    No. I bought mine from Stu 3 years ago. Still loving it as much as i did the first day I had it. Little video on my youtube channel about it here...

    I had a titanium ferrule fitted to my Maximus Legend Plus
    THEY ARE UNBELIEVABLE

    My cue has now gone from having nearly 3/4 balls throw on firm shots to less than a 1/4 ball. Zero throw on slow pace shots

    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..

    The shaft is quite stiff, when I tried it in the shop it felt the least stiff of the SP cues, but all the SP’s where fitted with rock hard tips which I think made them seem extra stiff. Stu swapped the tip out for an Elkmaster and it played much better!

    I think I was just in the shop so long that the chap in the back room went home! So I didn’t think to ask for the titanium ferrule assuming he was probably the man who carried out the job?? Never mind!

    Yes, tried allsorts, to no avail. Flash player is old hat now and so I'm guessing Parris will have to find an alternative soon.

    9mm tip snooker or pool Greg?
    Pool, Neil. I doubt I'll be using this one for the snooker table, since I already own a heavier, longer and thicker tipped Woods cue for that. So, yeah, looks like it'll just be for English eight-ball.

    I went with a P60 shaft to be on the safe side. It's a little darker than I had anticipated, but it looks lovely.

    Out of all the range of stock cues Peradon do, their Salisbury is up there as one of my favourites. I was even considering getting a kingwood splice instead of the padauk one I went with to make it somewhat resemble a once-piece Salisbury.

    I take it you like JP cues then, you’ve got more JP cues than JP has.

    Long story, i started playing much more early 2019, i love my old craftsman but it doesn't have a extensions joint so i wanted one with.
    So last year i got me one from jimmy.com but couldn't really get on with it, now i discovered it's mostly the cue tip and the laquer that put me off.

    I really didn't know much about cues, i didn't even know a ash cue has 'arrows' since i was used to play with the flat butt part down instead of up.
    And that after playing for 35 years eh.

    So after getting that cue i didn't get on with i figured one should never buy a cue without playing with it so i planned a trip to the parris trip in London in April 2019.
    I brought a Parris 'professional' cue with me then.

    Really nice cue.

    I got a cheap sportsdirect cue too, ROS, 2 piece that splits in the center because i planned a second trip in October 2019 to my coach in Bloxwhich and it would be easier travelling.
    Never used that one because i ended up going there with the JP professional anyway.

    By joining this forum and reading and learning about cues i got interested in trying other models and got a JP traditional one piece.
    REALLY like playing with a one piece cue.
    At some time i got a fake one from ebay, worthless, it's not even straight so i'm not counting that one.

    At some time the owner of a local club i sometimes go to was selling a JP ultimate, i went to the club tried it out and was immediatly hooked on it.

    And i even have another one ordered now with JP, a Ultimate one piece but that's probably for in another 5 years.

    Sooo to sum it up:
    Old Craftsman
    Jimmy.com cue
    Fake worthless parris
    cheap sportsdirect cue.
    JP Professional
    JP Traditional
    JP Ultimate
    and another one piece ultimate ordered.
