Joss cue 1 of 1. Started with the JS70 model (retired) and added a 1/4 Hoppe ring, black Irish linen wrap with red specks, dashed rings at the joints, and old style Joss logo engraved. 19 1/4 ounces, 12.5mm HP natrual shaft. Stephen signed the cue between points. The red doesn't quite pop in the photos due to the LED lighting. The color is amazing. *Ignore the chalk and 1701 shaft. I grabbed the wrong one out of case.*

Thanks Matt! I'm going to give it a whirl this weekend.
That should serve you well for a lifetime!

Have you tried the HP shafts? I'm wondering if it'll be a noticeable difference.
Nahh...I'm a 314-3 player if shooting with a JOSS/SCHON. Used the 314 for 20+ years.
Right now, while I still collect certain JOSS cues - my main player is a new Meucci Gambler with the pro shaft. I think they play/feel fantastic.

I really like my m3 Meucci. It was my first good cue. (I thought the Mizerak was a good cue until I played with the Meucci.) Pre-dot maple shaft, 12mm pro taper.

Nice! Garden and arrows?
I think it's pretty cool. It looks like an old marquetry cue was used for the handle. The disappointing thing is that somehow, for some reason, the maker used a Kao Kao joint on it. Very strange.
I loved those forearms with the small arrows, and white inlay. Very unique and cool! I wish they would come back out with some designs inspired by this.
