Does the shaft look like its really a JPU??
The badge also looks off to me.
I may be wrong but.........

That's the beauty of the world we live in Wity ........people can chose what they want to spend their money on.

It's a personal thing , just because you wouldn't spend that money on a stick ........doesn't mean that someone else shouldn't .

[Neil Taperell]

Why are they a muppet ?

You have a strange outlook on life .......there is more to worry about than what people want to spend their hard earned on .

[justf]

I think I can see why you weren't allowed back on here for such a long time Wity.
Having good manners and a slight sense of decorum may hold you in good stead.

[ADR147]

Who says I'm worried? and what possibly makes you think I have a strange outlook on life.

I think anyone who buys any Parris cue unless they intend to sell it on at a profit. is an idiot and I find idiots like that who are swayed by bull that xxx is the best are simply funny thus I call them muppets and laugh in their face.

Afterall this is a snooker forum and the information and discussions available therein taught me that Parris cues are nothing special at all, a fact I confirmed for myself when visiting a cuemakers and seeing 5 of them and since then on 4 or five occasions over the next 6 years actually played with Parris cues.

Have you not seen for example the questions that members have proposed to be asked to John Parris ? One or two are serious questions, the rest are posted taking the p out of the guy. So I therefore contend that my strange outlook on life is in fact quite normal.

Jeeze Neil what's you problem? You've been on the TSF nearly 7 years, your a moderator with what 5,300+ posts and you've learnt what?

Of course I can guess the answer.. you own a Parris cue don't you?

He has a TW cue - and it is splendid!

[Rob153]

Justf .. Betcha was pleased with my sod it I'm out of here bit eh?

Of course you was, as I had a look at some of your posts and discovered you said you have had 20- 25 Parris cues.

I forgot just how many folks there are on TSF who still cant get it into their heads that Parris is very good at what he does... Ensuring his orderbook is full so he can charge what he likes to muppetts.

Carry on goading me slagging me off trolling me whatever guys. I'm staying.

Don't think anyone is 'Goading' as you put it, people prob don't like the continued use of the word muppets, everyone is entitled to their opinion as are you. Haven't got a clue what cue you use, but would you like to be labelled a muppet for buying one? And before you ask I don't use a Parris

[Rob153]

Rob... Okay point taken I will cease using the word muppet (unless it just slips out without me thinking first) Punter seems to be a better alternative.

My cue/cues ? Look out for a separate thread when I get round to it soon. For now I'm waiting on badges to arrive that are simply labelled with girls names nothing else and will be drilling out every single existing badge on those I have and those I have on order. I'll keep my favourits but the rest will go up for sale with a true description so that the punter can buy a cue for what it is not who made it.

Good idea I like punter better

Look forward to it; can't beat a bit of cue porn

[Byrom]

I'd have one - Badge my cue up as Kelly Brook please.

[justf]

No wasnt with your "sod it post".
Over the years yes I have had 20-25 parris cues pass through my hands I collect some cues buy then move them on.

Parris cues in essence are not bad just perhaps not as good as some but its a matter of opinion. Even some cheap cues can be superb players.
Please don't label people with insulting terms just because they do not share your opinion.

You seem to have a sharp sense of humour and could be a great re-addition to the site so please be nice.
Anyone who livens the place up a bit I welcome.



If you think I'm a muppet then at least do me the courtesy of calling me Rowlf the dog.

[justf]

Lol
Don't forget your meds!!!

[QUOTE=Wity.;894684]Even some cheap cues can be superb players ?

Really ?

You sure?

C' mon tell the truth?

You really truly honestly believe "Even some cheap cues can be superb players?"


Wity , come to my club and i will show you an ex pro who uses a cue that cost less than £50 . His son also has one , and i rate that cue better .

The cues are made by David Wu . He rates them so highly that after he got his son one , he wanted one . So i managed to get one on Ebay for him .

His sons one is that good that i reckon you could put any top cuemakers badge in it and you couldn't tell the difference .


So , yes , you can get a cheap cue that is a player .

LMAO

What a bargain.

[billabong]

Is it just me, or would you expect a cue with a laminated shaft, to have splices that sat perfectly in line with the arrows ?

I mean isn't that one of the main points of going laminated anyway ?
