higgins got a new cue

[QUOTE=paddybhoy30;660534]Are you sure it's two. I thought his first cue was a riley burwat.[/QUOTE

I seem to remember Higgins using one of those newer type burwats from the early 90's; made by Aeon prior to using Parris

Its funny how some years ago players always stuck by one cue most of their career, it was always seen as the most important aspect was to stick to one cue. Now though it seems that quite a few players are quick to change cues when their form suffers, as though its not their lack of practice or form that is in question, they seem very quick to blame the cue. Higgins has won countless tournaments over the past 5-6 years since he used his old cue and now he's changing again. It doesn't make sense to me.

I think Ronnie's standard of play in the 2012 WC proves you don't need to stick to one cue your whole career to perform at your best.

How can you make that judgement without asking John the reason for the change, and trying the cue yourself before and after? It might have been to make the taper stiffer, increase tip size or other reasons you haven't bothered to consider.

Because when he done it he got a piece chopped off the end of the butt and a couple of days later had it glued back on. So it either made no difference or made things slightly worse, in his mind at least.

Theres also the fact that soon after he went to John Parris to have a cue made, so its obvious that chopping and adding bits didn't work.

Ronnie could beat em with a broom handle tbh. Ronnie's play is far removed from a mere cue.

Is his new cue with reverse arrows like his previous northwest cue.

I think a broom handle is a tad extreme, even for ROS. But I hear you tho.

I wouldn't agree... the number of cues changes Ronnie had, and the number of cues John Parris have to make for Ronnie so he can choose one he likes, and the number of tips changes he made in a certain comp, certainly proves that he can't just play with "anything" whether it's physically, or just in the mind...

Made some nice cues from broom handles thirty years ago when I was starting out.The old quality broom shafts were made of ash.

[Neil Taperell]

Think a few are still being made using broom handles today Andy........not the same class as ash though

Any luck with my present from Graeme .....Lol!!!!!!

Did you see the post on here last week.........'This cue won the World' ?........one of your creations .

Yes this cue has the reverse grain on top as that's what john asks for, am pretty sure its not bubinga that the splicing has been done with, its not one I've seen too often on cues.

[trevs1]

Lower splices are cocobolo, but a very unusual and highly figured piece.

[cueman]

The question on everyone's lips though is Trev, did he pay you for it or did you give it to him for free?

[platt]

i bet he paid trevor.......
