The trend at the moment is for as near as possible perfect arrows , this originally was started by the cue collectors and has snowballed to the point most people want that more than the playability of a cue , a lot of the time the cues with even arrows are actually short grain and therefore weaker, you can tell if cue is short grain by looking at the side grain which should really run the full length of the cue and not diagonally giving loads of backward arrows on back of cue most of the best shafts don't have even arrows and may even have a boat or two in the grain , that's a oval pattern.
The ash we get today is not really any different to twenty years ago and if you have seen as many black plate H&O and ultimate cues as I have you will know this .
Parris cues have not changed in quality they are as good as they have always been and the red glue cues are just that red glue that bled through the veneers and did not look as good as the glue now being used and no John did not make every red glue cue as he has had skilled employees working for him well before glue changed .
Hope this helps
Very much so thanks
It's hard to pot balls with a Chimpanzee tea party going on in your head
