Joss vs Pechauer

I've always been partial to Joss cues. I love the way they hit, especially the 20+ years old cues. I'm also a huge fan of 70s - early 90s Mali cues, which I also own. I'm looking to buy a Pechauer at the moment and was wondering about how it might compare to the hit of a Joss. I understand everyone has different preferences. I'm really into a stiffer wooden shaft and the balance of the cue. Any insight and info is appreciated.

Hit will be similar. Same SS joint on both cues.
Both brands are great quality, can't go wrong.

Only downside is that Pechauer has his own kind of joint and this makes harder to find alternative shafts.

I had a Pechauer and called them about the pin they use.
The person I spoke to laughed and said if I wanted a shaft I would have to order it from them,I sold the cue,screw them.

looks like they use two types of pins


If the cue is using that speed joint you probably are screwed. 5/16x14 is a very common size.

I also would pf probably told them to screw off too.

Have you actually measured it?
I have, but now you have me questioning myself. I made a carbon shaft for myself to fit my JP series cue. Here is the CAD drawing I made for my insert, I took a premade self-aligning insert and bored it to fit. I will measure the pin on my cue tonight to double check.

If the shank on your screw accepts an 5/16"
That might be the only one. The rest are around .320 and almost a 1/2" long.

Interesting, I checked my measurements of the pin last night, so you can see where I got my measurements for an insert from. I purchased this cue with a custom stain from Pechauer in May of 2023.
