The Joe Callaluca cue I bought from Bamacues, so many years ago. Broke and ran the very first rack I played with it....and plenty more, after that. Played my best, ever, with that cue. Sold it...because I'm an idiot.

Phillipi???

Cody At PK Custom Cues and Mr. Treadway. The end.

Had the exact same experience with a Skip Weston cue. Great guy, and built a stunning cue for me...but it was an absolute dud. Couldn't sell it fast enough. Good to "see" you're still around, Koop.

No clue....but JC makes an INCREDIBLE cue. Wish, every day, I had mine back.

Any inside knowledge about the area? Good spots to practice? Places to avoid?

Jerry Olivier??

Same. I have a few Revo 12.9mm shafts...one for each of my Joss cues. Need to get one for my PK Custom. Maybe a Revo blank, and have Cody match the ringpack? Wonder if that's even an option...?

The only problem I ever ran into...is that you can't (or couldn't, in the past, anyway) put a Schon shaft on a Joss. The piloted insert on Schon shafts is (or used to be) too thick. Every other non-Joss shaft I've tried has worked perfectly.

NOT a legit Joss.

This. I am beyond thrilled with a custom build I "recently" had done. Price was FAR below what you're looking to spend on a Tasc. That said...I WILL own a Tasc, at some point. That's my white whale cue.

Oh, yeah....the Ebay mystery cue. That thing was cool, after Scot reworked the whole thing. You're a Meucci man now, huh??????? 😐😐😐😐😐

OP - Bob Farr (on this forum) sold me a used Joss plain jane cue at a STEAL of a price....and dollar for dollar, probably the best money I've ever spent. I have 4 Joss cues now. All late 1990s to mid 2010s. So consistently good in materials, build, and how they play.

The cat says "Sell it and buy a Joss."

Another cue from Cody Cash. The PJ he made for me is better than the Searing I owned, moons ago
