Five Point Cue Craftsmanship

The Joss Collector Cue HM016 is a five-point cue that reflects the timeless design principles that helped establish Joss as one of the most respected names in cue making.
Combining sharp handmade points, highly figured curly maple, traditional ring work, and premium leather, this cue delivers both classic beauty and serious performance.
As a result, players receive a cue that feels every bit as impressive as it looks.

Moreover, the HM016 embraces traditional cue-making artistry while incorporating the advanced construction methods that modern players demand.
Consequently, it appeals to both collectors and serious competitors.

Five Point Cue Design

To begin, the forearm features five handmade sharp points accented with white, blue, and green veneers.
Each point showcases a curly maple center that creates a striking contrast against the surrounding wood.

Furthermore, these points are carefully inlaid into hand-selected curly maple chosen specifically for its exceptional grain and visual character.
As light moves across the forearm, the figure creates a remarkable three-dimensional appearance that immediately captures attention.

The combination of colorful veneers and figured maple gives the cue a refined, traditional appearance while preserving the classic styling that has defined Joss for generations.

Because wood is a natural material, every cue develops its own unique appearance.
Wood is a natural substance, and its grain and color can vary greatly.
Therefore, no two HM016 Collector Cues look exactly alike.

Curly Maple Cue Heritage

Joss carefully selects premium curly maple for its beauty, stability, and long-term performance.
Before construction begins, Stephen evaluates each piece for grain quality, density, and consistency.

As a result, only wood that meets strict standards is used in a finished cue.

In addition, curly maple offers visual depth and natural movement that many players and collectors admire.
Consequently, the forearm remains the centerpiece of this elegant design.

Traditional Ring Work and Rear Design

The rear sleeve continues the cue’s traditional theme with a classic dash ring accented by small matching blue rectangles.

Furthermore, these subtle details provide visual balance while complementing the colors found in the forearm points.
As a result, the cue feels cohesive and well-proportioned from joint to butt plate.

Rather than relying on excessive ornamentation, the HM016 achieves its beauty through clean lines, careful detail, and thoughtful design.

Premium Embossed Leather Wrap

One of the most distinctive features of the HM016 is its premium leather wrap.
Joss uses black cowhide leather embossed to resemble an elephant-ear texture.

In addition, this wrap provides a secure grip, exceptional comfort, and a luxurious feel in the player’s hand.
Consequently, it enhances both the appearance and performance of the cue.

Players who appreciate premium materials immediately notice the difference this wrap provides.

Stainless-Steel Joint Performance

The HM016 features a highly polished stainless-steel joint that perfectly complements the cue’s traditional styling.
Not only does the joint add durability, but it also delivers crisp feedback and a firm, dependable hit.

Many experienced players continue to favor stainless steel for its consistent performance and long-term reliability.
Therefore, it remains one of the most respected choices in cue construction.

Full-Core Construction Advantage

Beyond its elegant appearance, the HM016 is built to perform.
Full-core construction extends from the butt plate to the joint, creating a solid one-piece feel throughout the cue.

Furthermore, the full-length core helps control warpage while promoting long-term stability.
Players immediately notice the superior hit, dependable feedback, and balanced response.

Whether competing in tournaments or enjoying recreational play, the HM016 performs with confidence and consistency.
