i love the fast players like drago, strickland and others
July 30th, 2010 at 7:07 am
i’ve you’ve got a good enough game to … “give them a game” … finding the money isn’t hard… walk into any pool hall and start playing… lay a 50 on the table… you DON’T have the game
July 30th, 2010 at 7:07 am
@silenttrigger86 Predator is o.k, but have you tried Southwest?
July 30th, 2010 at 7:43 am
Yeah they good…but when it comes to 9 ball and pool….nothing beats a Predator cue!
July 30th, 2010 at 8:14 am
Ronnie was there he’s out of this world at snooker I don’t know about pool
July 30th, 2010 at 9:05 am
Piss on all these players if I had the Money I could give them a game..
July 30th, 2010 at 9:28 am
well played drago!
July 30th, 2010 at 9:32 am
John Parris cues are some of the best
July 30th, 2010 at 10:22 am
wow tony is awsome…
July 30th, 2010 at 11:09 am
why so many top players use parris? o’sullivan, davis, etc etc
i got a parris cue, amazing quality, only made to order
July 30th, 2010 at 11:56 am
I think you should take a CUE REST mate.
July 30th, 2010 at 12:36 pm
yes he does……3 minutes and 33 seconds…..
July 30th, 2010 at 12:57 pm
as thier game is good but thier cue is letting them Down.
Sometimes the Cue change can make a world of difference.
Although I play with my Riley now for 6 yrs and still use my Peradon on times and occassionally will play with a CUE from asnooker CLUB.
July 30th, 2010 at 1:00 pm
My first cue bought with some knowledge of snooker was a Peradon which was amazing especially for screw shots and shots with the rest.
Parris cues I would not recomend as Parris is known for repairing Cues.
The Huge differences in Pool cues is RIGHT as the SIZE and tip are bigger also the GRIP is different to a snooker cue.
and height of cue.
You know POOL cues very well.
I dont I dont even own a pool cue and am just more interested in playing.
But some people might be advised to get a new cue
July 30th, 2010 at 1:14 pm
Parris is more of a man who fixes cue tips and straitens cues.
Yes I know he makes cues but Riley are much more Famous and i use one.
As for cues being different I dont know POOL cues like you you seem to be an expert and I dont own a POOL CUE.
If you are just starting snooker I would not reccomend a Parris cue a Rily or Peradon most stores stock Riley.
The very first cue I bought was an £7 cue which withinn 2 yrs I got a 87 break with on a full size table.
July 30th, 2010 at 1:28 pm
Just wanted to point out that there are huge differences in cues with Parris, Riley or BCE and pool cue makers like Szamboti, Scruggs, Nitti, Southwest or my fellow german cuemakers like Eurowest, Arthur or Vollmer
Many top players use sponsorship cues available for little money like Lucasi (Hohmann) or Longoni (Feijen), Pagulayan (Schon R12 until it warped) or John Schmidt playing experimental OB Cues
July 30th, 2010 at 1:35 pm
yup 3 mins or so
July 30th, 2010 at 2:17 pm
Reading these comments I would completely disagree.
Parris is famous for cues but deals with CUE TIPS more.
The best Cues are Rileys cues or BCE.
I myself use Riley as they coem from the best wood and are the best price I use to own a Peradon snooker the first cue I bought.
When I changed to Riley I got a 144 on a full size table.
The cue is very importnat but for me any cue that is good regardless of make is a good cue.
Parris is just reinventing the riley.
July 30th, 2010 at 3:04 pm
Oh I love Tony Drago he was a great snooker player.
Correct me if I am wrong but hasnt he got the world redcord for the fastest century in a proffessional match.
July 30th, 2010 at 3:59 pm
You have to distinguish between pool and snooker. Tony said in an interview that he likes his Parris poolcue, but it’s not as good as the normal pool cues. Parris is a top snooker cue maker, but in pool there are others like Scruggs or Szamboti. AND there are 3 world top cuemakers in Germany. Eurowest (learned from JossWest Bill Stroud), Arthur and Vollmer (learned at BlackBoar and Hohmann became WC with a Vollmer)

Sure snookerloopy08. I didn’t mean to sound defensive. The truth is you seem to know a lot more about it then me, and I may have “assumed” a few things, and we all know the cliches surrounding assumption. just having a nice chat. Unlike some of the comments you find on youtube. People just love to get a rise out of each other!
Back to Hendry, I couldn’t believe his cue was worth £30 or something. It won him so much, I guess that is the true testament to the skill of a player over the cue
July 30th, 2010 at 5:05 pm
I was not saying that you were wrong by the way wolfie ted, Many pro players have used a parris cue at some point in their career. The reason that so many used his cues is because he would offer to make them dozens of cues for free, he did this because with more players using his cues, his popularity as a cue maker will increase.
Stephen Hendry is using an Acuerate cue, I think John Parris offered to make hime several new cues to replace his powerglide connoisseur after it was broken in 2003.
