best cues?

[Watford]

I don't know as much as trevs1 but I have definitely been under whelmed by some of the Parris cues I’ve seen!
I’ve played with an ambassador, a champion, and a special.
The ambassador (a mates) is a nice player but this one isn’t very pleasing on the eye. The ash doesn’t have straight arrows or straight line grain, this puts me off!
The champion (another friends) is a nice looking and playing cue, well worth the money.
The special was a second hand cue at craftsman. For what would have been a £300+ custom made cue it was terrible. The tops of the splices were uneven by about half an inch and it played like a broomhandle. That’s what made me decide I wasn’t going to get a Parris.
I suppose one thing with Parris now is that the company will be making a lot of cues; with lots of different people doing the work. This is could explain some of the differences in quality.

Certainly the Parris’ I’ve seen don’t live up to my Mast Cue (Trevor White) or some of the other custom cue maker’s work I’ve seen!
And I did quite a lot of looking before getting my cue!

Trevor, do you have a website where it's possible to see your work?

Best value for money i would say craftsman cues and trevor white cues, i get work done by craftsman and there workmanship is excellent.

i use a mike wooldridge cue and would say that he is one of the top makers, i have a parris ultimate which never gets used.

mike is also very helpful when you email him and ask him things.

i chop and change cue's like a golfer and his clubs from cheap 20-50 pounds up to a parris one over 250 but i all ways seem to end up going back to my grandads burroughs and watts which was made in the 20s of which i had changed into a 2 piece in the 90's its got a great feel to it
