2005 - The Birth of the EBR 501

In 2005, Isomoto created the EBR 501 specifically for legendary player Efren Bata Reyes to match his unique playing style.

This marked the birth of the EBR brand and established the philosophy of creating high-performance, custom-designed cues for professional players.

2012 - What is the Ultimate Cue?

Through trial and error, Isomoto discovered the ultimate cue that would maximize Efren's performance. However, the technology to consistently produce this cue was lacking.

2018 - Upgrade to the EBR 502

Innovative technology in cue construction led the EBR team to redesign the cue and develop the EBR 502, which improved stability and consistency.

This milestone laid the foundation for standardized craftsmanship at EBR.

2019 - A Breakthrough with the EBR 901

In pursuit of the ultimate in feel and performance, the EBR 901 was introduced to Efren. This cue offered breakthroughs in accuracy and power transfer, representing the pinnacle of master-level craftsmanship and earning widespread recognition in the professional billiards world.

2023: A New Challenge

The EBR team proposed a carbon shaft to Efren. However, he remained committed to wooden shafts.

2025: A New Era and Legacy

EBR integrated its development capabilities and revamped its brand.

Elite Series: After proposing a carbon shaft to Efren and conducting repeated testing, Efren proposed and developed a cue that combined high performance with affordability, specifically designed for developing young players.

Pro Series Upgrade: A carbon tube structure maximizes Efren s performance. Mass production is now possible while maintaining high quality, making professional-grade cues accessible to more players.

In 2025, EBR evolved from a masters-only brand into a forward-thinking company committed to the dual missions of tradition and accessibility.
