John Parris Cues

[Casuals]

I heard that Parris cues were excellent for a certain time period back then. Anyone knows when exactly is this time period? And does this apply to all Parris cues? Then again, it's quite hard to know the age of the cue because some owners might just lie or maybe the cue's been gone through too many owners.

Have an urge to get a Parris cue, maybe Traditional or Superior so I thought I'll see if I can get the better ones.

a cue is a cue - a good one a good one its more about knowing what you are looking at.

hard to be 100 % sure - had work over the years - ask for a photo of the joint.

[snedge]

Sorry i said it was a traditional cue but its a champion cue and sorry Andrew do you mean the joint when both pieces are un screwed

[ADR147]

it does not really work like that but the desireable / collectable ones have the word handmade or the postcode on them ie 20 odd years ago.
