I'm amazed that so many use Parris, I just don't get it! :biggrin-new: Then again, most footy players probably use Nike and Adidas as well. Respect to Ding for going back to his Stamford and what a great job they did on refurbing his cue. I guess to some extent it doesn't matter; they're all made from brittle, oven wood. :biggrin-new:

Top 16 Snooker Players Current Cue Makes and Models

The list has surprised me a little. There are so many cue makers out there but the top 16 are rife with Paris so that's gotta say something.
What I would be interested in would be if the list changes if you went out to the top 32, 64 or 128?
Do you think it would be the same?

The current top 16 I have:
Mark*Selby - Stamford
Stuart*Bingham - Gary Taylor with SightRight
Judd*Trump - John Parris Special
Shaun*Murphy - John Parris
Neil*Robertson - John Parris Classic (was his dads modified (lengthened?) by P Hanley with some splices)
John*Higgins - Exquisite
Mark*Allen - John Parris Ultimate (possibly #1068?) with multiple tulip/veneer/tulip splicing
Ricky*Walden - John Parris Ultimate
Ding*Junhui - Stamford (back to using his old Stamford which was recently refurbished (more like rebuilt) by Stamford )
Ronnie*O'Sullivan - John Parris Ultimate (spliced with Traditional style)
Joe*Perry - John Parris
Marco*Fu - Kevin DeRoo (tried some others recently, Wright for one)
Mark*J*Williams - Acuerate (question - has Mark J gone back to JP? last time I saw him playing it looked like the Acuerate)
Barry*Hawkins - John Parris Classic (has since 14yrs old)
Martin*Gould - Aeon with SightRight fitting
Kyren*Wilson - John Parris

1. Parris - 9 = 56.25% (62.5% if MJW has one) - as I have always said JP has been the master of promoting and advertising his wares since the early 80s (hooking up with Steve Davis at the time did not hurt)
2. Stamford - 2 = 12.5
5x single occurrence
outside the top 16 - gaps of unknown cue makes crop in
top 32:
1. Parris - 15 (no MJW) - 46.9%
2 Stamford - 5
3. Exquisite - 4
2 Acuerate - 2 (with MJW)
5x single occurrence
top 64:
1. Parris - 22 34.4%
2. Stamford - 6
Exquisite & Acuerate same as above
12x single occurrence
18x unknown
full tour
1. Parris - 28 21.4%
2. Stamford - 6
Exquisite & Acuerate same as above
Mike Wooldridge & H&Ob 2 each
17x single occurrence
70 unknown
I need to get a life! :biggrin:Up the TSF! :snooker:

Obviously they're using them as they feel it suits.

Dean. Great list mate, really does raise a few questions as Cannonball says.
I wonder if many of them sought out a Parris or the other way around? Either way they like what they see!
