Wow, i know people often joke about the length of Parris splices being way out, but normally they are in line ehh, this one is so far out it should never of been let out the shop

Yeah that's pretty bad to say the least, they're so uneven it makes the veneers look off centered when in reality it's the bottom of one side of the veneers is much lower than the other side.

It's already up at a grand as well with 27 bids.

Why is it when these cues show up they're usually either short, or have a stupidly small tip? Seems like most of these cues originally got bought by the short arse brigade who played the crap uk version of pool. Probably explains why when a snooker spec one appears it gets jumped on.

It's horrendous. And it's probably £1200 to buy new!! I would of sent it straight back. Or stick it on eBay and still get double for it

The proceeds do go to charity do they not?

Luther Lassiter's Balabushka pool cue sold for about 50k. Don't know if you can compare the craftmanship, but Lassiter is probably equivalent of Steve Davis is terms of prestige. Even the most expensive snooker cues are a fraction of the price of many custom pool cues.

Did not hear of that cue. Someone had very very deeeeeep pockets for that indeed.

Pool cues are usually overly elaborate with tons of inlays and veneers etc, 99% machine made by cnc but still command a ludicrous premium. Anything done by hand in pool cues is generally just sticking glue in and screwing the butt to the shaft.

Funny thing is he only used this for a pretty short time, i think he first got it around the 1998 grand prix, he got put out by dominic dale and the commentators stated he didn't look comfortable with the cue as he only had it 2 weeks. Probably used it for a few months tops.

At 5100 now, OMG. May I know what is the most a cue has gone for? I guess one JPU with Damien Hurst went for 15k
