What is best cue to buy been out of the game a long time

[itsnoteasy]

As a whole ADR, who's cues do you think are made to the best standard , I'm not asking about playability as I know that's a personal thing to each player, but more the quality of woods used and workmanship, if it will cause a kerfuffle on here you can take the fifth amendment lol.

Have you ever had one of these ADR147?

Hi Ramon,
They are a small family business in Thailand that only make around 25 to 30 cues a year at the moment . So you will not
find anything on the internet about them for now. The standard of these cues is as good as anything I have seen
In my opinion !And I have agreed to sell them and see how it goes for the time being !
If you need more details drop me a line
Cheers

Many thanks for The info,,Paul

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.

+100 to that !!!!!!!

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

Apologies for tut, was bit rude....but I stand by my opinion, parris are best...we wont win this!

[cueboy777]

@ 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?

I acquired one..(and now selling as per a previous post) as was merely posing the question...you see, this is where you lot have all gone bit potty, I have had 2 parris cues and have sold one and don't use the other as my reg cue, however I do believe they are best, play the best and are top quality. For a new or young player you couldn't go wrong to use one...

I always smile when I see someone state that a or b is the best cuemaker there is.I have seen that TW and I believe MW post on this forum,never seen JP post but could be wrong,but neither of these have claimed to be the best and I honestly think they don't think so either! the reason being you can only do your best and if you think you are the best then you stop trying!.JP is to be admired for marketing his cues so that they have achieved such an elevated status, but joe public must be aware that the ultimate that so and so pro uses is no mail order job, he would def have tried before buyed!If RO and any other pro tried enough bats they could have used any cuemakers cues!.sorry for the rant but my heart goes out to the poor souls that think paying obscene amounts for mail order cues gets them a good playing cue,nice looking maybe but good playing,POT LUCK

Everyone loves to hate John Parris.

Sorry guys, hate was a bit strong and not the best worded post.

As people say there are a lot of fantastic cue makers about these days. Which are doing excellent quality work proving that standards are higher than ever these days.

...never seen JP post but could be wrong...

JP does have a TSF account but he does not live on here like some of us :biggrin:

and how many parris have you owned in order to make this judgement that you are so sure about, 400/500 ? and how many other makers cues?

I thought we had covered this?? I base my judgement as a player, I don't need to try 500 cues to know a decent one...as I have said, there are many excellent cue makers, and many average ones...and hundreds of hidden gems out there! Butt if u buy a parris, u will make the most of your ability, its probably where ive gone wrong!! as ive said, this argument will go on, but parris will have the most pro tournament wins this season, make of that what you will.
