Nigel Bond uses an old Hunt & Obyrne cue!!

I bought the two piece ex-Ronnie Osullivan cue and sold it on to adr147 who then sold it on to craigslater on this forum!!

I agree with everyone on the forum who says 'who gives a sh*t which cue a pro uses'!! What difference does it make? Most pros who I have met could play wonderful snooker with an old broomhandle with a decent tip on it! They actually use cues that they get used to and become extensions of their arm.

John Parris is a really nice, helpful guy who has been making cues to an extremely high standard for almost 25 years. He made me a handmade cue back in 1985 and was a pleasure to deal with then and he hasn't changed at all, he still takes time to talk to his customers directly. For anyone who pays for a handmade cue from John (Special, Paragon or Ultimate) they will not be disapointed, John even guarantees that if they are not happy he willl change or remake the cue.

I think this thread has reached the end, Oldgit just summed it up, you request a cue from John you have to pay good money for it.
Come on folks there more to or lovely game than John Parris cues. Please start some new threads.

LOL, it amazes me to read comments that have been repeated hundreds of times already being repeated many times again in one single threads.

I have just received my Ultimate 1234 (good number) from JP 3 days ago, i have to say that i'm REALLY REALLY happy with the cue, it's made to EXACTLY what I wanted. i have been using 2 barracuda gold medal cues for the past 2 years, neither of these is near my new cue in terms of quality and the feel. although I havent made a big break with my new cue yet, but after 2 days practise I sensed that I can play much better than before.

the only thing that I disappointed with is that the delivery took much longer than 16 - 18 weeks(agreed initially). I ordered in may 02, only recv in dec 02.
and service is very average - sent quite a few emails asking about the delivery time and asked if any updated photo of the cue can be sent - none of them is replied. I had to call up eventually.

However overall, it worths the wait if you dont mind waiting!

i m going to practise again tonight.....

Happing potting with your new cue..

[White147]

JP dont makes this cues. Its only a cue brand. Better cues are cues hand made by one person ( Mike Wooldirdge,Trevor White ).

Hi White147, what does your post mean? Is is a brand, yes, but not "only a cue brand" which implies that the cues are made elsewhere and a Parris Badge applied - which I would seriously doubt is the case. Are you saying that John Parris does not make cues himself but a team he employs does? He does have a team of makers, who make the majority of the cues under his name and guidance and scrutiny but I am sure that every now and then he will get his hands dirty :-)
Mike Wooldridge does have a team (2 others) that he works with, see his website for information.
Trevor White works on his own, yes.
Others that cue makers who work on their own?
Dan Shelton (when he is working hopefully soon)
Robin Cook
Dave Coutts
Tony Glover
Jason Owen (Cue Guru)
North West Cues (Kevin Muncaster - maybe still working?)

Cuemakers with a team
Aurora (team of 2, Airin and Richard)
Mastercraft (team of 2, Dave and ?)
Stamford (team of many)
Unclevit (team of many)
Tony Wilshaw (team of many)
Craftman Cues (team of many)
Mastercue (team of many)
I am sure that all Chinese makes are from a team of many.

And let's not forget Robert Osborne, and Will Hunt.
I believe Tony Glover used to work with his father, is that right?
