I have recently been hitting a few balls with the fury (radial pin) and like it. I will be buying a sp-4 within two weeks $120 online.

i have owned 3 joss and liked them all
i dont know anything about the lamericano or your other selections
the abe rich if in good condition i might go for since it was hand made and not a "production "cue
i own an abe rich cue from the 1980s and it still hits very solid

I called Joss a while back when I first saw the L'americano cue to ask about it, and they had no idea what I was talking about. I had to question whether or not it was really a Joss. Just looking at it and hitting a few with it, it appears to be a Joss, but still, I have my doubts. Maybe a collaboration or something like that. But I love my Joss, you won't find many better.
