I wonder why these guys are not playing with sponsor cues?
Their country must be supporting them enough where they don't need the extra income from a sponsor? Its crazy to play with a custom SW or any other custom cue as a top 10 professional, when any production company would likely throw tens of thousands at them.
We know from the most successful players, that the cue makes no difference. Earl, Archer, Alison, Shane, etc. all played with $100 cues at their peak play.
Someone needs to wise these Taiwanese guys up. If they would just read on AZ
they would know that once they become pros they no longer need a cue that feels
and plays the way the want. They can now play just the same with anything, house
cue, $9.99 Wallmart, etc. doesn't matter. And here's the really good part, If they aren't
sponsored by a production cue maker which only a few are, CUSTOM cue makers
pay them to use their cues. But wait it gets even better. They don't have to promote
the cue in any way and the only way anyone knows what it is if not easily reconized
is go up and ask them or we guess it on here. And they don't have to play with it
for any length of time either, they just switch when another custom cue maker pays
them more, I think this is the reason custom cues cost so much and take so long
to get. All of them paying all that money and cues to the pros and getting nothing
in return and the cost is passed on to us. The pros also play equally well with any-
thing. I have read many times how the run out with broom, handles, mop handles,
ax handles, handle bars, makes no difference to them. It's the Indian not the arrow.
