Now, tell me, you have a choice between two S65 AMGs, do you take the one off the showroom floor to drive daily, or do you send the showroom car to Louis Vitton for upholstry, a jewler for diamond uncrusted guages, and platinum trim throughout?? Let's compare Scruggs to the Mercedes....you could get the exact wood in forearm, handle, and butt with the same two (or however many shafts)....one has a gazillion ivory inlays, multiple points and veneers, etc. etc. etc., and the other is the base woods only....there's the comparison I wanna hear folks' opinions on. Cosmetics only differences.....???? Do the cosmetics and the fact that you know the more expensive one cost more give some type of placebo effect that makes you think it plays better than the plain jane??
To some people-yes it does give the placebo effect. Do i think it should make a difference,no. But it's not my thread, i was just giving some perspective from a situation i've witnessed first hand. I have a cue that plays incredible, but am hesitant to take it everywhere. My point was if it makes you feel a certain way, play with the big dog and don't worry about it. But if you have to think about something other than your game, maybe it's not worth it. JMO
