I had a couple of similar pool cues made, both sets of front splices are Wenge, I think I may need to polish or oil them as they’re both a touch weathered looking but have been stored in good leather cases etc
My VR Ultimate finished product. Beautiful and Solid cue! Extremely well-made, and very good communication with maker
That looks sick. The ash shaft would be absolutely perfect for me.
What's the lower wood on the butt and mini butt? Figured ebony? I'm looking to get something like that as a full butt when I get around to ordering my new cue soon enough.
Here are some pictures of my 8-ball cue, it's a "Ton Praram III Series 2 Pro" unsure of the exact specs off the top of my head but it weighs exactly 500gms and is 57" in length. I'm no pro but it seems to be working well in my first year playing competitively.
Glad you're pleased with it. I have a lovely Peradon (Salisbury I think) and I toyed with the idea of one of their bespoke cues but was a bit worried about the ash shaft as I've seen a real mixed bag of nice and really not very nice on their cues on racks in various shops. Part of me would order a JP to my "ideal" design but the prospect of waiting over a year just doesn't work for me (plus, no matter how I try and on numerous devices I've lost count, I can't make Parris cue builder work)
Beautiful cue! ❤️
Doesn’t the parris cue builder require a flash plug in on your web browser to work? ( bearing in mind i’m not good with mouses ) lol

Have you ever played with the ultimate maximum?
If so I would be happy if you say what you think about both.
I want to buy Maximus and I am Undecided between the ultimate and the legend plus.
The price difference is twofold.
The difference will be aesthetics. As Mark said it will be more evenly spaced chevrons etc. There won’t be a difference in how it plays. Saying that every cue plays differently even within the same range .
I guess what you decide on will be based on how important looks are in a cue and how much money you’ve got to spend.

I use a legend plus, can't see how an ultimate would be any better. Mine is maple, and the shaft is clean and without any blemishes, nice and stiff with minimal deflection. I can't see what an ultimate shaft could have to improve on that. I guess for an ash shaft you're paying extra for evenly spaced chevrons.

New Maximus Legend Plus (maple), and my current US pool setup, which is a Predator Roadline with a couple of 314-2 low deflection shafts, and a cheapy jump/break cue by Poison. Can't get away from Maple at the moment, just can't get on with ash

The grain pattern is a bit weird for sure but it makes it unique! I’m not too bothered about the looks, so long as there is an arrow near the end in my eye line then that’s all I need. I’ve tried playing with my old cue badge down but I just prefer the feel of the butt badge up..
I like the shaft, anything that isn't over busy suits me fine.
