JOSS CUE - Replica of Mike Sigel's cue

[Cornerman]

Love this! In my early days of falling in love with this game, I wanted that Joss or the model Nick Varner used.

I have the only replica of Mike's favorite cue, that he won many tournaments with. It was made by Mike and Danny and has the script Mike Sigel name on it, not JOSS.

I’d love to see it, Jay!

These two cues are as close as I’ve gotten. The fancy Nick Varner Joss, and this cue made by Stephen Janes.

That's some of the nicest figured maple I've seen in a while.
How's the shaft grain??

Extremely high quality shaft wood. 12.25mm extremely long taper (that is really impressive). Perfect for spinning the rock for little touchy one pocket shots. Super soft tip.

It's a rare thing today when you get what you want. Enjoy!! Nice Axe. Hope to see it and you at you know where.

I plan on getting out to play some on Saturday (during the day) if you want to check it out. I know you're a night owl, but I'm an early bird.

That's why we always miss each other.

I just wanted to share with my AZ pals that Stephen Janes is building me a copy of Mike Sigel's old JOSS cue from the 80s. The first photo (with all of the shafts) was the very cue that Sigel used for years and played some amazing pool with. This photo was from John Wright I believe. I have had it saved for some time. Sigel did use a JOSS after that as well, but this was the one I think of when I think of Sigel. I showed this photo to Stephen and the very next day he photo-shopped the design below for me. He's going to use the white with brown spec wrap like Mike, and remove the "Legacy" from the buttcap. This was always my favorite cue so I'm pretty excited about it! It should be done in November, but I'm not especially rushed. I waited like 17 years for a Southwest...I have patience.
