Does a good cue make the player or does a good player make the cue?

i know real good player other than owning a snooker cue, has never owned a "pool" cue in his life, just plays with one piece dufferin rack cues with conical tapers and lepro tips.
i like the stories he tells of him going down to Vegas for the VNEA for the first time and everyone was laughing at him and his two rack cues taped together.....at least until they saw him play
The Player
The player makes the cue period. I can't believe that there is any doubt to this fact. We have a couple players to look to to prove this. Earl, Alisson, and now Shane all have played with Cuetec Cues. Most of us would never consider buying one for our regular player. I have watched Mark Tadd running out from everywhere with a budwieser cue. If the cue is straight and has a decent tip on it, you can adjust to the cue and therefore play well with it.

HE still learned the game with a good or decent cue...
You take a good snooker player and give him crap cue and he can play pool. You're still starting with someone who already knows how to play the game...

Out of HOW many good players...
Ok, but Efren is an enigma trapped inside of a riddle trapped inside of a Chinese puzzle box.... He don't COUNT@@@@
j.k.
It's more Indian than anything, but why hinder yourself with crappy equipment????

Truly, you're better off sticking with one cue than anything...
So long as you have a straight cue, you are better off sticking with it. Your experience works better for you, the fewer variables you introduce.
This game is probably 60% natural talent, 20% experience/knowledge and 10% equipment...
Jaden
p.s. you can probably trade off a little bit between the first and the second and still be in the right ballpark...
p.p.s I don't know about any of you, but 10% of MY game will often mean the difference between winning and losing... just saying

I agree with Jaden, losing 10% of your game will mean losing instead of winning.
1 miscue by crappy equipment, or not rolling 2" after the shot to get that pinpoint shape can cost you a match. Why do you want to chance it?
I know several players that their game went up soon after getting a custom cue.
