Hi,
If anyone has credible and verifiable information which type and specification cue the leading pros use, post it here.
Disregard the hype and mostly lies from vested interest groups who claim all sorts to get their own product sold, one awful web site I have come across is the Cue & Caseman he posts on his webpage a list of cues allegedly used by the leading professionals which is a total fabrication, either the chap is a fraud or an idiot, or maybe both? his claim is that 14 out of the current top 16use a Parris cue, absolute nonsense;
He lists the current world no 2, Ken Doherty as playing with a Parris cue, absolute rubbish, Ken uses a club cue that has been modified to suit his height and reach, NO PARRIS, he then lists Mark Williams as using a Parris Cue, also rubbish, Mark uses a 57" machine spliced ebony/ash cue made for him by Trevor White from wales, likewise Stephen Hendry rejected all 4 of the samples made for him by John Parris when his own cue was damaged, he now plays with a Master Cue that has been adapted for him by Parris, NOT MADE BY PARRIS, Ronnie O Sulivan used a Parris Traditional he later gave away to a young boy he now plays with a cue made by Stamford Cue Makers, the same company that made the cue for Ding Junhui, the Australian Neil Robertson was also quoted as using a Parris cue, rubbish again, he uses a cue made for him back in Australia, Matthew Stephens uses a Trevor White cue, Steve Davis plays with his old "Ye Olde Ash" again, Magquire uses a cue made in Scotland by Andy Gibb, last years world champ Murphy uses an old cue modified which was once Ray Reardons cue, so where does that leave this chaps ridiculous claims???
I dont mind if people push one brand or another because they sell it or have heard about it third hand, but lets stick to the facts.
By the way, I have never known one single professional who has used a cue made by Tony Glover ?? by what he charges for his cues, and I have one of them, you would think that 99 out of 100 top pros would use them, mine is beautifully made, no question, but plays like a broom handle, the best I have bought over the years has been an O Min cue, I rate that above my Parris Professional, and well above, the workmanship is far better as is the balance and ash used, I understand that quite a few of the pros are putting their overpriced Parris cues in the rack, or on eBay;; and play with O Min or Master Cue, and who could blame them.
