It's just that I can't tell you the times I've heard players who can't play a lick critiquing how a cue plays.
Kind of silly when you ponder it.
Kind of like the APA-3 players with LD shafts and fancy cues. Without an LD shaft they couldn't make a ball. With an LD, they still can't make a ball.
The "hit" of a cue doesn't mean you "hit" the cue ball with the cue.
