Gamosity's Latest Venture, Laser Q, Debuts as High Tech Products Enter the World of Pool And Snooker
LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga., Mar 15, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Brandmakers'
(http://www.brandmakers.com ) games and vending division, Gamosity, introduces
the Laser Q. The Laser Q is a custom designed pool cue intended to help players
of all levels sharpen their skills. Gamosity will unveil the Laser Q product
today on its new e-commerce website, (http://www.laserQ.com ).
Brandmakers has devoted 18 months of research and development to the Laser Q
project. The patent pending Laser Q is being manufactured exclusively by
Brandmakers. Gamosity Managing Director, Bob Palmquist, says, "The idea is so
simple, but dramatically effective. We truly believe the world of pool and
snooker will never be the same."
The cue has a laser beam built into it and projects a small red dot from a hole
in the tip onto the cue ball. A unique impact switch is embedded in the lower
end of the shaft and activates the laser diode when the butt of the cue is
tapped on the floor. When a player sights along the cue, the pin point laser
beam shows exactly where their cue should strike. Players will improve their
forward spin, draw and different types of english for positioning and shot
making. Mirrors may be used to show various angles for bank shots. Made of
fiberglass and graphite composite materials, the cue is warp resistant.
Retail priced at $185.00, the Laser Q comes with a rounded carrying case with a
pouch and straps, a training video and tip cleaner. Gamosity utilized the
talents of Splash Studios, Brandmakers' New Media and Design division, to design
the artwork for the cue and collateral marketing pieces, due for release in May,
2000.
"Our objective for the fiscal year starting July 1, 2000, is for sales to reach
$8 to $12 million based on an average wholesale price of $120.00 each for orders
of 100,000. We are expanding our distribution network to include Canada and
Europe as well as the United States," adds Palmquist. The initial order for the
patent pending cue has been placed, with the May shipment already sold out, and
orders currently being placed for June.
Brandmakers' CEO, Geoff Williams, says, "We're excited about expanding our
product line by introducing technology into a traditional game environment.
We've engineered a high-tech product with a potential market made up of every
pool player in the world."
