Its barely big enough premises to be called a factory! He probably has around 8 or so people working on cues all doing different jobs. Its the only way to possibly meet demand. The Ultimate cues and most made to measure cues will be carried out by his top craftsman, including himself. However it is likely that the normal Parris range are made by the lesser experienced workers, but will still be very capable craftsmen.

Your use of the term 'factory' could be applied to near enough all people who make cues. They will certainly be making them in a workshop which is the term I prefer, and really is what JP's setup is. It doesn't make it a derogatory term unless that is what you are implying?

You would have thought then that an ultimate cue returned for extra splicing would have the same top craftsmen looking after the work .

Which makes the 10mm splice difference a bit difficult to figure out . Maybe one that slipped through the net ?

How are they "factory cues" exactly?

Sorry, my language expression may not be good, I only start to speak, read & write English when I no longer a teenager... LOL.

done by a group of workers in a factory, mass production....
correct me if I am wrong, sincerely apologize if I am wrong.

Cheers~~~~~~~

That sort of work especially on an Ultimate cue is unacceptable. Just the other day Jason Owen put up a cue here for sale as a "sinbin" cue and all that was visually wrong was just one splice was out by a similar amount as seen on that Ultimate. And Jason is a newbie cuemaker here. One would certainly never see such work leaving MW or TW or RC or most other top cuemakers workshop.

I always use this term for a JP cue.... "Factory Cues"
Correct me if I am wrong....... Sorry, no offense to JP's fans

If I have the budget, I'll get a MW & TW..... never never JP.
Currently only mastercraft & dunn.

I saw Jason's sinbin cue, is actually nice.... but I was late !!

Cheers ~~~~~~~

Nice looking stick matty, was never really a fan of their joints though, just looks overly excessive and heavy. How are you going to go about getting it taken down in weight, from what i recall that one was 22oz or around that mark?

yeh around 21 onz. the weight feels in the butt end, so should be easy to be taken out.

Hi fellow members, it appears that I'm not the only one who pays a lot of attention to detail and yes, fastidious is the word! I had both the cues re-spliced cos I had wanted the cues lengthen plus some minor changes like weight n size for ferrule. Paid quite a bit for this work too, especially on the 'Ultimate' cos it had two new layers of 4 secondary splices added on(Quilted Maple n Thuya Burr).

I received both cues yesterday morning by courier and when I opened up the package, my elation turned to disappointment immediately upon inspecting these cues!! The splices on the 'Superior' were not aligned to the original splices at the top and the lower point on the face splice of the 'Ultimate' was out by 10mm!! Unfortunately, these flaws are quite obvious to the eyes, as evident by the various comments here on the forum.

Will shoot off an email to John today about these flaws and gonna call him up directly on Wednesday cos the shop is closed on Tuesday. I would imagine that someone in the JP's shop would have inspected these cues before they were dispatched and would have picked up these flaws immediately, no?

Not sure what JP's response will be, hopefully it'll be a positive one. Any suggestions here?
