Cuewatch dont get ripped off

Did / does Mr Parris make machine spliced cues ? ? I don't think so, but I'm not realy an expert.

Yes he did and that looks very much like one of them.

Looks fine that, altho price too high considering pool spec

Cheers guys, consider my knowledge updated ( if only a wee bit ), still plenty to soak up though.

Doesn't look right to me that cue, face splice seems to be made of the wrong wood, the butt seems to have a rubber stopper of some description on it along with a non parris looking badge on the case (which is described as parris branded aluminium despite not being listed on the website) and 2 "custom" extensions. Its possible it has some kind of third party butt joint on it, just strikes me as a little odd looking.

Ye I saw this and it struck me as a possible fake .
Also, the spec is the same as pretty much all mass produced chinese cues, i.e 57" long, 18.5 oz and 9.5 tip

Hmmmmmm......

Anyone noticed theres quite a few cues on the bay claiming to be from Mike Russell's collection but with a couple of different people selling them?

Then you have this Hunt & o'Byrne from another guy claiming the same thing.

H&O looks very nice, though could do with some close ups of the badge, splicing etc.




Could easily just be legit, just seems a bit odd that its 2 different people selling them.

They are all from the same seller, no they are not, sorry

[jrc750]

Both sellers from just round the corner from me, that Billy bloke sold some of Mike's a while ago too

[narl]

Well not the same ebay account which is why it looked a bit suspicious, the H&O is claiming the same thing on a different account, do ebay have some kind of cap on amount of listings you can have?

Didn't think Russell was a collector as well, H&O looks very nice and a 1 piece as well.

[perpetualboredom]

Had an email from Mike ages ago.. wanted stupid money for all the cues so I passed.
Not that they're bad cues, he just paid too much for them!

[billabong]

To be fair he sells lots of junk/car boot tat and has sold lots of cues so he's probably lazy with his cut and paste and forgot to change the shipping details.

Everybody who bought a cue from him left positive feedback.

Sorry to be off topic, but I couldn't resist . From the same seller :-
