Joss 20149P

Description

Purpleheart Maple Cue Design

The Purpleheart Maple Cue brings together two extraordinary woods to create one of the most distinctive cues in the Joss lineup.
From the moment you see it, the rich Purpleheart forearm and butt sleeve command attention.
At the same time, the figured maple handle creates balance and contrast, giving the cue a refined appearance that remains elegant rather than overwhelming.

Because the Purpleheart Maple Cue combines bold color with traditional craftsmanship, it appeals equally to players who appreciate performance and collectors who appreciate fine woodworking.

Curly Purpleheart and Figured Maple Beauty

The forearm and butt sleeve feature curly Purpleheart, sometimes called Amaranth, a hardwood native to Latin America.
Purpleheart is famous for its unique color, which can range from deep brown tones to vibrant shades of purple.
Consequently, every cue develops its own individual personality and appearance.

The handle features highly figured Canadian curly maple selected for both beauty and performance.
As light moves across the surface, the figure creates a stunning three-dimensional effect, adding depth and movement throughout the cue.

Before any curly maple enters production, we carefully evaluate its density, grain quality, and stability.
Therefore, only premium wood earns a place in a Joss cue.

Pearl Diamond Inlay Details

The figured maple handle serves as the perfect backdrop for extensive ebony-black and pearl diamond inlays.
These carefully arranged inlays create a sophisticated design that elevates the cue far beyond a simple no-wrap model.

Moreover, the contrast between the bright pearl, dark ebony, and figured maple produces a look that feels both elegant and distinctive.
The result is beauty with a touch of sophistication.

Recently, more players have requested cues without wraps.
Therefore, this design allows players to experience the wood’s natural feel while showcasing its remarkable beauty.

Full-Core Performance

While the appearance immediately attracts attention, performance remains the true measure of any cue.

The Joss 20149P features full-core construction extending from the butt plate to the joint.
As a result, the cue delivers exceptional structural integrity, improved warp resistance, and the solid one-piece feel that players consistently praise.

Additionally, the full-core design improves energy transfer throughout the cue.
Consequently, players experience superior feedback, increased consistency, and a dependable hit on every shot.

To complete the cue, we hand-polish the stainless-steel joint to a mirror finish.
Therefore, the cue provides both lasting durability and crisp, reliable feedback.
