Thank you everyone for the overwhelming response.
I just got off the phone with Charlie, and he told me he liked to see a name which mentions his name or his nick name. So far, his favorite is the hillybilly, the Billy Stick and Billy Club.
Please bear in mind that this contest has just begun, and there are so many nice entries since yesterday. Charlie has not gone through all the names yet. I and Charlie will both make the final decision.
Charlie also wants to thank everyone for helping out with a good name. He is very excited to see over 2000 clicks in only two days.
I like a lot of the names, and I have taken note of all of them. I will discuss with Charlie when the contest is over. Personally, I think Charlie's ACE is very neat. I also like Big Bang, X Class, CBX, Ballistic, and X Factor.
We have decided to give a bit more background of this line of X Breaker here to help the contestants to come up with the perfect name.
This line of cues will be a limited edition line, with only about 100 built in a year. They will be marketed in the US but also overseas. We have a lot of demand from Japan, and a lot of interest from Europe. I personally would like to sell most of this line to US customers, but it will be built on a first order first built basis. So, I would suggest US customers to place their order early.
Other than contacting me directly to place an order, interested party can also place their orders directly with Charlie.
Charlie can be reached at all the major tournaments and the IPT. This way, customers can also have the opportunity to have a picture taken with Charlie with the cue, and have an autograph.
If time permits, Charlie will be more than willing to give some breaking and jumping pointers to the buyer as well. Charlie wants his customers to enjoy the experience of being able to buy his X Breaker directly from him; he wants his customers to be completely satisfied.
This line of Charlie's X Breaker will be identical to the X Breaker custom built for Charlie Byrant. The purpleheart forearm was designed to offer a very stiff hit, the coring greatly reduces sideway vibration, while enhancing the transmition of axial feedback down the center of the cue. Coring also allows us to prevent warpage, and to have a more consistent balance.
When Charlie first tried his X Breaker, his first respond was, "wow, the cue ball does not hop!!!" (those are his own words.
)
Charlie's own X Breaker is very heavy, it is over 20oz. Since purpleheart and bloodwood are both heavier/stiffer wood as compared to maple, even after the coring, the cue would feel a bit more backward balanced. It is because Charlie likes a heavier cue with more weight in his grip hand.
If you think you have a great stroke and you want to experience the hill billy break, this is the cue to get.
Basically, I believe that is all that we would like to cover for now. I hope you will find the above information helpful.
I am very grateful for a lot of wonderful marketing ideas. There are a lot of great ideas! I cannot believe how creative, intelligent, and original the members here are!
Please keep the wonderful ideas coming, they are greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Richard

Well my FINAL contribution is the "HILLBILLY GTO" or "BILLY GTO" or commonly referred to as the "BILLY GOAT"
If you recall one of the original american Muscle cars was the Pontiac GTO. One of the foreign luxuxy sports cars is the Ferrari GTO. As we know the Pontiac is commonly called the GOAT. Hence what's more fitting than the Billy Goat OR Billy GTO.
This has both the elegant and refined covered as well as the muscle/power. We have speed covered as well. I believe this covers the requirements listed by Richard for this line of cues.
What does "GTO" mean anyway? GTO is an acronym for "Gran Turismo Omologato." It's Italian for "Homologated Grand Touring." It sorta means this hot car has been "FIA certified" with special parts being made available to the public. Pontiac stole the name from Ferrari who had the "original" GTO name for its own car. This angered Ferrari and others in the automotive community.

Hmmmmm
1. Control
2. Power
3. Something to do with the word "Hillbilly"
4. Plus emphasize Charlie's great play.
I can't figure out how to include all this in one word. But I think I've thought of something that might include all of that in with just a few words.
'Hillbilly's Daniel Boone X Breaker'
'Charlie's Daniel Boone X Breaker'
'Bryant's Daniel Boone X Breaker'
'Hillbilly Boone X Breaker'
'Daniel Boone X Breaker'
Daniel Boone was known as a strong man. Daniel Boone's sharp shooting ability can emphasize control and emphasize Charlie's shooting ability.
After thought. What was the name of the movie about the WWI hero? Can't think of it right now, but during the movie he is at a tree with 'DB kild a bare here' or something like that carved in the tree. Maybe the name of the cue could somehow look like it was carved on the stick.
Oh yea 'Sergeant York'
