Sometimes that's remnants of the wax they use on the cue butt, generally goes away after you play with it for a while.

Very true, but John would have been the first to tell me that when I was talking to him a few weeks back and trying out his cues. Don't get me wrong, the finish is so silky smooth on every cue - it's astonishing. But I am very disappointed in these whitish marks/grain - I'm not sure how to describe it but it's not the camera and I don't think it is the wax either unless the ebony is so rough chunks of wax get stuck in it

It can do depending on the grain of the ebony. A few years back I had a cue that had wide grained ebony and it had some wax deposits inside the grain pores. Depending on where on the butt it is the heat of your hand can help make them disappear over time. Even seen people be advised they can use a toothbrush to dislodge the small flecks or break them up.

Good knowledge - I never heard of this before. Still surprised as I haven't seen this with other cue makers whose cues I have, but then again maybe this is just down to the wax Pa rris uses?

The postcode Parris has some more pics and specs added, looks in pretty rough shape, he reckons it's around 56.5 inches with an 8mm tip. Looking at the pic of the tip and ferrule the wood looks pretty hourglassed in under it so would need chopping and extending.

More down to the grain of the ebony i'd say, the pic below shows a parris cue at the bottom and another cuemaker who used wider grain ebony above it and used a polish to finish the cue, both have the white flecks but its much more noticeable in the top cue. The second pic shows just how bad the top cue was, when playing rest shots that is how bad it looked.

You think that's cheap ? Lol
Always amazes me the number of people who want a lot of money for a cue yet don't bother giving you the specs !!

[jrc750]

Also you say spec is quality? Where is it written I can't see it

[DeanH]

I remember this one on JP's Instagram, I also can not see any details or specs

[mathias12]

Taking the biscuit jrc ....it's outrageous. No spec and the worst pictures to go with it. Even the splicing in picture 3 look off. How much would you honestly say it's worth? He/she said the case alone is £700.

The pennies just dropped that you were being sarcastic in your post 😅
Those cases are "only" £409
You could always price the cue up on the cuebuilder thing but I can't be bothered. It would need a special buyer that cue ehh

[mathias12]

😁😁. Priced up a more basic cue earlier which came to £1230 so that concoction would be best part of £1500+.
