Nice looking cue but that butt is a wee bit on the chunky side.

Maybe that's a way it has been extended, mind you it is too long for most people at 580cm

Could well be, Mike had one like that a year or so back that had been lengthened with an ebony dowel that was wider than it needed to be. Suppose its a cheaper and quicker way to lengthen a cue than adding 4 splices.

This classic looks a little odd, if you look at the joint on the shaft (fifth picture) there seems to be some work done to the wood just above the joint. Almost looks like a separate piece of ebony put in that's very slightly wider than the wood above it.

Glover, Jason Owens, Trevor white miles ahead in my opinion.

What bad experience have you had with them then ?

My first half decent cue was a Parris, thought it was alright. Felt abit clunky, changed tips a few times. Cue finish wasn't great. Was under the weight I requested. Anyway I realise now after having cues from other top cue makers that Parris cues are definitely overated. Had another Parris cue come through my hands after selling the first and it was pretty much the same

Bet it plays like a broomstick. Said it before, never would I buy a Parris cue again. Looks nice tho.
