A cue is only a tool, yes there is a significant placebo effect in this thought. I have made over 5k investments in various cues that pressed onto me,,, i better improve my outcome because this is a high dollar cue, and this placebo does drive you internally to improve, primarily thru concentration. And my guilt of what i have spent... but
I have since seperated from investment customs to true technology driven improvements and i think this is the differential that should be considered...
Performance does now lie in production cues and investments may be in customs for their "custom" intent.
I am an engineer of production quality and if controls are in place of this then,,,,, highest quality can be produced.
Example...... Predator and Mezz
But, marketing offers of control of the cue ball improvement hype does slant this...(low deflection) and even now carbon fiber.....
Let's be true, we "good players" could compensate squirt and swerve effects in our decisions back in the 80's with our Meucci's
So...
As golf reaches to the latest driver that will improve your game.... Love what you buy and play the best you can with whatever you believe in....
