The Legacy Series captures designs introduced between 1983 and 1991.
During this period, Dan refined construction, balance, and aesthetics to meet the demands of serious players.
Consequently, these cues represent a pivotal moment in cue-making history.
Dan’s contributions earned him major recognition.
He entered the American Cue Makers Association Hall of Fame in 2003.
Later, he was inducted into the International Cue Makers Association Hall of Fame in 2013.
In addition, the ACA honored him with a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2022.

It represents a lifetime of craftsmanship and innovation.
Inspired Floating-Point Design
The 8917 Legacy continues the groundbreaking floating-point inlay design introduced in 1982.
This design quickly gained recognition among top players and collectors.
Furthermore, this model holds special meaning, as it was one of Dan’s personal favorites.
As a result, it reflects both his creative vision and his attention to detail.
The cue features intricate inlays of faux ivory and ebony.
In addition, colored maple surrounds these elements, creating a layered and balanced design.
Together, these details produce a striking visual effect that remains elegant and refined.
Because wood is natural, every cue shows slight variation.
The wood is a natural substance, and the grain and color can vary greatly.
Therefore, each 8917 Legacy has its own unique character.
Stainless Steel Joint and Traditional Wrap
To begin, the cue features a stainless-steel joint polished to a mirror finish.
This joint delivers crisp feedback, lasting durability, and timeless appeal.
Meanwhile, a hand-pressed Irish linen wrap completes the cue.
Players appreciate linen for its secure grip, smooth feel, and consistent performance.
Joss has proudly offered Irish linen wraps since the beginning.
Built for Performance
Beyond its beauty, the 8917 Legacy is built for serious play.
Its full-length core runs from the butt plate to the joint.
Because of this construction, the cue helps resist warpage over time.
Furthermore, the core creates a solid one-piece feel and a superior hit.
Players expect the dependable Joss response, and this cue delivers with consistency and confidence.
