Seems to me that both Trap and pool demand a lot of time spent in order to get proficient. Progress can be maddeningly slow...baby steps forward with giant steps back when you mess up on one part of technique.

I love my Keith Josey custom cue...but I also know that Shane Van Boening with his cheap cuetec production cue would kick my ass because he's currently ranked as #1 in the world. By golly, if I was paid as much as Shane is to do so, I'd play with a cuetec too.

So, I do believe the same advice applies here...buy one that feels good to you, then invest in time at the trap range.
One of the stories I always loved was Lee Trevino in his early days would look for player with top of the line expensive clubs. Lee would walk up with a single coke bottle and ask if he can play them for money. He would leave with all their money just using a coke bottle.

OK back to nice shotguns and pool cues.......
