Predator vs "Championship" cue question

I have a Predator 314 that I bought back around 1995,I guess. Played with it since then.
I bought (for three dollars) a "Championship" cheap cue at a yard sale the other day just to break with.
I put an Elk Master tip on it (I like the 'soft' hit of the Elk Master and always have) and started hitting balls with it. I was flabbergasted.
For some reason, unknown to me, this piece of cheap junk gets a better hit and is playing MUCH better than that first class Predator I've had for years.
I took the "Championship" cue out for the acid test at a cheap local 8-ball tournament last night and never missed a called ball in 8 games.
Makes absolutely no sense to me.
Can someone offer an opinion on how this can be?
Thanks in advance.
