    Hey, just want a ton, how long did you have to wait for your cue, if you don't mind me asking?

    Dead right Leo. If anyone post pics of their cue surely it is to get honest opinions as to what folk think of their cue as no one wants to be lied to do they?

    It is just folks personal opinion and dusn't matter a jot, its what the cues owner thinks that matters and if he's happy with it that's great.

    Just in case anyone was mistaking my art of tact and diplomacy for me sitting on the fence I will just say that in MY personal opinion it looks grotesque, but perhaps I don't see what others do.

    I just want a ton:

    When it's on the table, is there a gap between the ferrule and the table or is the ferrule flat down into the cloth? It looks like a nice taper to me, not too linear but photos can be deceptive. I'd be interested to know the sort of taper applied. Cheers.

    I've played for years now, obviously with a cheaper cues to start with then started to "mess" around with other Cues. I bought a craftsman cue when I first laid out a bit of serious cash, £300 Inc extensions and Case.
    I moved on a couple of years later to a Parris Regency Cue, the quality of finish was completely different, it felt like a totally different tool. As soon as I began playing with it, I felt my game change. I used to take both Cues, play a frame with one cue, then play a frame with the other, just so I could physically feel the difference and make sure I wasn't imagining it!!
    The Ultimate again feels different, with someone of my standard, it's not going to be a massive game changer, practice is the only thing that's going to move things further forward now, but having confidence in the cue is also a massive boost to anyone's game.
    I've tried, 1 piece, 3/4, single splice, multiple splice, of some very nice cue manufacturers. They all felt nice in my hands, but I wanted my "own".
    So be it praise, or negative comments towards the cue, it matters not, as it wasn't about pleasing anyone but myself.
    I designed it, I like it, it feels great to me, it's time to go beat my highest break!
    Ramon, the spec is 58" 3/4 cue, 20oz weight, 9.5mm tip.
    Liking the length, I'm guessing your around 6 foot then? The tip is spot on for snooker, none of that 9mm pool nonsense. Weight, she's a heavy one. Sorry for another question but where is the balance point (BP) when you hold the cue on one finger? I'd be interested to know if JP has achieved forward balance despite the weight inside the cue?

    Most times we are very nice people and we often lie and say its nice when we think its not. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I am told, therefore I'm off to specsavers
    Ive always been me if I like or dislike a persons cue I'll tell them straight and won't pussy foot around with lies just to make them feel better neither.

    Biggest load of crap north of the equator. U seriiously need a head check dude. We all know you have a JP shrine at home where you offer worship but I have seen countless many cues in the flesh that can put this cue to shame. Alaso you are a HYPOCRIT of note. One momemnt you say any cue made with glue and joints is crap and clunk and next moment you go praising a cue with many glue interfaces and joints JUST COS its made by JP. Whether JP is the premier cue maker or not you constantly rub the nose of other cuemakers here on the forum, many of whom are considered to make superior cues to JP. And tell the atheists about angel ash. I am sure they need a new joke.
