Had this a few months now, cues don't come any better imo.
I have to agree with you imo the best cues out there, I love playing with my USA 11mm pool cue and I have a 9.5mm snooker cue from Mike as well and they take very little time to get used to them
They really went mental with the size of that face splice, i remember the traditionals used to have a pretty short face splice then they suddenly made it much longer (easy to tell an old one from a new one in this regard), seems to be the new size for them.
Couldn't resist getting on the table and giving it a test drive earlier, only had it this morning!
It does feel nice, got to get used to the throw and obviously a new tip but first impressions are it's a very nice cue. Doesn't feel as heavy as it is, got a nice spring in shaft I think I'll adapt to it. However, it's a tough decision if it will replace my maximus ultimate, as I've used that for over 3 years.

In the flesh it doesn't look as long as the photo makes it appear, though I did ask for a 10" length front splice because I have an old traditional model with a very short face splice and didn't want a short splice as I didn't want a thick veneer.
I've got to admit I'm actually thrilled with it now. There is always that little bit of uncertainty because until you open the package you don't know what its going to look like. At first I thought well its nice but not exactly as I expected. But looking at it closer and the grain in the shaft and overall quality of the butt and front splice, Parris has gone up in my estimation. This is definitely a huge leap in quality to the standard range I've seen recently and having read some comments that some ultimate cues in recent times have been poor quality, suffice to say this is one of the finest cues I've seen, let alone owned.
