Less expensive Joss cues and quality?

The fiber pad between tip and ferrule is important with ivory. The acetone super glue treatment has stopped the growth of the crack. The hit is solid. Still under warranty. 🤷‍♂️

When I bought mine from Cole it was attributed to Bill Stroud work. His statement was well Doolie has offered 120 for it. My reply was 200 and sold followed. The next time I saw Cole he attributed it truthfully as Joss East as he was no longer in sales mode. It made no difference to me as it's not going up for sale and plays great for me no matter who made it. 🤷‍♂️
 
cole used to just say to me give me a 100. but all his cues were fairly basic ones. as he was getting them for free as fast as he got rid of them. i couldnt care less as he was a friend to say, and just gave him what he asked.

I have been playing with my Joss (east) since the late 80s. Ivory ferrule and stainless joint along with the taper and weight to suite Cole Dixon. The Irish linen wrap got nicked and I removed it to find Coles name and date in ink under the wrap. Coles style led to him playing against his cueI met in at times. His fondness for Stolies vodka contributed to his pawning habit. So Joss had his specs on file and could make another quickly.

I met Cole in 1984 at Ceasars in Tahoe, the night before the tournament he got upset playing Keith McCready and punched a post holding up the roof . His hand swelled up like a basketball . And he could not play.
