:smile:
I dont think they hate Parris, I am am sure they will also say that Parris does make good cues; but that you cannot say that Parris ARE THE BEST in the world (and especially just because ROS uses them :rolleyes) but that there are many other makers out there that make fantastic cues, just as good and often better than some Parris cues.
this is an old conversation that will probably never die :sad:

Exactly, and this was my point really...get real, who has tried all makes of cue?? i havent, you havent..dout anyone has!!!! but on whole, and if you talk to the top players, Parris is the best, to many top 16 players think that way... look at facts,, this isnt hard now is it!!

"...doubt anyone has..." you may not have, Pascale may not have, OK but I have tried many on that list (not all, yet :smile but others on TSF most certainly have...
For the ones that I have tried, I would say that Parris is up with at the top with many others as well at the top.
I have come across some Parris cues that are just awful - and I dont mean that they were not good for me, I mean they were terribly made and very poor finish. I have also come across some Parris cues that are just beautifully made.
I have a JP Special that I use for pool league and it probably is not the best cue made but to me it works :smile:
Saying that JP must be the best in the world just because most of the top 16 use them also is not evidence of the best cue in the world, this is because of a variety of reasons, which have been done to death in many other threads.
peace :smile:

No sorry not having that...no one has used all, because there are many more cuemakers who he didn't mention...I think we have come away form original question, if you, are I were advising someone where to go to get a great cue where would it be? Yes there are many places you could go, and it wouldn't be a wrong choice. However if you do want the ultimate it would have to be Parris...but then budgets etc might say otherwise!

Actually there are people on here who would of tried all of those cue makers.
Parris is no where near the best

I very much dout that, and if they have...trying one cue from one cuemaker isn't going to answer the question is it??? tut

It is a question that has no answer, but you saying Parris is the best is just wrong and mis leading

[stejohn]

@ cue boy...... 2 months ago you asked if Parris cues were any better than Peradon

"Ok, having used two Parris cues in past with varying results, i have took plunge and bought a peradon instead..whats general consensus on peradon? obviously cheaper to buy but is there really much different in quality??"

Now your saying there the best how have you suddenly decided that?

[ADR147]

Think we,ll just have to agree to disagree , just out of curiosty whicj of the following cues have you owned or used .

Trevor White
Mike Wooldridge
Dave Coutts
Robin Cook
Tony Glover
Northwest
Jason Owen
Tony Ions
Gbl
Robert Osborne
Hunt cue

all of them, and more!

I have! parris is not the best. and the idea that one cue maker is always the best is just stupid. pro players tend to use the cuemaker that they live nearest to.

[jrc750]

I very much doubt that ........ tut

all of them, and more!

So there you go boy, you have been proven wrong, and that wasn't even one of the people i wasn't thinking of. Next time be careful who your throwing your tut's out to

[ADR147]

I will have had more than one from each maker - for example i have 7 parris here just now and maybe 6 trevor whites etc etc
