Stephen hendry's cue

[trainspotting]

does anyone here knows the exact model of hendry's old cue(the one that got smashed during a plane flight)? and if its still avaliable or anywhere that it could be purchased?
and his new 3/4 maple cue, is it a john parris?

not sure if that is really a mastercue.
too much conspiracy going on!

and if u ask me if its a mastercue... I doubt so....
His cue joint isn't the standard mastercue joint, judging by the number of turns he made.

It is a Parris cue. I thought everyone knew that!
I even remember the interview with Hendry at the time he had it and he said that JP had his old cue measurements but Stephen wanted to try a completely different cue. John made him 3 up and Stephen picked out one and sent the others back.

IMO I still feel he'd be better suited going back to a 1 piece cue, he's never really found any consistancy with this 3/4 jointed cue.

is that model still in production ? anyone knows where i can get my hands on 1?
btw hendry did win a couple of tournaments with his new 3/4 cue right?

I doubt its in production.
He won a couple.. I think he won a british open and a Malta cup in 2005.

I wonder when did he changed his cueing action. Did it happen because of the new cue or?

Geordie pool have got one called the black widow, which is a replica of the powerglide I believe...their batch is made for 8ball but I expect you could get one made with a snooker spec - they're very cheap but the materials are pretty good. If not, you can always ask a custom cue maker to make one for you.

Apparently this is a faithful copy..

made for Geordie pool..

If you really want one though i'd suggest keeping an eye on ebay for it, Snurta which is geordie pool I believe may have it up for auction from time for time and seeing the Supreme cue (mine)which both ask for over £100 for can be had for £38 on ebay it'd be worth waiting to find for auction.

Well..

The cue is in a glass display case somewere..possibly the crucible..or wembley.. i wud luv 2 own it ..even in 2 pieces.

well the one he won everything with was a powerglide connoisseur and for sure it was replaced with a parris maple but yesterday (and i was about 2 feet from the table) he had a maple cue 3/4 split with 4 splices in green veneers then 4 in ebony then another 4 in green veneers and another 4 in ebony finished off with a very highly figured slightly shorter than average face splice in what i would say was birdseye maple. the badge could well have been parris but hard to see under the lights and you don't want to ask him during a match!
