most pros in all sports endorse and play with what they get paid the most from a sponsor.
just because a pro uses something that doesnt mean a less player will benefit. it may even hurt them. in golf most of the advances have come from the balls.
in pool the equipment is better from the cloth and balls.
the standard pool cue has survived and the records it has made havent been broken despite the improvement in players.
using english good players learn to adjust to its idiosyncrasies where weak players dont. so a low deflection shaft may help weaker players until they have to some times use a different cue then they are lost.
i believe its always better to use more standard equipment as you become a better well rounded player.
if you are not gambling then use what makes the game the most fun for you.
