**Post Pictures of your cue!**

Very Nice Cue. I have been thinking of getting a butt joint put on mine, can you tell me how much it cost you with both extensions. I will have to add delivery there and back. Cheers

I can't remember exactly, but i think the SD joint was around £38, mini butt i think was £25, and extension was i think £35. Could be slightly out here, but as far as i remember that's about right. You could check the website to see if there are exact costs on it.

Yes, now some 27 years old. Time does fly. From being at the Parris shop though and looking at Classic cues of today, the ebony is a different animal. The ebony on this cue is as black as it comes everywhere. The grain is also perfectly straight. I forget his name, but the young guy who makes the Ultimate's was staring at it for a long time, saying he couldn't believe how straight it was. Something else that's odd, is that there are arrows on both sides. There is one negative arrow on the reverse side, but other than that, arrows both sides.

None of that makes a blind bit of difference though, and 27 years ago i don't even remember arrows being a thing. Just strange looking at it now.

Thought i'd post some more of this, since photobucket decided to drop all images.................................. My Parris Classic. It's 26 years old about now. Took it back in Jan-Feb for the SD joint. Still have the original 3/4 extension too.

Nah its a big difference narl, especially with the cue taper etc

Well if it becomes my main playing cue that will be addressed along with an sd joint Only annoying thing is it would need to be extended to maintain the length, if parris could match the ebony up so it blends in well then that wouldn't be too bad besides the waiting time.

To be fair though if you actually measure out 0.5mm on a caliper its comically tiny, i'd be surprised if many people could tell the difference visually between a 9.5 tip and a 10mm tip on cues side by side.

Hate it when people get specs wrong

I hate it even more when people who have got the specs wrong, then try to tell you

that being 0.5mm out for the tip, and being 3/4" out on length ( shorter ) is neither here nor there.



Especially with old cues, where the price can vary quite a lot according to specs. .

[jrc750]

Tip is actually 9.5, rest of the specs are dead on, 58" and 30mm butt, 18oz exactly.

Was the tip size 10 mm as described then ?

Haven't actually checked, looks to be around that, will have to get the calipers out later.

Plays amazingly well this little cue, pictures don't show how dark the shaft is, it was made around 92 and has a nice aged look to it. Just needs a refinish to get it silky smooth again.

Hi Guys

After playing for a year with a Parris cue, I decided I wanted to get something a little stronger as my Parris seemed to be a little too whippy,
so I was trying to decide if i would get unnamed or go to GBL or some of the suppliers to see what was on offer, we just a couple of days before
a long trip up the country to GBL, A friend on mine said I have a cue you might like, just take a look, no obligation, just let me know what you think.....

Well I went top his house for a look over, and to tap a few balls around on his Table......... Hmm, I thought this feels very solid, it still had the price ticket
on it as it appeared to be newly made for a player (No Names), but was a little short at 57" long. Its a very solid cue, very tight grain, plain ebony butt,
spot on 18oz, 9.75mm tip size 17in bp, very regular specs I know but it was the colouring of the ash shaft, the quality of finish and solidity of the cue that turned my head.
Take a look at the pics, its a great looking cue, I now have the extensions for it, it plays very well.

Robert Osbourne has confirmed that it is one of his cues and has looked it over. it is the closest thing I have ever come to my old Rodney Hinde cue that I had in the 80/90s
