelight. Lucasi was the up and comer who sponsored multiple tours and players, but now aren't even mentioned anywhere. OB ran themselves into the ground. Schon imo has priced themselves out of the market. Fantastic cues but it seems they are stuck in the past. Mezz has also disappeared at least here in the US. I guess pool participation has increased globally and other manufacturers have focused there, but the market has really narrowed in the US.

Cuetec and Predator are the 2 manufacturers that have consistently been active marketing and developing new products globally and here. I know people will probably say it's all marketing, but that's business 101. It shows and I personally would rather spend my cash on companies I know are active and who are supporting the players. Don't get me wrong, Mcdermott and Viking are also in the mix and have been pumping out fantastic products.

The fotoflame looks good. They botched the rest of it.

 

[Zerksies]

If they could get a carbon cue that looked like a traditional cue I'd be all over it. Four point cue with a wrap would be nice. Even if it's paint

you mean like that? https://rhino-billiards.com/products/rhino-retro-pool-cue-bocote-lwp That's why I mentioned Rhino earlier, cuetec is a little bit too late if they come with a full carbon cue.
Also Go Custom sell full carbon with wrap from a long time like garzcar wrote too.

Late? Late to be first, only.

With the resources it has, cuetec can muscle itself right on into that market.

Agree. CT is far more known/established globally than either Rhino or Go. they have dealers/distrib. everywhere.

 

[SSP]

Yeah, and they are cool, but that is just one smaller niche brand. When Cuetec and Predator start making them then we'll know carbon tech gen 2 is upon us.

Revo has been out for a while now too....I'm expecting a Revo v2 one of these days.

And while I'm interested to see it happen and recently got an all carbon Predator setup earlier this year.....tonight I think I'm taking my wood cues and leather case to league...go figure, haha.

BeCue is a tech company who specialize in CF, they happen to be pool players who wanted to bring that Technology to pool, they may not be the biggest company but if you haven't tried one you should.

I was fortunate enough to try one when they first made them. A friend of mine bought one and had a horrible experience with them. It was one of their first generation series. He was so excited about the cue and he let me play with it. He wanted my thoughts about it.

I had the pleasure of competing with it in a tournament and it lost me a match. I'm not sure if their shafts are still finished with some sort of a white finish. It caused friction on my bridge hand and caused me to miscue on a crucial shot. BeCue should be called MisCue. LOL

Not sure how the new ones are because that was several years ago.

Are they still painting their shafts or applying that stupid white finish?

No finish on them now, I love mine . be careful, I might have to start calling you major miscue !!!!!!!!!!!

That was my only issue with them. The finish on the shaft.

I googled them and looks like their cues are completely different than their initial one.

Exactly. I feel predator and cuetec looked at golf club manufacturers and how they are constantly changing equipment and modeled it after them.

 

[ak1975]

I’d be interested in a full carbon cue, when predator makes it.
