Joss Cues® Authentic Traditional Shaft Dash ring

Description

Through the last 40+ years I have changed a great many parts of
the Joss Cue and feel that they have all been successful in making a better playing and longer lasting cue.
For the last two years I have been conducting quite a few “on the road” tests with new types of ferrules and different ways of installing them.
When I started Joss Cues (1968) all ferrules were one-half to seven-eights of an inch long.

I have come to the conclusion that the old way may have been a better way.
All new Joss Cues will have the old original three-quarters of an inch capped ferrule. This ferrule will still be threaded on a wood tenon but will be just a bit shorter.
This type of ferrule has a better hit and feel. The shorter tenon has less of a chance to hinge over and inadvertently spin the ball.
At the same time it is very strong and will result in a longer lasting cue.

The Joss shaft has an insert made of linen base phenolic fiber.
This insert will hold the pin snugger than a standard brass insert and keep the shaft vibrations to a minimum when trying to spin the ball.

This can make a major difference when that extra effort is needed.
