JOSS CATALOGS

If we get a list of the distributors, dealers, and retailers like J&J America, Cue&Case, or Cuestix...as well as any others selling Joss at the time, we could see if any of their old listing are still on their servers or in the internet archive (way back machine).

Might find a match that way.

Knowing exactly what retailer it was bought from would be a huge help. Could even just contact them if their old listings are no longer online.

I bought it on Ebay. After some digging in my old emails, it came from a seller called SpiralBilliards.
I remember the listing as saying it was #49 of 50. And I also found that I did send an email to Joss(unanswered) in 2006 that I asked about it and I referred to it as J5100 (But I do not recall where I might have gotten that number from).
I will get better pics of it soon.

Where is the rule banning the "lift stroke" and the "sideways stroke" for close balls?

Ferrel is a word, but I think it's used only very rarely to mean a sleeve that prevents splitting. It is listed in one dictionary as an archaic variant of ferrule. It's generally confusing to use archaic variants.

Did you know that the Y in Ye Olde Shoppe should be pronounced "th" because it represents the archaic English letter "thorn": þ? Some people want to bring it back, or as they put it: Bring back þe letter þorn!

i didn't know that, interesting. makes sense considering english and icelandic are the only germanic languages that use th/þ (rather than d).

At least the way I shoot it, the cue is aimed at my belly button, and if I slip...👻
But usually I don't shoot it that hard.

It's obvious you are not familiar with this shot. Done correctly, using only one hand holding the ferrule it is a very easy shot to execute. The butt of the cue lays on the table. The actual stroke is a delicate little tap, no sweeping up and down or swiping sideways.

All the physics in the world won't teach you everything about pool. I learned from the masters, not from calculators or the like. You learn something new every day!

Here is a vintage Brunswick chalk that you pretty much have to set on the rail chalk side down. (The chalk is on a clear stand with a mirror underneath so you can see both top and bottom.

Any NEW Meucci players?

Hail Mary Shot
I had the chance on buying 2 old Meuccis' but opted they aren't worth it considering the much newer options I can get for the same price or add a bit more. I opted to order 2 customs instead. One merry widow and one a southwest inspired cue design. Also, got to choose the blanks to use. Ebony and birds eye maple, cocobolo and bocote.
