Definitely not the cue...hell, people with cheap cues but a higher skill level beat me all the time.
I loved the stories of Lee Trevino going to a golf course and finding a few guys unloading silly expensive golf clubs. He would play against them with nothing but a single Dr. Pepper bottle.

In an early betting gimmick, he would sucker lesser players by offering to play a hole or two using a quart-size glass Dr Pepper bottle instead of a club. The stunt later led to a lucrative advertising contract with Dr Pepper.

It had to really make a duffer boiling mad to get beat using 10 grand of clubs against a guy with a Dr. Pepper bottle worth 2 cents.
