I also agree with IQUE.

The problem may not be with the quality of the brisket as using better quality does not necessarily mean an improvement in scores. It took me almost four years in competition to finally get a handle on the brisket category. I used RD "Angus" for most of that time. Once I improved my technique, my scores started coming up. Only after I was comfortable with my new found technique and started getting calls on a regular basis did I move up in the quality of briskets I use.
