Pool Cue News and Review

Well, the crappy economy and the pool and billiards downturn doesn’t seem to be stopping players from getting sponsored.  This weekend there were a couple more announcements of small sponsorship deals.  Vermont state 8-ball and 9-ball champion Dave Fernandez scored a sponsorship from Samsara and Omega Billiards announced the sponsorship of Justin Bergman.  In both cases, we’re likely looking at product and swag sponsorships, but I certainly wouldn’t mind scoring a Samsara cue or a Justis Case!

When you look at these as well as the recent sponsorship announcement of WPBAer Debbie Schjodt, it does look like sponsorships are there for the taking.  The reasons behind each of these sponsorships had very little to do with winning titles and championships.  It seems to be more about finding the right rep that will bring a company notoriety.

Congrats to Dave and Justin on your sponsorships!  Nice to be able to report on some good news for once.
