IMG_0869.jpgNever seen something like this. All the points are different. Just wondering if anyone has any info on this.
 
It is wood. Multiple pieces, in fact.

I dont think one can expect points to be the same...am I missing simone here?
 
It would take a damn good salesman to demo points.
I hope the salesman doesn't present too soon and lose control
of the customer.

Here is a point
and here is number two
over here we have number three
180 degree's out is number four
Performance by design
 
Looks like it may have been an experimental cue, to see which style of points someone liked, by actually several on the same cue butt , and being able to see the difference.
 
That thing is funky, to say the least. It even looks like some of the bottom side of the points have been stained/painted over.
 
I guess that I'm just use to a cue being symmetrical in its appearance, not 4 different points. I was thinking that maybe they were showing different style points for a custom build???
 
They’ve been making this design for years. First the joint between the forearm and handle, the A joint, is joined using a box style finger joint. Then the points are inlaid. It looks different in some areas because of the nature of the box joint.

I don't think you looked at the pictures closely, that is not a standard design at all, the points are fine, but between the points are totally different designs. One is a scallop, one is flat, the other is a point.
 
Ive never seen a Joss 'dealer cue/example'. Have you considered emailing the pics to Joss to get a real answer? Or do you just prefer a bunch of wild guesses?

If conjecture is your thing, my guess is that it was a custom cue made for former road man Pointy McFlatscallop. He used it to beat all the world champions for decades. He even beat champions in other sports like bocce ball and catch-as-catch-can wrestling with that cue.

He was also the best high level instructor out there. He played with that cue to teach former unknown monster players from coast to coast, New York to Arizona one might say.... :thumbup:

I looked at the pictures closely and have seen Joss cues like this in person. It’s a finger joint. Been used in woodworking for many years. When a board is flat you see the finger joints on two faces. When turned round you still see the joints on two sides but then there are two sides where you don’t. Not here to argue. Google it for images.

Now that you said this, I vaguely recall I saw a Joss like this in the late 90's with the finger joint exposed. And the exposed finger joint would look as the pictures show as you rotate the cue, just like you said. I'd bet a dozen doughnuts you are correct. Good call!

That was their break cue you are remembering.
