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. Curly maple forearm, 19 1/4 ounces, 12.5mm HP Natural shaft, red dash rings on the butt, ebony with ash? inlays. 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.

Getting some playing time in. Low deflection takes some adjustment, for me.
