For over 40 years Joss Cues have lead the pack when it comes to superior design and value. ALL Joss Cues exhibit exceptional qualities: from the leather tip to the rubber bumper. Each and every cue is made by Dan James and his son Stephen. Joss Cues are made using the most advanced adhesive technology, curing and aging techniques available. It is no boastful claim that Joss Cues are the best quality money can buy. Quality takes time, dedication and knowledge. Joss Cues was born in 1968 in a two-car garage in Baltimore, the brainchild of Dan Janes and his partner. Working with one ancient manual lathe, a butcher-shop band saw, one drill press, and a single work bench, the two former road players took some of contemporary cue making's first steps away from the traditional four-prong design, innovating the floating points concept and many others. Their unique ideas coupled with Dan's personal relationships with the best players of the times including: Willie Mosconi, Steve Mizerak, Weenie Beenie, Eddie Taylor, Ed Kelly, Larry Lisciotti, Luther Lassiter, Jimmy Fusco, Richie Florence and Joe Balsis, just to name a few, helped make Joss virtually an instant success. Joss has remained at the forefront of cue making in the more than four decades that have passed.
