LS85-5C Legacy

Description

LS85-5C

Dan Janes was a highly influential figure in cue making, and the Legacy series represents a special part of his legacy.

His commitment to combining functionality with aesthetics allowed his cues to stand out as high-quality tools for players while still being works of art.

These designs, introduced between 1983 and 1991, show the evolution of his craft during that period, as he worked to refine every detail to suit the needs of serious players.

It’s impressive that his dedication to the craft led to recognition in not one but two prestigious halls of fame.

2003 American Cue Makers Association Hall of Fame

2013 International Cue Makers Association Hall of Fame

Dan received a lifetime achievement award in 2022 from the ACA.

His work shaped the way cues are designed and influenced the game itself. If you’re a cue enthusiast or collector, the Legacy series represents the care and precision that went into his work.

 

Crafted for the Serious Player

LS85-5C

This iconic design has been made since 1968. It is a traditional cue and has remained popular since then.

It is built for players who appreciate tradition, precision, and timeless craftsmanship.

This cue begins with a stainless-steel joint, hand-polished to a mirror finish for durability and visual appeal.

The forearm features five bold points in three distinct colors and a cocobolo center, delivering a vibrant yet harmonious visual impact.

The rear features the rich ebony look that highlights the cocobolo’s unique depth and character.

The rear showcases classic cocobolo rectangular inlays, while maple stitched rings above and below add refined detail to its vintage styling.

Finished with a hand-pressed Irish linen wrap, this cue not only looks traditional—it feels that way too, delivering a secure grip and smooth stroke.

From its heritage-inspired design to its uncompromising performance, this cue reflects the enduring legacy of Joss craftsmanship.
Not just built to play—but built to last.

The LS83-5C stain features an entire core that runs from the butt plate to the joint.
Among the many benefits of this construction is warpage resistance.
In addition, this core delivers a one-piece feel and a superior hit.
|The center core makes Joss the most solid playing cue in the industry.

Joss Cues® is made in the USA, designed by Dan, and crafted by Stephen.
