Northeast 9-Ball Tour Cue Tradition

The Joss Tour 25-26 is a Northeast 9-Ball Tour Cue that celebrates one of the most respected partnerships in American billiards.
For more than 29 years, Joss Cues has proudly supported Mike Zuglan’s Joss Northeast 9-Ball Tour.
As a result, this cue represents tournament tradition, proven performance, and a lasting commitment to the game.

Moreover, this model combines classic American styling with the dependable playability players expect from Joss.
From its pearl-accented points to its ebony and curly maple butt sleeve, every detail honors the heritage of professional tournament play.

Northeast 9-Ball Tour Cue Design

To begin, the forearm features five traditional points accented with luminous pearl inlays.
These classic points reflect the heritage of fine American cue making while creating sharp lines and elegant balance.

Furthermore, the pearl accents catch light beautifully and add a refined custom appearance.
As a result, the cue stands out without sacrificing its traditional character.

Joss carefully selects premium hardwoods for every cue.
Because wood is a natural material, each cue develops its own distinct appearance.

Wood is a natural substance, and its grain and color can vary greatly.
Therefore, no two Joss Tour 25-26 cues look exactly alike.

Ebony and Curly Maple Craftsmanship

Next, the butt sleeve blends ebony and curly maple into a sophisticated custom design.
Pearl diamonds provide brightness and contrast, while French veneers add additional depth and detail.

Together, these materials create a cue that feels both elegant and timeless.
As light moves across the sleeve, the figured maple, pearl inlays, and veneers reveal texture, movement, and craftsmanship.

Consequently, the Tour 25-26 appeals to players who appreciate traditional styling and premium materials.

Hoppe-Style Tradition and Heritage

A Hoppe-style butt plate completes the design with a nod to early American cue making.
This traditional feature lends the cue a vintage character while preserving its clean, balanced appearance.

In addition, many players and collectors appreciate the historical connection that the Hoppe-style design provides.
It remains one of the most recognizable and respected features in classic cue construction.

Wrap Options for Every Player

The Tour 25-26 features a hand-pressed black Irish linen wrap with white specks.
Players value Irish linen for its secure grip, lasting comfort, and dependable control.

Additionally, Joss offers a leather wrap option for players who prefer a different feel.
Simply let us know your preference when ordering, and we will build the cue to your specifications.

Full-Core Tournament Performance

Beyond its beauty, the Tour 25-26 is built for serious performance.

Joss full-core construction creates a solid one-piece feel while promoting long-term stability and consistency.

Furthermore, this design helps deliver the trusted Joss hit that players have relied on for generations.
Whether breaking, drawing, or controlling precise position play, the cue responds with confidence and accuracy.

As a result, players enjoy a cue that performs at the highest level while maintaining exceptional feel and feedback.
