Lovely camera work at the Masters showing the badge of Dott's Parris Ultimate No.2050.

I noticed that as well. You were quick. Looks like a lovely cue.

was expecting someone to capture that and post it on here, you didn't let me down. Guess some will soon be on here to claim that it was given to him for free and that is the only reason he's using it. Does that mean Osbourne gave him the previous one for free, LOL.

I believe that he paid for his Osborne cue .

Still, people will only believe that this JP was a freebee. Of course whether they are or not the majority of players have choices and of the 16 in this tournament from the beginning, 9 used JP cues, not bad for someone who makes the worst cues in the world, uneven splices etc etc.

Did he pay for his bigandyg cue? Pretty sure he did!

Obviously not sure why he changed . But he seemed to be playing better with his Osborne cue than he had previously . Not playing too bad with his Parris one either .

Judging by the design I think he has been using this one since the start of this season. A bit like Higgins change of cue, probably felt he needed a change because he'd lost confidence with the Osbourne (maybe the uneven splices had something to do with it!). Dott used a Parris after the Andy Gibbs, then moved onto the Osbourne for a couple of seasons.

Just on the subject, there was a close up of Judd's Parris in his first match when the cameraman focussed on those shoes. I noticed his Parris wasn't an Ultimate but a special which proves my theory that these players pay for their cues.

Not in cash but more than made up for it with the free use of his name.

Where's my Blackplate Andy ????

How's it going making cues again ? Any pics of your current work ?

[bigandyg]

I did try Neil and sure he has a nice collection of cues.Think JP sent him three.Struggling a bit with the cues as I sold all my equipment so not able to do joints etc or any fancy splicing just basic stuff which suits me they nearly all go to the far east.Got a couple on ebay just now and a few on the website,getting enough to sell is a big problem.Will keep at the hotpot to hand over the cue.

[Neil Taperell]

I was joking about the cue Andy . But would be nice !!!

Are you getting new equipment then Andy ?

[bigandyg]

No too old just trying to boost the pension without much expense.

Your still doing ok Andy....see you soon mate.Might even give u a shot in my wee Subaru.

[bigandyg]

Might not get it back if you do.Barracuda cues offered me a job many years ago and the boss took me out for lunch and he had one with a difference.He had bought Jim Mcraes full race engine and put it in his and it was like a jet on four wheels.
