Thrilling pics of your original and NEW and IMPROVED 2nd generation X-BREAKERS

Marketing and Sales hyperbole applicable to X-BREAKERS and X playing cues

Testimonials from all buyers who are using and winning because of the "edge" their "X" product provides

Thank you........wanted one source when I was ready to take the plunge!!
 
i have one.breaks decent jumps great.bought brand new.very cheaply made cue.effective but cheap.for $300 the cue should be well made.rings are popping out (alot) at several places on mine.huge overlay at top of shaft and ferrule.would not buy another one.
 
HERE, HERE.

I've never been a huge fan of the X or any break cue, for that matter. There is just something wrong about paying $100-$200-$300 and up on a very cheaply made cue. People need to stop buying into "big business" bullshit. I mean, the only reason any of the professionals play with break cues (ie. predators) is because these companies offer them a small salary. What if Ford were sponsering Effren? Would everybody go out and buy a Ford? It is most definite that people would- whether Ford, or any American automobile maker, makes a decent, affordable, environmental friendly automobile, is a different story.

Point being, If one can't break a rack of 9 or 15 balls that only weigh a few ounces each, then maybe that person should think about playing another sport- a less 'physically exhausting' sport.

There is a thread on the MAIM FORUM filled with MARKETING/SALES hyperbolie applicable to the NEW, REVISED,IMPROVED x-breaker.

I won't respond to it there .

A poster said it was unique......it is, in terms of price.

A few questions if we use the x-breaker:
1) Will you pocket more balls on the break
2)Will you scratch less
3)Will we encounter fewer clusters after the break
4)Will a third edition be launched in a few months eroding the resale potential of the second edition like the second edition WILL effect the original...Instead of rushing to market with the original couldn't MANY of the bugs have been eliminated with R @ D....instead of the illusion of R @ D which is a by product of lip service...or, in this day and age, good KEYBOARD
5)Will the NEW,REVISED,IMPROVED x-breaker propel the qball at greater velocity than the original (or any other cue) using same speed of stroke if not using KPH vs MPH
6)Has anyone been able to propel the cue ball at greater velocity than DAVID HOWARD when he used a MEUCCI
7)Can any claims applicable to x-breaker performance be qualified with quantitative, factual data

This is NOT personel.....I've just gotten weary of the lack of ethics, facts and concern for the CUSTOMER best interests in today's MARKETING/ SALES orientated world. Value is not too much to ask for....

THANKS---I'm just gonna try it!:D
 
I saw one at the DCC. My first thought was how cheap it looked. I've never used one so I have no opinion on the performance.
 
and I still feel he should be buying an ad from Mike for the amount of space he takes up with his Better than, more accurate than, more bullshizit than, cue !!!!

Not quite.

Very few players get a salary. I could count them on one hand and not use all of my fingers. (the men anyway) Most sponsorship that the guys get is called product sponsorship. The sponsor will give them x amount of product per month or yr and the player can then turn around and sell the product.

I don't know of any players that get a salary for using a break cue. The only players that get money from a cue company are the players that they sponsor. Mezz gives Mika free cues and probably a small sum of money but if there are others using Mezz cues, they're not getting money for it.
