I have to laugh at some of the comments here. Let's put it another way. If you start playing with a cantered wrist, a chicken wing elbow and a sidestroke, you may become an AWESOME player. Will you become your best? NO!!!!!
Why do we know this? Because almost all players who have developed strokes like that became mediocre at best, while the vast majority of the BEST players have developed using the same formula.
So it may be a better question to ask, what are the majority of the best players playing with? But even that isn't a true representation, because what did they grow up playing with, what was available when they learned how to play, are they being paid/sponsored to play with something, etc.
Knowing what works best for the/a top player/s (when they have the choice, i.e. outside of their sponsorships) is a great way to determine what you might be better off using and new technology will come out that CAN help your game.
To dismiss that as indian/arrow is nothing more than another form of appeal to authority fallacy, i.e. you want an excuse for any plateaus YOU have so it must be the indian.
Newsflash, it IS the indian, but the BEST indian in the world trained by Robin Hood isn't going to have as good a chance taking down a buffalo with a crooked stick with no fletches and a stone tip as with a carbon fiber shafted, nylon fletched, titanium broadheaded arrow.
So REALLY, indian/arrow, is a HORRIBLE illustration. if you're point is that the best people at something can play their best with anything.
