I know somebody who wanted a John Parris cue and bought one of those other pariscues.com cues, the company has a name so similar so that people may be confused between the two I guess, he ordered it recently and I think he has the wrong Parris company!

Steve Lee does use a Parris cue - I know bacause I used to do work on it for him. He used to visit my workshop on a regular basis driving all the way from Trowbridge to visit for new ferrules to be fitted and other work

Its amazing how much BS can appear on the Internet and I'm glad you've confirmed this Keith. I saw Stephen playing in a pro am and saw his cue close up enough to confirm it was a Parris. Why people come on here and say otherwise is beyond me. Its like they want to try and dent Parris reputation by spouting lies.

equally though parris does give the impression on his site that everyone uses his cues which is not the case.

just looked at this site and i'm shocked i've a parris classic and so has the pariscues.com and it even looks the same has anybody bought one of these cues and what did they think, were they of inferior quality.
how can they get away with such batant similarities

Must say that today is a buyers market and you have to get your face in the publics eye to sell big, and John Parris has done this better than the rest, by appearing on the television whenever he can :snooker: and the link he as with Steve Davis for example ( SD Joint ) Can you blame him, he must be doing something right.
The only thing which I can see happening is that he might get too big and the personal touch can be lost, which you will always get with a less commercial cue maker :snooker:
Just like to say I have one of Johns Elite cues and my game is better now than for the last twenty years been banging in the 100's again :snooker: and John also told me to bring the cue back if there was any problem at all, result.

in the end a cue is a tool and it does not matter who made it - if it suits you its fine.

umm he says 8/10 players use his cues - its not true, at least not now. and he has photos with lots of players with him some of whom i know have never used one of his cues.

thats completely different to your other post. the one where i replied saying i get a different impression.

his site does not make me think everyone uses a parris

[ADR147]

i believe its the impression he is trying to create.
