What a bargain

Apparently putting some kind of odd joint on this cue makes it a 1 piece?

Looks similar to the kind of work done to a cue that Mike had to take apart and repair a while back.

If you look at one of the pics the joint doesn't even line up; looks like a complete bodge job.

Yeah same as the parris cue on mikes page if ya check the pics before mike fixed it properly. I thought that was a one off bodge job but it seems someone is making these joints in some kind of numbers.

for sure mike didn't do that job.

Impressive amount of chalk below the ferrule.

Yup, basically the same kind of work he had to fix previously though, dodgy dowelled joint that was thinner than the ebony above it.

Just noticed that, how the hell does someone manage that?

Looks like a bad attempt at lengthening it

Very bad then, as it's still only 56"

Originally it was Ronnie Corbetts cue:-)

probably hits the ball sweet and he makes tons all day long, shame he don't know it's all about the looks!

I need to beg for a buy it now price. The brass joint is probably still there, or at least some form of bolt because the cue would fall apart if it was only wood and glue joint. The wood plug is absolutely bang on with the rest of the butt, perfect fit! And it's a 9mm, 16oz pool cue as well, ideal for a hobbit snooker!

Badge says John Parris Superior cue. What's superior about the gaps between the splices being uneven?

Don't know where you looking ? not even close !!
I would say joint is no longer there

Yes looks like a cover up to me and a bad one at that.

WOW! that's a really special repair job!
