Featuring elegant floating point inlays, premium materials, and proven Joss performance, this cue honors a design that helped establish Joss as a leader in American cue making.

Moreover, this model pays tribute to the vision and innovation of Dan Janes, whose work continues to influence cue makers worldwide.

A Tribute to Dan Janes

Dan Janes shaped modern cue making through innovation, discipline, and creativity.
Throughout his career, he believed a cue should deliver exceptional performance while maintaining artistic beauty.

Consequently, his cues came to be respected not only as instruments but also as collectible works of art.

The Legacy Series showcases designs originally introduced between 1983 and 1991.
During that period, Dan refined every aspect of cue construction to meet the demands of serious players.

His accomplishments include:

• 2003 American Cue Makers Association Hall of Fame
• 2013 International Cue Makers Association Hall of Fame
• 2022 ACA Lifetime Achievement Award

Therefore, the LS89-12 Legacy represents more than a cue.
It reflects a lasting contribution to the game and the craft itself.

Floating Point Inlays Inspired by a Legend

The defining feature of this cue is its beautiful floating point inlays.
Originally inspired by Dan’s revolutionary floating-point designs introduced in 1982, this style quickly became one of the most recognizable looks in professional billiards.

Furthermore, top champions, including Mike Sigel and Nick Varner, played with cues featuring this design concept.
As a result, floating-point cues became highly sought after by players and collectors alike.

Today, the LS89-12 Legacy continues that tradition with intricate ebony and faux-ivory inlay work.
The flowing design creates depth, contrast, and visual sophistication while maintaining the timeless appearance that made the original models famous.

Premium Materials and Detailed Inlay Work

The LS89-12 combines ebony, faux ivory, and carefully selected hardwoods to create a cue that stands apart from ordinary production models.

Additionally, the intricate inlays showcase the attention to detail that has defined Joss craftsmanship for decades.

Because wood is natural, each piece displays unique grain patterns and color variations.

Wood is a natural substance, and its grain and color can vary greatly.
Therefore, no two LS89-12 Legacy cues are exactly alike.

Stainless Steel Joint Performance

A precision-machined stainless-steel joint anchors the cue and provides outstanding durability.

Joss hand-polishes each joint to a mirror finish.
Consequently, the cue delivers crisp feedback, excellent consistency, and the firm hit that many experienced players prefer.

In addition, the polished joint complements the cue’s elegant styling.

Traditional Irish Linen Wrap

Meanwhile, a hand-pressed Irish linen wrap provides comfort, control, and dependable grip.

Players appreciate linen because it maintains a consistent feel in a variety of playing conditions.
Furthermore, Irish linen remains one of the most respected wrap materials in cue making.

Joss has proudly offered Irish linen wraps since the beginning.

Full-Core Performance Technology

Beyond its elegant appearance, the LS89-12 Legacy is engineered for performance.

Its full-length core extends from the butt plate to the joint.
As a result, the cue delivers the solid one-piece feel that players associate with Joss cues.

Furthermore, full-core construction helps resist warpage while promoting long-term stability and consistency.

Whether drawing, following, or controlling precise position shots, the LS89-12 responds with confidence.
