Mike Woodridge cues

[Byrom]

Xiao Guodong used an old ash one most of his career he is around 32 in the world, James Cahill also used a maple one when he first became pro - both may have changed now don't know.

Shane castle had a Mike Wooldridge since he was 9, tried it for a frame when it went to Hong Kong, beautifully made cue

I remember James Cahill saying in an interview he used to have a MW cue.

James did have a MW cue but he sold it a few months ago, then drove through to Greenbaize and spent time trying out cues before choosing a cue that he liked and thats his playing cue now!! I think its a GBL cue

Ah ok cool, Greenbaize has a good reputation.
Hope Uncle Hendry bought it for him

How come you never see or hear of any pro's using Mike's cues? Very strange

Cause Mike will serves those PRO(s) just like how he served me .....
To Mike, all his customers are all PRO ~~~~

Agree.

The Pros want freebies and then even more when they play with certain Cues on T.V.

From the dealings i have had with MW there is no way in hell any Pro will get a free Cue or preferred treatment over anyone else that is a paying customer, you get you get with MW and it is straight out honesty with no bull**** and crap.

Mike will not bend down and take it up the clacker like Parris does so he has exposure on the big stage and Parris are the most over rated Cues on the market today which also have a 2 year wait! lol and i pity anyone who orders a brand new JP these days and you are fooling yourself if you think John actually makes a Cue these days. Horror stories about JP Cues are everywhere now regarding wait times.

Gimme any MW over ANY Parris any day of the week and i have owned both.

I appreciate your points chappy5 but if everyone stopped using a product because the original maker/inventor wasn't making that product by hand himself/herself the world would come to a stand still.

I know there has been some bad Parris cues on the market but don't believe the pro's use Parris cues just because he gave a few free ones away back in the day. It was the best business deal he ever made. I don't doubt MW TW or any other world class cue maker and I am sure some pro's have certainly used MW cues to try them out but it seems none of them are using them at the minute.

I've just ordered one of Mikes Tiger cues! Absolutely buzzing to get it and have a knock!

[craig147]

A top proffesional won't use a cue just cause they got it for free that is just ridiculous, a top pro will use a cue that they feel is the best cue for them and that they feel comfortable and confident with as its there livelihood ! For example I know a cue maker who supplies a few top pro's and one proffesional ( former world no 1 ) in particular got a cue and didn't like it so returned the cue but still payed full price for it and it wasn't cheap and then bought another one from same cue maker at full price. These top guys are not short of a few bob and won't risk performance or reputation for a freebie ! The only way you will get these guys to play with anything is to start paying them a lot of money in sponsorship to play with a certain cue so if they are not winning then they are still getting paid so to speak !

[itsnoteasy]

As far as I know, the pros don't get sent or offered A cue, they are given quite a few from Parris and they pick one that they like and get it for free.

[mikeyd100]

Also I reckon Parris would triple check the quality of the cues sent out to Pro's himself, to make sure they are top notch.
