At the Mosconi Cup he was shooting with some kind of hybrid - It had butterfly splices in the butt and no wrap, but what looked to the eye like somewhere round a 12mm tip with a US-style "Pro" taper rather than the continuous taper of a snooker cue and the joint in the center rather than a 3/4 joint.
Whether this was my by Parris or not I do not know. It looked nice, some nice wood selections were used in my opinion.
