John Parris Ultimate or Traditional

[Derek P]

I switched to a one piece cue a year ago and I think the feel is more consistent but after time I think it matters less as you just get used to it anyway. A brass joint will clearly affect the feel of the wood on a shot, but I guess you get used to that as much as the feel of the wood itself.

My old cue is great I'm still going to keep it, it's a fantastic Welsh Black by welsh pool trading but I've fancied switching to one piece for quite a while. In general ive read the 3/4 is good for more cue power cos naturally its easier to make it a heavy cue but can sometimes compromise for feel where the one piece can obviously still play the full range of shots in the right hands but perhaps a little bit more organic touch of the wood through the shot helps the player get the feedback of the shot.

Cheers lads I will really looking forward to getting a game with it, my friend is a big advocate of the 1 piece and he's been telling me it will help my game also this is my first one coming from always using 3/4 I'm keen to see if the old thing about having more feel through the 1 piece is true could be a little bit of advantage to my short game.

My 1 piece ultimate is coming tomorrow it's being packaged up in the parris shop today so for all the negative comments about John's cue's I havent paid 1 blind bit of notice I'm excited to see what the very best in cue craftsmanship actually looks and plays like.

Anyone wanting me to post some pictures I'll stick them up theres no point in hijacking this full thread with parris hating political crap from people with their own agendas.

I must be slipping Mr.P as i thought you were MB!

[MrPearwood]

I'm only playing once or twice a week for few hours. My JP special still knocking in the breaks though lol. How many pear wood cues you got hoarded away now?

You not the cue mate, you'd make i reckon a matchwinning break of 70 plus with a broom if you put your mind to it.
And to answer your question how many check your pm box in a mo

[MrPearwood]

No, not just you, me as well. My JPU is fantastic as well, and rising in value all the time thanks to jealous people like pearwood.

Please put a not up the chimney to santa asking for a brain for crimbo so you can learn to read and write English. Jealous bah not in a million years.
Now run along like a good little fanboy report me to a mod for upsetting you and dont forget to ring John boy.

I agree entirely bar the last sentence mate.
Many will think because I slag off Parris I will slag off Mike too as he is pretty pricey however until I went down Pompey and met him recently I had only ever seen one of his cues and it was PERFECT!
Down there I was very very impressed with his setup, his knowledge and skills are A1as were the cues he had in various stages.
And surprise surprise to many he is a very nice bloke. Kinda like Jeckle and Hyde between reality and his online persona.
Your last sentence though, please bear in mind why I slag off Parris. His cues are not in the same league as Mikes yet his prices for merely average cues are disgraceful. To hear kids of 10 and 11 telling me they want a Parris Ultimate one day and are saving up really gets to me.

Bloody BBC adverts !


Cue Crafty
I cant remember where I read it or perhaps saw it on a video but did he not admit that he has not made a cue in 20 yrs!
And you know the pic of the older bloke at a lathe on his site? I reckon that's the sweet shop owner from round the corner. Bought in for the photoshoot just to bring the employees average age up to 21 maybe 22
Yes they are mere kids, and spend a lot of their wages on sweeties. :P


WOODY
Your iq is way over 7 especially if you did not use a spellchecker to spell Rumpelstilskin.
I'm notsaying who I am as yet but that in itself is a clue. hehehe


throtts
Definately you mate. Over the years I have put hundreds of cues on a table and guess what?
Everyone of them just lies there sunbathing under the canopy lights. Not one of them has ever given me a break of 1 let alone a ton. No cue plays let alone plays great.

Not banned
Worro Mucka. How the hell have you not been banned yet !

I'm intrigued now cueman , what did you make of my other post #69? What I'm picking up from you so far is a gentry attitude of the riff raff can't afford the wares type attitude. Let's go a little deeper, commodity wise a JP is a sound investment currently as JP has done a great job promoting his brand, so my question to you would be do you think you have a cue/cues by JP that are far superior to say a Trevor White cue, or do you think you've got a "good player" that has a good pedigree and is a sound investment? As the "ultimate" point I think MrPearwood is trying to make is are they the BEST cues you can buy for your money? Not are they the best investment....quite different I think you will find.
