Ebony Point Pool Cue Heritage

The 855E Legacy is an Ebony Point Pool Cue that honors the craftsmanship, innovation, and influence of Dan Janes.
Throughout his career, Dan helped shape modern cue making by combining precision performance with artistic design.
As a result, his cues earned the respect of players, collectors, and cue makers around the world.

Moreover, the Legacy Series celebrates designs introduced between 1983 and 1991, a period when Dan refined many of the ideas that helped define American cue craftsmanship.
Consequently, the 855E Legacy represents both a timeless playing instrument and a tribute to one of the most influential figures in cue-making history.

Ebony Point Pool Cue Tradition

Dan Janes earned recognition in two of the industry’s most prestigious halls of fame.
He entered the American Cue Makers Association Hall of Fame in 2003 and later entered the International Cue Makers Association Hall of Fame in 2013.

In addition, the American Cue Makers Association honored him with a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2022.
Therefore, the 855E Legacy stands as more than a cue.
It reflects a lasting contribution to cue design and the game itself.

Classic Design Since 1968

The 855E Legacy carries one of the most recognizable designs in Joss history.
Joss has proudly produced this style since 1968, and players continue to trust it generation after generation.

At the same time, the cue delivers the performance modern players demand.
As a result, it appeals to those who appreciate tradition, precision, and long-term reliability.

Five-Point Ebony Forearm Design

Next, the forearm showcases five bold points featuring ebony centers and three-color veneers.
Together, these elements create a striking contrast and a balanced, classic appearance.

The surrounding maple adds warmth and movement to the design.
As light shifts across the surface, the figure comes alive and reveals its natural beauty.
Consequently, the cue displays depth, character, and timeless appeal.

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

Wood is a natural substance, and its grain and color can vary greatly.
Therefore, no two 855E Legacy cues look exactly alike.

Ebony and Maple Craftsmanship

The butt sleeve continues the elegant design with a rich ebony appearance highlighted by beautifully figured curly maple inlays.
In addition, rectangular maple inlays provide clean lines and traditional styling.

Furthermore, maple stitch rings above and below the sleeve add refined detail and visual balance.
As a result, the entire cue feels sophisticated, classic, and unmistakably Joss.

Stainless-Steel Joint and Irish Linen Wrap

To begin, the cue features a stainless-steel joint polished to a mirror finish.
Not only does the joint enhance durability, but it also delivers crisp feedback and a dependable hit.

Meanwhile, a hand-pressed Irish linen wrap completes the cue.
Players appreciate Irish linen for its secure grip, lasting comfort, and smooth control.

For generations, Joss has proudly offered Irish linen wraps, and many serious players continue to prefer them today.

Full-Core Performance

Beyond its classic appearance, the 855E Legacy is built to perform.
Full-core construction extends from the butt plate to the joint, creating a solid one-piece feel and promoting long-term stability.

Furthermore, this design helps resist warpage while maintaining the dependable Joss hit players have trusted for decades.

Whether drawing, following, or controlling precise position shots, the cue responds with confidence and consistency.

As a result, players enjoy a cue that performs as beautifully as it looks.

Proudly Made in the USA

The 855E Legacy reflects the finest traditions of American cue making.

Proudly Made in the USA, it combines premium materials, proven construction methods, and generations of craftsmanship.

Finally, Stephen Janes proudly builds Joss Cues in America.
He was named Cue Maker of the Year by the American Cue Makers Association.

From its five-point ebony forearm and elegant maple inlays to its full-core construction and proven performance, the 855E Legacy is not just built to play. It is built to last.
