Apparently thats the way it happened.

In theory.. Better way than to wait for a custom cue ( it's surprising how many ppl do not know their specs ).

I thought judds cue is a 'Majestic'.... (john parris)

If He just picked it off the peg (so too speak) like ppl say it wouldn't be a special would it?

I was under the impression a 'special' is ordered through the cue builder to your own specs etc..

Trumps cue looks like a 'majestic' too me..

IMO I don't believe any player really has specific specs that they can be sure will work for them. With cue shafts varying in flex and density its more important to find the hit of the cue to be right for you. I saw a young kid in competition yesterday playing with a full length cue despite him holding it around 8 inches up from the butt end. People who are overly specific on length and weight and tip size are being too picky IMO. These types of players are forever changing cues because rather than adapt to it they keep looking for something else around those same specs when sometimes its not the spec of the cue that is the problem.

My mate went from using a 56.5" cue to a 58" cue and took to it straight away. He didn't go in with the intention of looking for another cue the exact spec, simply tried a couple out and took to using one and not trying to compare it to his old one.

Judd went to Parris to order his new cue, pick it up 1 piece from the rack his current cue and never looks back. John made him Ultimate but he loves his special. Interesting as i was in the shop day before and really like this cue but it was to many arrows on the shaft for my liking.Cue specs. 58" 17.5oz 9.5mm tip. Cue has very nice balance and feel.
Judd obviously got this cue for free.

the way he's playing at the moment he should take it back

Cues with lots of arrows has plenty of flex, probably suited his style of play. Probably not the choice of cue for most players. I heard years ago Ronnie's first Parris cue was a Parris Traditional off the rack and when he had alteration done the badge was changed to Ultimate? I suppose any Parris custom made or replica cues that goes into the choice of wood for their shaft may have an Ultimate badge.

That's not necessarily true Crucible, this usually denotes slower growth in the ash and in many cases this results in a very stiff shaft. I like the anecdote on Ronnie's cue, I think it's great he picked a cue that felt good and played well for him over how it looked or was badged! A lesson for all buying a cue.

I was told this by a well known cue maker that fewer chevrons means a stiffer cue.

My TW cue has 15 plus chevrons and it is very stiff.

But your post says " lots of arrows" ?
