Worst Cue by a Revered Builder.

I was surprised to hear that even the greats do shoot a blank here or there. What do you think the reason is? I’m thinking the wood is the answer but I’d leave that to, Eric of Sugartree. I he knows more about wood species than most and he has family in WI because he offered to deliver a cue when he was visiting dear hunting. I didn’t pull the trigger, I’m priced out now.
This post is so confusing.
 
Feel free to ask if my lack of detail distracts my point. I was surprised in another thread how many noted cue builders delivered a dud player. I also do believe Eric at Sugartree is a wood savant. Zylers protege too, I’m drawing a blank.
 
I purchased a big wrap less segmented handle cue from a very well-known Maker. It was flat out beautiful, perfect execution, finish, every single detail of the cue was flawless. It hit like a brick, zero feel, no feedback, I tried 8-10 different tip and ferrule combinations on it to try and like it, but I failed. Someone saw a picture of it, offered crazy money, and I gladly sent it down the road. Brian.
