I switched decades ago to using a chalk pouch after watching Allison Fischer play in a tournament.
It was so s easy to chalk your cue as often or when’re you wanted. It is not cumbersome, awkward,
heavy, comfortably placed on your belt, jeans, trousers, shorts & the chalk is easily retrievable & returned.

Don’t buy some cheap leather product from China that is just some stiff leather sewn together. Spend a
few bucks instead and get a nice leather pouch. You can spot the cheaply made pouches from the photos.

I’ve had mine for 13-14 years and it really is the best quality but it costs as much to buy as ship since it’s
made in England so it tends to be more pricey than other brands. If you can justify the price, get Peradon.

I was notified today from Debbie at JOSS that the cue is ready to ship and they were ready for payment. I happily paid the balance and asked for a photo of the final cue before shipping. I haven't heard anything back yet. I tell you what, JOSS does not mess around. They knocked this order out in right under two months! I'll share some photos and provide a brief review, once received. I'm expecting it to be excellent. Fingers crossed.

Is the joint engraved like Mike's?

This is kind of what I expected, though I was surprised that there isn't even a flake of printing left on any of the solids, however they don't appear to have been taken care of. Thanks so much for the info!

If you don't mind my pestering, what about the cue ball lets you know it's from bumper pool? Sadly I'm very uninformed when it comes to bumper pool so I'm not sure what the standout detail here is.

It's that circle you see in the 54.jpg photo, that is something you only find on a bumper pool balls.

It designates the "marked ball" that has to be pocketed first before you can pocket any others
