There are a few but they are 5 points and 6 pointsI thought the same. I dont like the big gap. Then I saw one recently without the big gap.
I'll see if I can find it again. I don't know if it's a specific model, or custom, but I saw it.

I couldn’t find a single cue on Joss website that I would want to have, of course it’s just my taste and doesn’t reflect anything about Joss cues and design.
I like the CoM cue, it a classic design and more of a memorabilia paying homage to the movie, and still, those gaps…
They have some five points cues with smaller gaps but 5 points are thin points and they are too similar to my Jacoby
I’ve interviewed the German head coaches about this. The explanation boggles the mind.The infrastructure is breaking down.
It's not about corporate leadership or government. It's cultural. It's about individual people doing their job.
I'm getting a short fuse on this I guess.
I reflect on our sport getting into legit space. Pros making what they should. Tournaments being what they should. The sport needs to mature financially. We sit here collecting technical data for decades. It's a failure to launch scenario.
For God sake break dancing made it into the Olympics but not cue sports?
Pool becoming a legit sport and not out hustler stigma, is the key.Gambling on games and cues? Still? Really? Business is gambling, truly. But transcending from smokey pool rooms to board rooms isn't happening yet.
Pool was in schools in California, and Bart Mahoney was the driving force- he created a plan that only needed 30K to enact in multiple districts but got shut down. It’s still on the BEF website if you want a gander.Sure, occasionally...
This is bigger than shipping delays.
I haven't checked golf or tennis forums, but I doubt they have the same problems.
If this is the bench mark, in rotation, for the modern era (WPA Worlds-8,9,10, U.S Open, China Open, All Japan)-Wake up. Josh is having a great year. At rotation games in 2025, he has won the Derby City 9ball, the Estonian Open, the Longoni Open, and the European Open. Gorst is still without a 9ball or 10ball title in 2025.
Josh, Fedor, and Shane all have two WPA sanctioned World Championships. Carlo has three, including his World 10 ball title. All of them have also won at the US Open. Josh has three China Open titles, while none of the others have managed even one. Josh has a World Games gold medal, a UK Open title and a European Open title, while none of the others have any of them.
Unless we are talking Earl's eight "major" majors (3 World 9ball, 5 US Open), there's no catching up to be done. Shane's got 7, (1 Word 9ball, 1 World 8ball, 5 US Open), Josh has 6 (1 World 9ball, 1 World 8ball, 1 US Open, 3 China Open), Fedor has three (2 World 9ball, 1 US Open), Biado has 4 (2 world 9ball, 1 World 10ball, 1 US Open). It might be too late for Carlo and Shane to pass Earl, but Josh and Fedor are young and may well pass him one day. Yes, they are that good.
Oh dang, I didn't know Bobs daughter ran Budget, that's cool to know. I'll get some messages out to both and see if they can assist. Appreciate the time!If its not in the Mooch archives its probably a custom. You might contact Budget. Bob's daughter runs it and she might know. Or contact Mooch direct.
