Really nice looking paragon, Eureka design.

I'm put off tulipwood now as the first ever custom cue I had made used the ugliest piece imaginable as a face splice, which I later had re-spliced. Even at its best there are so many better looking alternative woods i'd prefer.

How is the JP Classic off eBay playing?

Not got it currently, over at parris getting a double face splice and a refinish.

Not really interested, i think narl bidded on this one?
Not going to steal his thunder, besides, there is no sd lock connection and no extensions.

I would be interested in the case though if the buyer didn't need it (and if the price was acceptable).

Can't even buy this, no shipment outside UK, no details about tipsize, length, weight, woodtypes.

Check final photo as he has a Parris screenshot from website.

Just out of curiousity, how expensive is the average ultimate in the JP shop?
They are not listed in the collection so you have to order that with the cue builder i assume, but what would be the average price be?

A plain ebony butt 1 piece ultimate is £1056, you pay a £120 premium for it to be 1 piece.

A plain ebony butt 3/4 jointed at 16" ultimate is £936.

They're not available in the shop unless someone returns one from what I understand. I've seen Uniques and a Paragon when I've been but not an Ultimate

Not for 1 piece ultimates, if you check the parris site current waiting time for 1 piece ultimates is 60 months, and that's really just an estimate as it can take longer if you have a specific shaft grain pattern you want.

It's honestly a ridiculous waiting period to say the least, seemingly mostly down to chinese buyers placing multiple orders, just have to see some of the snooker sales places on facebook and it's usually chinese players posting pics with multiple ultimates.

I guess the chinese players think a 'ultimate' cue is the erm ultimate thing to have, well of course i'm sure they are great cues but so are JP's other models.....

I have a general rule. If someone has to tell you that something is a thing, then it's probably not that thing.

I have a ten+ year old Parris Ambassador. Nice cue, nothing wrong with it. I have five better cues (for me) that cost a combined amount less than the price of the ambassador. My cue is not the representative of a foreign country, and I suspect there may be better cues than an ultimate. That's just my inbuilt cynicism.
