weapon of choice

English term or phrase: weapon of choice
The xxx model (è una scarpa) is the weapon of choice for masters of touch Cesc Fabregas, Carlos Tevez and Andrea Pirlo. At the highest level, it’s the lightest boot, the softest leather and the strongest support that gives leading players their winning edge.

Il senso lo capisco, ma come posso rendere efficacemente in italiano "weapon of choice"? Grazie per eventuali suggerimenti

fiore all'occhiello


Explanation:
Forse l'espressione va interpretata pertanto ho avanzato la proposta di "fiore all'occhiello" (di registro più alto rispetto a pezzo forte, la prima traduzione venutami in mente)
