Is Parris Cues for real?

[eaoin11]

I like to both roll and sight down each of the splices.

If the cue is machine tapered it should in theory be perfectly conical (unless programmed for some other taper) and therefore roll straight on the table.

But hand planed shafts tend to be slightly thicker than conical, especially the modern Parris cues I've seen, so it's more useful to just sight carefully down the shaft.

If u have such proof, this is possible. Why? I have seen a few chinese cues that have very good quality, up to professional use. Don't know about the durability of the shaft. This is a shocking news to me

a cue is a cue wherever it was made. its country of origin and maker should not be important - a good cue is a good cue but i must say so far i have never seen a good cue that was not from either the uk or thailand.

I have in my collection, good cues from Germany (Eurowest, Arthur Cue), Italy (Longoni), France (TC Cues), BCN (Spain), USA (McDermott and others), Taiwan (Fury and KF cues and many others) etc etc etc
All are fantastic quality works of art :snooker:

Picture of your Arthur to share?
I like TC cues, Thierry makes a nice solid cue. Is Vincent Facquet still playing with his cue?

I'm surprised to hear you say that ADR (and I know you are the man when it comes to cues). Did you ever try a Tom Gauthier cue? He was a Canadian cue maker, his cues are a pricey collectors item over here, he made very nice cues, though I have no idea if they'd meet you exacting standards, but many of the old school Canadian players used his cues (Thorburn still uses one). I'd be interested in your opinion of these cues.

Hi,

I got words from my frd who is real close to a certain cuemaker in Thailand that some of John Parris is done in his workshop then ship back to UK to be re-badge under JP.

Just like to ask around if this is true... Cos i saw a JP traditional replica from the same Thailand factory and it cost only a fraction of what JP listed on its website.

Can anyone out there provide any light to what i have said?

Is JP made in Thailand or UK?
