Until you play with a variety of cues, it is challenging to understand there is a difference in pool cues.
Think of it this way. It isn’t necessarily the cook making the meal but rather the recipe that is followed.
Can you appreciate that as an example that applies to cue makers as well? If you locate a cue that you
thinks feels the best, lets you achieve you the best cue ball control for the variety of shots you encounter
in a match, then any cue built to those specs will play better than other cues you might have. The specs
are more important than the cue maker making the cue unless the person did questionable workmanship.
Follow the recipe and the meal turns out great. Change it and the results are different, not necessarily better.
Build a cue to the specs you like the best. If you don’t know, take the time to find out. A cue built to those
specs in a SP or fancy design will just overall play better. The price of a cue is unimportant to how it plays.
