Parris Cues are asnooker cue makerheadquartered inLondon. Founded in 1984, the company was started byJohn Parris.
Parris Cues' products are produced at the company'sForest Hill, London, UK workshop. The company sells its cues worldwide.[1] The first notable major cue repair was performed in 1987, when Steve Davis's cue snapped at the ferrule, whilst playing in theRothman's Grand Prix. It was decided the best option for repair, whilst maintaining the cue's balance, and therefore playability, was to extend the butt by the same length lost from the tip, however this meant sawing the most famous cue in snooker in two.[2]
Parris Cues have been used by professional players, includingRonnie O'Sullivan,Jimmy White,Steve Davis,Stephen Hendry,Stephen Maguire,John Higgins andNeil Robertson.[3]
