Professional Players and Their Cues

Robertson’s new cue looks like a Stamford to me. Its definitely not a Parris from the positioning of the badge.

Nope Neil Robertson confirmed on his Twitter that his new cue is made by John Parris, a one piece with more power than his last which was a JP Classic cue

[DeanH]

yep, heard that - not sure if the replica was before or after when Stanford refurbed his cue in 2016; or whether he has used it in a match, you got any info?

Current top 16:
Mark Selby - Stamford
Ronnie O'Sullivan - John Parris
Mark Williams - John Parris
John Higgins - Exquisite
Judd Trump - John Parris
Ding Junhui - Stamford
Barry Hawkins - John Parris
Shaun Murphy - John Parris
Kyren Wilson - John Parris
Neil Robertson - John Parris
Ali Carter - John Parris
Mark Allen - John Parris
Stuart Bingham - McDermott
Anthony McGill - Maximus
Luca Brecel - Maximus
Ryan Day - Ton Praram

to my calculation that is 9/16 = 56.25%

of course a player may have changed cue over the break - please let me know if you have information of any change


now if Maguire had gone though to the final of the Riga he would have made the top 16 (even top 10 maybe ) and a GBL could have been in there

Mark Selby’s back up cue is a Parris, a replica of his Stamford

[DeanH]

50% of the top 16 don’t use Parris cues. Them days are long gone!

I think most pro snooker players use parris cues which are custom made

really Neil? a "nice" Acuerate? first one I have heard of :wink:

yep, have that on my list already - thanks for the "about 9mm tip" bit though

[Neil Taperell]

Alex Ursenbacher uses an Acuerate cue that he has had for 5 years . Tip size looked about 9mm .

Really nice feel to the cue .

[DeanH]

ok ok 'some' pros are renowned...

[TooDark]

I think you’ll find most don’t tinker at all and stick with same cue unless they really have too, but there are a few who are notorious changing cues and tinkering around

[DeanH]

not "every" pro no, I have tried to keep a list but it is like buying a computer; as soon as you do it is out of date

others have tried to keep a listing on here but after short shrift it tends to stop.
Pros are renowned for tinkering and changing

[Michael B]

Does anyone know what make of cue each professional uses, eg: a list of player names with the cue they use.

I have seen other similar lists but are very outdated.

Thanks.
