New Lucasi Hybrid Cues?

They look kind of ridiculous. Instead of Lucasi improving upon thier product, they end up doing this.

Trying to make it look like a golf club... unbelievable.
 
LOL

I want to play with one of these just one time....
Take it into a new pool room, and talk it up like its the best cue ever,.,,

I bet I get Action!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROFL
 
I like it. Not for me but the idea.

Finally a 'modern' looking take on a cue that's more or less technology based .

Not everyone currently outside the sport thinks a nice end table would make a good cue. :D This might be for them. ;)
 
at first I thought it looked a lil stupid, then I got lookin at it somemore it does have modern cool looking style to it and it will definately not appeal to everyone but to some it will be the best thing goin. Bet anything you start seeing these so up in pool league....
Not for me though
 
Hybrid....a mix between two pool cues, a pool cue and a golf club, a pool cue and a tennis racket. Hybrid...a marketing catch phrase to make a product sound eco friendly and technologically up to date. I hope people have fun with these but I don't see one in my hybrid future.
 
CHECK OUT THAT WRAP!! I think it is a WINN grip!! :eek: Going to put one of those on my cue (be like a 15th club)
 
Not a bad price really , comes with a low deflection radially laminated wood shaft.

Who da thunk someone would start knocking that off and importing it for peanuts. :rolleyes:

Well, before you really get into it, you have to understand Lucasi's market. Their cues are intended for first time buyers and frankly, they make very attractive cues that play surprisingly well for a good price. They are not my cue of choice to play with but I'm comfortable playing with them.

I saw their hybrid and I think there WILL be a market for it. I doubt that market will be in a poolroom since most people who frequent poolhalls will go with more traditional looking cues. I see it being more of a bar league cue than anything else like those graphite cues.
 
I really want to meet the marketing team for Lucasi. They make it sound like a player playing with the new cue, will have to give Efren the 5.

Memory foam in the grip?

where do they get the 27% more shock absorbing?

(I love this line) "state-of-the-art technology for the most accurate playing cue" LOL

talk about trying to sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman wearing white gloves.

theres a dude in my league that has one of those.........He swears by it......... Ugly as sin.................Lost most to all Lucasi POS!!!!!!
 
I'm not sure about that new cue, but I have the LE-27 Lucasi with the radial lam shaft and it plays BETTER than my predator did...hence the sale of the predator.

My last 14.1 event I ran 69 with that POS Lucasi....:rolleyes:

BTW...anyone know who makes Predator cues FOR predator (except installing the tip and ferrule)......? anyone

Lucasi maybe...

Well the P2s are made here , LEs of course by 'other' (openly disclosed) and everything else comes from China so it's quite possible alot of stuff comes from the same factories.
 
Not my style at all... would get about 3 steps up if they'd just lose the Hybrid lettering though. Assuming it plays well.... but for me personally, I'm more a classic styling kinda guy.

Kudos!! .
 
I think the Lucasi Hybrid cues are pretty interesting from a marketing point of view. They are clearly going after a new market. It isn't such a bad idea, considering that cue sales are down this year. The golf club market dwarfs the pool cue market. New technology is constantly being introduced and hyped and many golfers consistenty go after what is new and exciting.

Although I personally would not consider a Lucasi Hybrid because it does not match my style what-so-ever, I do understand what they are trying to accomplish. As a cue dealer, I have a lot of insight into what players look for, and I must say, AZ members only represent a fraction of the cue industry. It just so happens that AZ members represent the part of the cue industry I like best.

The best advice I ever received when I started my business was, "if you only carry what you like, you'll have a great collection," meaning, that what you like is only a small percentage of what sells.

The Lucasi Hybrid Cues appeal to customers who are looking for something new and are looking for a technological edge (marketing is huge here as we all know!). With that said, the Lucasi Hybrid is a good value if it matches your style. It has an 8-piece laminated shaft with a low deflection ferrule and a lifetime warrantee against defects and warpage. That's not bad for a $208 cue. I am curious to see how well they sell.

Predator is going after the same market with their new Poison Cues that are being released later this month:

I expect the Poison cues to be very popular; though they are not likely to be as popular on AZ members who prefer traditional designs.

I personally think that Lucasi makes an excellent cue for the money, which is why I chose them for some of my designs.

I do not know of any other manufacturer who can make these cues with such good quality for anywhere near the price.

Just my $.02
 
I went to a tourney out of town this last weekend and a friend had one that he wanted me to shot a few shots with

Jake's Lucasi Hybrid review

Hit- Shitty, dead predator-like hit

Grip- Took me a second to realize that I wasn't playing racquetball

Balance- not too bad, a tad rear balanced for me

overall feel- Meh :rolleyes:
 
personally, i like it. it's got low deflection, i love the wrap in spite of how untraditional it is! weight distribution is pretty nice... only thing i don't like about it is... it looks completely ridiculous... might not be able to put as much english on it as you like too. i'd say it's well worth the money... i don't have one but i have a friend who got it last week and i've hit with it a few times...
