John Barton said:This is not true. At a recent show I was next to a Lucasi dealer and we selected ten cues at random including the sneaky pete to compare. 10 of mine were from Kao Kao and the Lucasi/Players were from Hamson. The Fury/Sterling (only brands I had) were about the same or superior to the equivalently priced cues from Hamson.
As a result I picked up a nice $3000 order from that dealer who also happens to be a cuemaker.
It will be rough going to establish a line of cues in the USA that are from Asia in the $200 plus range.
Cue and Case did it with 10 years worth of double full page ads, and dedicated salespeople on the road.
If you are willing to provide the sort of investment that Jim Lucas put into establishing the Lucasi brand then you have a shot.
can you tell me the story how Jim Lucasi invested in this line?i am not familar with it,it's strange why cue and case has no website,they work with Adan,so the quality is better than other makers in china,we can be same quality on the decal cues,but their inlay is the best.
