Got my JPU today
Hi Folks
Well I finally took delivery of my JP Ultimate this morning woo hoo!!
Placed my order on the 31/07/2014 and received an email on the 15/04/16 to say it was ready for dispatch (unfortunately I had to wait a couple of weeks to rustle up the cash as the cash I had originally saved to pay for it was long since spent lol). So I was a wait of 21 months total which was not quite as long as expected.
I have put a link at the bottom for some pics if anyone is interested.
Ok so the specs:
Ultimate ash shaft with African ebony butt with four secondary splices of Bois de Rose.
Standard 3/4 butt at 16". SD joint fitted.
57.75" long.
10mm tip.
18.5oz.
29mm butt.
I also treated myself to a Parris patchwork case in red, black and grey as shown on their website.
So my initial impression: The cue has a lovely silky smooth but fresh finish (very different to the finish on my MW Black Legend which has been oiled a number of times now). Splice points are all even. The requested specs are bang on and the BP is ~ 16.5 inches. Four nicely spaced chevrons on the shaft down the line of sight. The four Bois de Rose secondary splices are quite dark and understated and IMHO beautiful. In my unexpert opinion this is a beautifully made cue and I cannot find fault with it at all. Unfortunately I cant get to the club to try it out until tomorrow to see how it plays (aaaaaarrghhh!!!) and that of course will be the acid test.
The case is quite substantial/robust, very well made and the leather used appears to be top notch. The locks are also reassuringly solid in construction. Plenty of room with a chalk compartment and another bigger one for accessories. My only criticism would be that the built in studs on the side to protect the leather are only on one side as opposed to both!
But overall I am a very happy camper at the moment. My initial feel is that this cue is right up there with my MW which I absolutely love but but we will see over the coming few weeks.
