Does an Index to Joss Cues by Serial # exist? With photographs? With written descriptions? I would love to find out where my Joss is in the family of Joss Cues. I would love to know more about my Joss's "brothers and sisters" but as far as I know, there is no such resource. Did Joss make "runs" of similar designs or was it just a scatter shot? Any ideas?

Serial numbers are unique to the cue made. My cue started as an OP42. I had the rings from a 10-01 with steel joints . The Model number wouldn't do any good. Op42c20 is the official model number assigned from Dan. Only google results are for my cue. The current 20-42 listed on the website after my cue was built, is the closet you will find. Mine has the old time stitch ring joints. There are plenty of brochures with model numbers listed from the 80s up to 2002 in the cue and case gallery. There's also an album on social media with 70 or so photos.

I don't care much for chip tournaments. As long as you keep winning, you get to keep playing. I've played in some where you have to wait over 30 minutes to get called up again after a loss. Players have won this tournament with a record of like 8 wins/6 losses. I may go 35-3 and not cash. They're brutal, especially when you see players going as slow as they can get away with just to have to win less games.

This is now off topic, but...

We do it the opposite. If you lose, you stay on the table and break the next game. Weaker players are out the door pretty quickly because they lose, and lose, and lose...

Yes, if you win you go back to the top of the list and do have to wait. You socialize. You watch matches. You know what you are in for when you choose to play. Then you get called to a table and immediately have to switch on for what is basically a hill-hill game. I think it is a real opportunity to test your game and your mental strength.

Finally, the tournament manager will rearrange the wait list to even out games, so there is no incentive to slow play. By the last few rounds (getting toward the money) everyone will have very close to equal games played.

It's not for everyone though.

... For these arguments my conclusion is: Weight of playing cue and break cue should be identical.

And maybe also the balance.

Your cutter tip is not at the center of the piece, that's why it is leaving the small piece in the center. You will need to raise your cutter up. To keep it from moving away without holding the wheel, there is a thumb screw directly behind the cross slide this will lock it in place

stick with one stick, basically all cues play the same after you use them a couple weeks

The first part of that is: pick your first cue carefully. You may be able to adapt to anything, but some work faster than others.

That is really cool. I think I would hate Chip tournaments, unless they call you fairly quick, to play the next guy. If not, then you just play 1 game, then wait. Then play 1 game, and then wait again. Hard to get any kind of rhythm going, I imagine, if that makes any sense. With that being said, you played him 1 game, so it made your odds so much better, of winning, then if you had played him, a race to 3, for example.
