Joss 2017 – Six Point Contrast

Six Point Contrast Design

The Joss 2017 is built around a striking Six Point Contrast design that combines traditional craftsmanship with bold visual appeal.
Featuring highly figured curly maple enhanced by a hand-rubbed walnut stain, this cue immediately captures attention while maintaining the timeless style that Joss players appreciate.

The rich walnut stain highlights every ripple and curl in the maple.
As a result, the grain appears to move beneath the finish, creating depth and character from every angle.
Furthermore, the stain brings warmth to the wood while allowing its natural beauty to remain the focal point.

Wood is a natural substance, and the grain and color can vary greatly.

Because every piece of curly maple differs, each Joss 2017 possesses its own unique personality.

Six Point Contrast Forearm Styling

At the heart of the design are six ebony points arranged in a traditional pattern.
Three long points alternate with three short points, creating balance and symmetry throughout the forearm.

Moreover, each point features a bone-white diamond inlay that enhances the visual contrast between the dark ebony and the richly figured maple.
Consequently, the cue displays a refined appearance while still making a bold statement.

The ebony points provide strong definition, while the bone-white diamonds add brightness and elegance.
Together, these details create the Six Point Contrast look that gives the Joss 2017 its distinctive identity.

Bone-White Diamond Accents

The rear sleeve continues the design theme with six bone-white diamonds outlined in black.
These inlays mirror the forearm, creating a cohesive appearance from bumper to joint.

In addition, the black outlines sharpen every detail and help the diamonds stand out against the stained maple background.
Therefore, the cue maintains visual balance while preserving its traditional character.

Players often appreciate cues that remain elegant without becoming overly ornate.
The Joss 2017 achieves that balance beautifully.

Premium Construction and Playability

Beyond its appearance, the Joss 2017 delivers the performance serious players expect.
We hand-polish the stainless-steel joint to a mirror finish, creating a clean look while providing the crisp feedback preferred by many experienced players.

The stainless-steel joint also contributes to durability and a solid connection between the shaft and butt.
As a result, players enjoy dependable performance shot after shot.

Meanwhile, every component is carefully fitted and inspected to ensure long-term reliability and consistent playability.

Legendary Joss Full-Core Construction

Like every Joss cue, the Joss 2017 features a full-length hard maple core that extends from the butt plate to the joint.

This construction method helps resist warpage while creating the solid one-piece feel that has defined Joss cues for decades.
Furthermore, the full-core design transfers energy efficiently throughout the cue, resulting in excellent feedback and a confident hit.

Whether you’re playing league matches, tournament competition, or casual games with friends, the Joss 2017 responds with precision and consistency.
