Parris updated cue waiting times, don't look if you have an order placed already!

[cueman]

Deadly serious! I have ordered a cue from all the top makers in the last 12-18 months. Trevor white took 11 months,
Robin Cook was almost 13 months, tony glover took 5 months, crispian jones took just over 6 months, Stamford said 7-8 months for my series 1 so that should be ready in April. I did manage to get Dave Coutts to make me a cue in 6-7 weeks though
Even if it is 3 years I'm not that bothered as I've got some lovely cues already and I'm not in a major rush. I ordered a 1 piece ash ebony with an amboyna burr with a thick maple veneer, 57.5" 9.5mm 18oz 29.5mm butt diameter

Very nice list of cues there. Sounds a bit like Pottr on here who has also ordered from nearly all the top cue makers.

Was you fussy about the shaft requirements for your Parris? The design is similar to what I ordered minus the maple veneer, I asked for a long amboyna front splice.

I just asked for a stiff shaft with straight side grain and the final chevron not too close to the ferrule, what about you were you fussy?

[cueman]

Not too fussy, just requested a shaft with 5-8 chevrons, evenly spaced. With a fairly stiff shaft but not too stiff that its lifeless. For me the balance was the main thing, I like a cue fairly forward balanced at around 17.5-18" from the butt end.

Dan Shelton quoted me 3-4 months, if it had been 3 years I'd of been happy, at least i would of got a cue, still waiting but not hoping anymore

Stephen Maguir (one of the best players in the world), plays with a cue GBL C8 mapel. He has won a few tournaments. There are players who like to hvave a cue from Parris or other brands. They like to have a few cues and trying everything. There's nothing wrong with that. But if you buy a cue just to play Snooker ,,!!!
There are many other options for a good playing cue and reasonable waiting time.
Btw, in my opinion, a cue as a maximus ultimate, certainly plays better than a Parris ultimate. But that's just my opinion.

I agree about the Maximus Ultimate mate , my team mate has one . One that Higgins didn't want . A Fantastic cue

Lucky you. 3/4 or 1 pc? How long have you been waiting?

[Gary Hall]

Nice one, but how long now to wait?

about 12 weeks or thereabouts

[cueman]

Pretty sure Pottr ordered a 1pc cue. He ordered a month before me so going by that logic, I should get an update on mine within the next month or two. Here's hoping anyway, but knowing my luck I'll be waiting until Xmas!

[jono*]

He also ordered a maple which I guess is quicker as It's not as 'popular s ash

[pottr]

Yeah, I think it was about 18 months ago? Not too sure

Ultimate
One piece maple
19oz
58"
9mm ferrule.

Not sure what to do when it arrives. I'm not going to be switching from my TW.

Probably just sell it on to someone who doesn't want to wait 2 years for one from new.
Or just keep it? **** knows.
