BK Rush

Not sure if I am following you correctly but I checked Predator's top 5 authorized dealers in the first hour of the release and none of them had even the product listing page except Seybert's who probably created the page just for search engine traffic. 99% sure they never had any stock.

I keep saying resellers, but what I mean is scalpers.

I saw when Seybert's added the new green cues to their website, probably within 10 minutes of when they were added. They were immediately sold out.

I do love my BK Rush. However, my buddy has the new Bull Carbon Break Cue and it hits 'em every bit as good as my Predator and it's $200 cheaper.

they have no product to sell. How is that smart?

Consumer market buys the product like hot cakes, fawning over an average product that hasn't changed anything but colour for years and years... Makes their product look like the pinnacle of BrEaKiNg TeChNoLoGy, when there's tons of cues that will get the job done. It's smart because they make money from the audience they have locked in. You talk to this audience about anything pool related, and you will feel your own brain cells committing suicide...

I'll be happy to match up brain cells with just about anybody. I'm a McDermott guy from way back, but my recent Predator acquisition is a magnificent cue as well. The Predator pros, Biado, Filler, Jasmin, et al, they do pretty well.

Why so much snarky hate for a company that puts so much into the game? Because they are so successful? You can make fun of the logos, the pricing strategy, the marketing, whatever, but Predator is good for pool.

Do they put so much into the game, or do they manipulate the game into a specific direction and put in enough to ensure that happens? (guess any money is good money given the state of the game currently, I cannot disagree there tbh). I can't fault the sales strategy, but that's what it is. They aren't revolutionizing anything, and they fund their own future by 'caring' for the game. Honestly, I tend to dislike anything that removes freedom of expression from the things I enjoy...

I also cannot tolerate the fanboys/girls who hoover up nonsense tech jargon, and then vomit it all over anyone who will listen..

"MiNe iS bEtTeR tHaN yOuRs... because it's got low-defelection, super ionized mega-carbon, and an expensive upgraded mega titanium extension and a bala bala bala bala bala... Also, the player that wins a lot says it's the best thing since sliced bread and he wouldn't win if he didn't use this exact brand and it has nothing to do with the dollars they're paid to use it"

Let my coffee kick in, and I will stop being so bitter lol - I do highly rate the Air Rush as I have mentioned previously on a few occasions - though now some competitors are going toe for toe in a similar price bracket. Some just under. All other products are simply 'meh' - BKRush could be a tenth of the price in all honesty, and there is product for a tenth of the price that will do the same thing.
