Is there a benefit to a good cheap cue in terms of less mental pressure on each shot? I.e consciously or subconsciously not trying to prove to yourself (not to others) the cue was worth the money?
I recently picked up a £30 cue and made a 97 break in practice with it. I have more confidence in it now than my more expensive £650 cue. The length is slightly shorter on the cheaper cue, but apart from that I’m wondering the reasons for it apart from the above. I made three 90+ practice breaks with the cheaper cue, so it wasn’t a fluke as per say.
Perhaps the real thing here is there is no real difference between expensive and cheaper cues. And there is less technology possible to be involved in snooker cues than golf clubs for example
