Only idiots take that saying literally/verbatim. It just summarizes the FACT that talent/skill/desire WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY override equipment. Years ago a friend of mine was headed to a pretty big regional event and his cue(runde Schon. he did finally get it back btw) got stolen the night before he left. With a BORROWED sneaky he'd never hit a ball with he went and came in second. Folks having a nice wand is great but its importance is often grossly overrated. NO ONE on here will ever play even remotely like Fedor regardless of what cue/shaft/tip/chalk/glove you use.

My understanding of the draw to Brazilian Rosewood is that it's considered to be one of the best tone woods. It's incredibly popular for guitar backs and other musical instruments. The figured pieces are also quite beautiful, so that's not nothing.

yet for 20yrs the same lame topic keeps getting re-hashed. how's this: 'its the player and not the cue'??? feel better now? cue/shaft co's make their living off people thinking they can buy a game, same as golf equip makers. As soon as Scheffler switched to that TM mallet putter the whole world had to have one and they still can't break 100(or get to 500FR in pool).
