Have a good stack of gift cards from work. Looking for another cue around $350 or less. Here are my options:

https://www.amazon.com/Joss-JOS01-p...=UTF8&qid=1500946668&sr=8-3&keywords=joss+cue

https://www.amazon.com/Pechauer-JP-...&qid=1500946715&sr=1-13&keywords=pechauer+cue

https://www.amazon.com/Pechauer-JP-...&qid=1500946833&sr=1-37&keywords=pechauer+cue

https://www.amazon.com/Joss-Pool-Cu...=UTF8&qid=1500946954&sr=1-9&keywords=joss+cue


I normally like Merry widow style cues. Had a Joss in the past but never a Pechauer. Any other ideas?

Those are some really nice cues for the $$. I like that jos04 cocobolo 4pt. Nice cue. Look at the Viking A326 also for $270. Nice merry-widow and has the Vikore shaft.

They will play about the same. I like the last Joss cue more.
With a Joss cue you have more options if you want to change the shaft in future.

Both brands make quality products.

Both brands mentioned make decent cues. I would personally favor Joss for their standard joint pin over the pechauers unique quick release.
I would also suggest taking a look at Mezz cues. Their EC7, MSP, ZZ and AXI series have a few affordable models that may appeal to a merry widow guy :rolleyes: May be stretching the budget a little but from what I have seen their build and finish quality is among the best out there. AXI uses a proprietary wavy pin so that may affect your decision on wich serie you see more desirable. The others use United joint wich basically a well fitting 5/16x14 piloted. From personal experience I know that many aftermarket 5/16x14 shafts fit on the united pin well so it will be easier to try a different shaft on it if you want to :rolleyes:

That said I'm sure that all the cues you linked will play fine and serve you well for years to come :smile:
 
Any Pechauer over any Joss. Last I heard, if you chalk the Joss the warranty is void. I had a minor taper roll, (prolly my fault), in my 8 yo Pech sneaky, sent cue in and got back my cue with brand shaft which was better wood than my original shaft. Only cost to me was shipping to them!
 
I'm not a fan of Merry Widow cues myself (which is sort of ironic because my daily player is a MW). If it were my choice, for me, the Pechauer JP Series JP11-N Pool Cue all day long. The Joss with the 4 purple points is a close second.

That being said, there's not a mediocre cue in the lot. Can't go wrong. Enjoy! -Z-
 
All solid options. If you think you might want to get a LD shaft down the road then go Joss as it's a standard pin. If that's not your thing it really won't be an issue either way so just pick the one you think looks best. Joss and Pechauer are definitely twmof the better priodiction cues out there so you can't go wrong with either one!
