Is that a jointer on the left? What's it gonna be when it grows up:grin: Good haul:thumbup2:

Damn, I haven't had my shaft serviced for free in awhile:D Seriously, there customer service seems to be excellent. Was this a production Joss from an online store or a custom?

They look pretty good, I hope they hit well. If they're a little different, so what. Most standard cue designs look strange to me. Question: when you turn a piece down, do you get it close and let it sit a couple days to settle out before turning it to your spec, or do you turn it down in...

I'm not sure what you're alluding to:confused: They may be "cheese" tactics but you are playing to win? If you can do that without cheating, I see no reason to object. Television has tried to take as much defense out of the game as possible.

Since 14.1 is really the only game I care about, I play intentionals and safeties all the time. Even on barboxes when playing 8-ball. I get some funny looks but I don't care.

I've noticed this in various movies and pro tournaments. The breaker actually bends their cue into the table. Is this necessary for proper follow through? When I watch the older 9-ball players, I hardly see this.

I recently picked up a new production Joss from a dealer whom I've known for years and have absolutely no reason to distrust. The butt looks fine with serial number and logo however the shaft has no Joss logo. Is that normal?

I was under the impression that when a cue maker changes something on a cue, they change the model number too. Why does the model 302 appear here and other American sites with a phenolic joint and a certain diamond pattern (a couple sites have this): http://www.erikleecues.com/joss_300.htm yet...
