Joss 1004C – Cocobolo Sneaky Pete

Cocobolo Sneaky Pete with Traditional Character

The Joss 1004C is a handcrafted Cocobolo Sneaky Pete that combines premium Canadian curly maple, beautiful South American cocobolo, and the legendary performance Joss players have trusted for decades.
While this cue follows the classic Sneaky Pete concept, its materials, construction, and playability set it apart.

Moreover, this Cocobolo Sneaky Pete appeals to players who appreciate traditional styling but refuse to compromise on performance.
The design remains clean and understated, yet the quality of the materials immediately sets it apart from ordinary cues.

Because wood is a natural material, every cue develops its own distinctive appearance.

Wood is a natural substance, and the grain and color can vary greatly.

As a result, every Joss 1004C possesses a unique personality and visual character.

Premium Curly Maple and Cocobolo

Carefully Selected Exotic Hardwoods

The forearm begins with highly figured curly maple sourced from Canada.
Before any wood enters production, I carefully evaluate its density, grain structure, and stability.

Consequently, only the maple that meets my exact standards becomes part of a Joss cue.

Curly maple, often referred to as fiddle-back maple because of its use in fine violins, displays a dramatic grain pattern that creates a striking three-dimensional effect.
As light moves across the surface, the figure appears to shift and ripple.

The points and rear section are crafted from solid cocobolo sourced from South America.
Cocobolo remains one of the most prized woods in cue making because of its beauty, density, and durability.

Depending on the individual piece, cocobolo can display shades of yellow, orange, red, brown, black, and even purple.
Therefore, no two cues will ever look exactly alike.

Sneaky Pete Simplicity

Traditional Design with Premium Materials

The cue features a solid cocobolo wrap and rear section that showcase the wood’s natural beauty.
Rather than relying on elaborate inlays or decorative embellishments, the design allows the exotic hardwoods to take center stage.

This cue is a Sneaky Pete, but it is held to a much higher standard.

Furthermore, the simple design provides a comfortable in-hand feel while maintaining the timeless appearance players have appreciated for generations.

The result is a cue that looks traditional, performs exceptionally well, and highlights the beauty of premium natural materials.

Full-Core Construction Performance

Built for a Superior Hit

Looking for a solid hit?

This is it.

The Joss 1004C features a full core that extends from the butt plate to the joint.
Because of this construction method, the cue offers exceptional structural integrity and increased resistance to warpage.

In addition, the full-core design creates the solid one-piece feel that players consistently associate with Joss Cues.
Energy transfers efficiently throughout the cue, resulting in superior feedback, greater consistency, and enhanced control.

Whether you play league matches, tournaments, or practice sessions, the cue delivers confidence on every shot.

The center core makes Joss one of the most solid playing cues in the industry.
