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.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?
This is now off topic, but...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.
And maybe also the balance.... For these arguments my conclusion is: Weight of playing cue and break cue should be identical.
Saved me some typingYour 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
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.stick with one stick, basically all cues play the same after you use them a couple weeks![]()
